Holiday information

 

Elegant Sorrento

A magnet for poets, artists and aristocrats over the centuries, Sorrento continues to attract visitors from around the world with its fascinating history and heritage; its elegant buildings and glamorous lifestyle; and the natural beauty of its peninsula, set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Vesuvius.
A stay here is the ideal complement to our Amalfi Coast walking holiday – after crossing the peninsula on foot, taking in the startling coastal views and descending via softly sloping hills and centuries-old olive groves, you spend three nights close to the centre of Sorrento, perfectly positioned to savour the many delights of this alluring town.

Sorrento is well connected by train and boat – the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the idyllic isle of Capri are all within easy reach of your hotel – and we also provide notes for three walking tours, which introduce you to some of the peninsula’s lesser-known but equally captivating corners, such as the small seafront town of Marina del Cantone, and the protected Baia di Jeranto, home to over 100 bird species.
 
 

Itinerary

  • Positano to Sorrento: 11.5km, 4.5hrs; ascent 490m / descent 800m
    Today you are transferred by taxi from Positano to the panoramic village of Colli di Fontanelle, from where you strike out on foot across an open and remote hillside, enjoying spectacular views of the coast as you go. The route leads into Sant’Agata – a bustling village with a good choice of refreshment options – before descending gently sloping hills and crossing olive and citrus groves to enter Sorrento from the west.
    Enjoy spectacular coastal views as you walk
    Positano to Sorrento: 11.5km
  • Explore on foot and by train
    There is much to see in Sorrento itself: from the 14th-century Monastery of San Francesco, with its tranquil cloisters and gardens; to the pretty, pastel-coloured Marina Grande; and the park of Villa Communale, which enjoys a spectacular view of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

    An excellent way to explore the area around Sorrento is by rail: the town is served by the modern and comfortable Campania Express train, which calls at Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples – all of which make for fascinating day trips. We also provide notes for three walking tours, including a route on the beautiful island of Capri…

    Walk on Capri: 8km, 3.5hrs; ascent 320m / descent 600m
    This scenic walk starts on the quieter, western side of Capri, in the delightful town of Anacapri. It descends slowly to the rocky coast to follow an informative nature trail (in English) across cliffs and scrub-covered rocks, passing a number of small coastal forts dating from the early 19th century. The route ends close to the Blue Grotto, which can be visited by boat. A public bus service operates from here back to Anacapri.

    Walk via Capo di Sorrento: 4-5km, 2hrs; ascent 245m / descent 215m
    This easy stroll from the hotel door takes you inland and around to the rocky coves of Capo di Sorrento, a captivating headland with a perfectly formed natural pool. The splendid villa of the Roman noble Pollio Felice once stood on the rocks here, and the pool was a favourite of Queen Giovanna D’Angiò, who lived here during the golden years of her reign (1371-1435). Return to Sorrento by bus.

    Walk via Marina del Cantone: 6.5km, 3hrs; ascent 420m /descent 730m
    After a bus ride to Termini, this beautiful route takes you to the Baia di Jeranto, a pristine and protected bay with crystalline waters and over 100 bird species, including numerous falcons and kestrels. Continue south to the small, secluded fishing village of Marina del Cantone, offering a relaxed atmosphere and numerous seafront restaurants; the local speciality here is spaghetti alla Nerano, the recipe for which has been handed down for generations. Return by bus to Sorrento at the end of the day. 
    Tranquil Jeranto Bay
    Walk on Capri: 8km, 3.5hrs
    Walk via Capo di Sorrento: 4-5km
    Walk via Marina del Cantone: 6.5km

    Some lovely hikes around Amalfi coast. Walks from Sorrento were ok but needed some travel to get to and from rather than from the hotel direct.

    INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our walk The Amalfi Coast & Villages with our Sorrento add on

    The walks were all good but the highlight for us was Valle de Ferriere. The Museo Nazionale in Napoli is a very useful introduction to Pompeii. The MAR Positano Villa Romana is a must see in Positano. It gives a fascinating insight into the task of excavating Roman ruins in this area, as well as showing the layers of history built on top. We recommend Osteria Ravello on Via Madonna where we ate twice. We had the best pizza of the holiday in an unprepossessing local pizzeria, A. Gradillo in Ravello. The stand out meal in Sorrento was at La Lanterna. We also ate at its sister restaurant, L'Abate, where the food was also good but the service was more pushy. We had beautiful pasta at Ristorante Le Grazie in Sorrento.

    We used train/bus to Pompeii from out first hotel. I would advise using  taxi both ways. The bus transfers from the train was unpredictable. It was a sunday, so possibly not the best day.. Pompeii was fascinating a d well worth visiting. 

    The visit to Capri was lovely.  The walk was brilliant and taking our own packed lunch was good advice. The restaurants were busy.

    There are a lot of steps in the walks to be aware of,but the views are stunning.

    We travel with Inntravel as your walks are so interesting and diverse. The walking notes are excellent and the accommodation is always so interesting and of a great standard no matter what the star rating is. For us, as older walkers, it was challenging with the climbing up and down but that was explained on your website so we were prepared. All the information in the walking notes is up to date and the facts provided are interesting and add to the experience. The add ons, especially Sorrento and Naples, made it a lovely extended holiday.

    An incredible experience walking in the most beautiful Amalfi Coast. Positano is an absolute gem. Our disappointments as stated were the inconsistency of the quality of hotel food, the location in Sorrento, & the failure of our taxi.

    Highlights:

    The staggering dramatic scenery. The genuine welcome of hotel and most restaurant or cafe staff. Be prepared for many, many steps whilst walking. 

    Restaurants:  Ravello, Mimi Bar/Pizzeria was brilliant. Booking advisable. Sorrento, La Lantera was disappointing. Very average food and on the expensive side. La Cazzarola, recommended by the Hotel Regina receptionist was very good and not expensive. Many restaurants in the centre of Sorrento have "whippers in", to me always a sign of indifferent catering. 
    Picnic supplies, Corpo di Cava. There is a grocers immediately down the hill from the Scapolatiello run by an American. Chatty and willing to let one sample the cheese etc. before making up sandwiches. Ravello, Soon after leaving the hotels on the day 4 route there is a grocers on the left (Via Lacco?). Good for picnic and be prepared for decisions on type of bread, cheese, salad and garnish.
