Italy Vacation Rental

Location & Area

Sorrento is one of the best known resorts in Italy, situated on a track of coastline of unrivalled beauty. This sheltered spot surrounded by luxuriant hills, where vines, olives and above all high quality citrus fruits are grown, was once the site of choice where the wealthy Romans used to build their villas, and it has been a highly prestigious retreat since 700.

The origin of the name Sorrento - Surrentum is poetically dated back to the sirens, who legend has it, lived on the rocks of the Gulf from where they tried invain to ensnare Ulysses with their deadly song. The City's origin is very old Sorrento was probably founded by Greek settlers and then subjected to the dominium of the Sunnites. In the third Century BC the Romans occupied it. During the Middle Ages it was dominated by various powers and in 1558 it underwent the cruellest attack by the Saracens who sacked it. Following this episode a Wall and defence and watchtowers, placed on neighbouring spurs surrounded the City. In 1554 the poet Torquato Tasso, Sorrento's most famous son was born.

In the old part of Sorrento, the Greek-Roman structure of the Town can still be detected with the parallel streets intersecting at right angles.

Today at the heart of the City stands Tasso Square, where besides the monument of the famous poet, is the statue of Saint Antonino, patron saint of Sorrento. The Corso Italia begins from this square a lively elegant street with wealth of shops, bars and meeting places (Guarracino Fruit Bar) etc...

Sorrento is famous for the production of limoncello, a digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar. Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives. Wood craftsmanship is also developed.

The tourist port of Sorrento is Km 2 away, where it's possible to take day trips with fast, comfortable and inexpensive ferries to Capri and the other islands of the Gulf, to Amalfi and Positano.
It is a convenient base for visiting other famous attractions: Neapolitan Riviera, Pompei, Capri, Napoli, Paestum, and Amalfi Coast.
