Choose a holiday apartment in Amalfi Coast Sorrento

Holiday apartments on the Amalfi-Coast offer travellers an exciting opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich, diverse culture of this beautiful stretch of Southern Italy. Sorrento is particularly popular because of its jaw-dropping beauty and rich history, which dates back to the ancient Roman Empire. The oldest section of the city has retained the narrow grid of streets and alleys created during that time; everything on the opposite side of Sorrento's ravine is somewhat more modern.

Travellers who love hiking and want to explore the history of the area on foot will be spoilt for choice. The most historic section of Sorrento extends west of the Piazza Tasso; those who want more vigorous exercise often head to the rolling southern hills.

Holidaymakers who are new to the Amalfi Coast soon learn that staying in Sorrento is a perfect hub for exploring the entire area. Nearby attractions include the lost city of Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius (the volcano that buried Pompeii in lava and ash) and the rest of the Bay of Naples. Public transportation is available for trips longer than walking distance; a train called "Circumvesuviana" offers shuttle service between Sorrento and the city of Naples. There are also ferries to Capri and Naples, and bus service offers transportation to smaller villages along the coastline, including the wonderful Positano.

Sorrento is home to many architecturally important buildings. Sedile Dominova, built in 1349, has a 16th century trompe l'oeil cupola constructed from a tin-glazed pottery called majolica. The Sedile was a gathering place for the men of Sorrento, who enjoyed conversing with one another and debating the philosophical issues of the time. This is still a beloved pastime at the Sedile, although women now congregate there as well.

The weather on the Amalfi Coast is almost always warm and sunny, with a gentle breeze that sweeps inland from the bay. Most visitors travel to the Amalfi Coast for a summer holiday because the weather is dry; the area is still warm in the winter, but much wetter.
