Sorrento was our home for five nights while we toured around Campania. We chose here for the ease of bus, ferry and train connections to Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii, but also because Sorrento is a lovely little town in its own right. After the big city experiences of Rome and Naples, we knew that this vacation needed something a little quieter and relaxing for a few days. If life ever takes you to Sorrento and you don’t have a money tree in your front yard back home, stay at the Villa Elisa just off Piazza Sant’Antonino. It was the perfect home away from home and came at a very reasonable rate for this part of Italy.
We gave ourselves a full uninterrupted day to explore Sorrento as well as seeing bits and pieces of it as we came and went from our day trips. Throughout our stay, we passed through the main square in town, Piazza Tasso, many times. While bustling at night, during the day, it was quite peaceful as most of the town’s visitors were off exploring other locales. It had everything a proper European square should have – ample bars, attractive architecture and a lot of people watching possibilities.
