    Holidays to the Sorrento Area draw a classy clientele, who come for the slaloming shopping streets, world-famous ruins and dramatic coastal scenery.

    Stylish Sorrento

    The Sorrentine Peninsula curves along the edge of the Bay of Naples, in Italy’s Campania region. The area’s overlooked by the massive outline of Mount Vesuvius, and has the home of pizza – Naples – just across the water. The jewel in its crown is the seafront town of Sorrento, which is known for its foodie scene and squirrelled-away shopping streets. Gelato bars, authentic trattorias and vine-shrouded souvenir shops fill the cosy lanes, and there are seafront bars at Marina Grande serving zesty tots of limoncello.

    Heaps of history

    This part of Italy is something of a history hub – the name on everyone’s lips is Pompeii. This ancient city was enveloped in volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD, and lay buried until archaeologists uncovered the intact buildings and streets. These days you can tour the remains of the city, walking on the same cobbles as those that lived here thousands of years earlier. Elsewhere, the former holiday town of Herculaneum – preserved by molten mud in the same incident – is a lesser known spot to explore. And to get views of the whole lot, you can walk to the top of the volcano.

    Island escapes

    Because the Sorrento Area’s strung out along the coastline, boat trips are a mainstay of nearly every town. Sorrento’s Marina Grande and Marina Piccolo have the most regular comings and goings, with scenic cruises along the Amalfi Coast a popular pick. Island daytrips are on the cards, too – you can sail across to the beach-brushed shores of Ischia, or explore the swanky fashion-filled streets of Capri – a celeb favourite.

    Traditional towns

    Aside from Sorrento itself, the rest of the peninsula’s settlements are made of more traditional stuff. The likes of Piano di Sorrento and Sant’Agnello tick along at a leisurely pace, and you’re more likely to see locals sipping coffee at a piazza than groups of tourists. Meta di Sorrento, meanwhile, has one of the region’s few sandy beaches. Apart from this volcanic sliver of sand, most of the sunbathing territory in these parts is made up of wooden platforms and rocky outcrops.

    Destinations in Sorrento Area

    Top Destinations

    • Sorrento

      Italian culture, buzzing bars and delicious pizzas are all on the menu on holidays to Sorrento – a sophisticated seaside town in the heart of the Neapolitan Riviera.

    • Massa Lubrense

      Holidays to Massa Lubrense serve up a slice of Neapolitan countryside. It's got a picturesque harbour and a secluded bay, and popular Sorrento's a 15-minute drive away.

    • Sant'Agnello

      Holidays to Sant'Agnello take you to quiet piazzas and rustic restaurants, and put you within touching distance of charming Sorrento and historic Herculaneum.

    • Meta Di Sorrento

      Meta di Sorrento holidays come with one thing that's rare along the Amalfi coast – a sandy beach. And with flights direct from Dublin to Campania, it's easy to reach this attractive town by the sea.

    • Piano Di Sorrento

      Holidays to Piano Di Sorrento offer a relaxing break in a classic Mediterranean setting. Enjoy views of the Amalfi coast on one side, while rolling hills with lush lemon groves rise up behind the town.

    • Sands and stilted platforms

      Almost all of the Sorrentine Peninsula’s coastline is rocky, so lots of the sunbathing real estate consists of raised-up platforms. You’ll find them teetering above the water, with ladders that make it easy to hop in and out for a swim.

    • The big beach

      Spiaggia Pubblica beach, in Sorrento, is one of the main spots for sunbathing, despite only having a few narrow slivers of sand. It’s at the foot of steep cliff faces, with zig-zagging walkways that lead to a collection of wooden jetties. They’re furnished with beach huts, sunloungers and umbrellas, and rocky breakwaters keep the swimming conditions calm.

    • The secret beach

      For a seaside spot that hardly anyone knows about, make a beeline for Bagni della Regina Giovanna beach. It’s tucked away among grass-tufted rocky cliffs, just up the coastline from Sorrento. You’ll find a cove secreted away in the middle, which gets its name from a former queen of Naples, who was said to have bathed here.

    • Bargain Buys

      One of Sorrento’s tucked-away side streets is a great spot for a bargain. From Piazza Tasso Square, you can follow narrow Via San Cesareo street, which is loaded with little fruit and veg vendors, souvenir shops and handicraft workshops. Limoncello’s sold in bottles shaped like the outline of Italy, and hand-carved wooden keepsakes are a popular item to take home.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      For something that falls between luxury and low-price, head for Corso Italia, in Sorrento. Italian labels that sell designer shoes and clothes reside here, but it’s not just about style and glamour. Cafés and souvenir shops get in on the act, too, and there are gelato bars on the narrow streets that peel off in either direction.

    • Designer Buys

      Nowhere stretches the purse strings more than the island of Capri, which reels off heavy-hitting fashion brands faster than a London Fashion Week catwalk. Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton – the list of big names goes on and on. They’re joined by jewellery shops where you can customise your own piece of bling, too.

    • Laid-back evenings

      For a night of cocktails and sunset views across the Bay of Naples, there’s a good selection of scenic watering holes in Sant’Agnello. It’s close to the town’s premier sunbathing spot, Spiaggia La Marinella, so it’s easy grab a drink after a day in the sun.

    • Lively evenings

      Sorrento’s Piazza Tasso is bustling during the day, and that doesn’t change when the sun goes down. You’ll find a handful of clubs – including one hidden beneath the square – plus plenty of bars with outdoor seating areas.

    • Delizie al limone

      These individual cakes are a Sorrento speciality, as lemons are one of the region’s prized ingredients. Sponge semi-circles are filled with lemon cream and topped with whipped cream.

    • Gnocchi alla Sorrentina

      You’ve heard of the red, white and green shades of Sorrento’s pizzas, and this gnocchi dish replicates the colour scheme in pasta form. Fluffy blobs of potato pasta are topped with tangy tomato sauce and sprigs of fresh basil.

    • Gelato

      You can’t go far in Sorrento without stumbling on a gelato bar. This thicker, creamier version of ice-cream comes in all sorts of flavours – from pistachio to hazelnut and mint to Stracciatella.

    • Caprese salad

      Simple ingredients are the Sorrento Area’s forte, and you won’t find a better example than the Caprese salad. Big slices of rich buffalo mozzarella are layered with chunky discs of tomato, then topped with basil.

    • Limoncello

      This might be the second lemon instalment on our list, but they’re just so good in Sorrento. Bright-yellow bottles of zesty limoncello are absolutely everywhere, and it’s a popular after-meal aperitif.
