Seiano holidays

Holidays to Seiano give you panoramic views from a rolling hilltop with a little dash of mountain magic.

Volcanic beauty

Just by the Sorrento coast in southern Italy is secluded Seiano, bursting with Neapolitan charm. It's perched on a grassy hilltop, so clear days get you an awe-inspiring view of Mount Vesuvius in the distance. In the hot summer, the quiet waterfront's the perfect place to dip your toes.

Lord Byron's beloved

Lemons, cliffs and a long-standing tradition of writers give Sorrento a unique charm. A 15-minute bus ride from Seiano, the cliffside city's got fresh, fruity air and a lively old town. Byron and Dickens had the right idea in choosing this hotspot for holidaying. Not much farther away are the other bays of Campania, with the Amalfi Coast sprawling towards the west.

Under the radar

Mother Nature gave us a treat when she made the bays below Seiano – sand-and-pebble spots sit on crazily clear waters. The Marina d'Aequa hasn't hit the busy buzz of other beaches yet, so it's a rare quiet find. While you're there, try a gooey Neapolitan pizza from a restaurant on the tucked-away waterfront.
