10 Museums in Sorrento That You Shouldn't Miss
Land of Mermaids. Land of Orange and Lemon Groves. Land of Colors. This small city in Campania has earned a plethora of alluring names. Famed for its sea cliffs, the town's steep slopes look out over azure waters to Ischia, Capri and the Bay of Naples. The birthplace of Limoncello liqueur offers some good diving, great sea fishing, boat cruises and appetizing restaurants. Excellent hiking trails cross the peninsula. Rent a car or take a taxi if the steep streets look too intimidating.

We discovered Terrerosse Sorrento during our honeymoon 11 years ago, and went back every time we had a chance to visit Sorrento from then on. Alessandro and Enrica create beautiful pottery decorated with their proprietary designs inspired to the ancient history of the city of Sorrento and the iconography of the Amalfi coast. Their pieces are all individually hand decorated and therefore unique. Their quality shows in the everyday use, we still have the coffee cups we got on our first visit and they are still like new. Our son even got to decorate his own plate by hand under Alessandro's supervision! Visit their FB page and their new Etsy store and plan on meeting them in person as soon as possible.

This small museum in the heart of Sorrento is well worth a visit. We had a bit of a time finding it, but once we did, we loved wandering the three floors and marveling at the exquisite inlaid wood that Sorrento is known for. You don't have to spend forever, but do yourself a favor and poke your nose in. It will give you a much greater appreciation and eye for this art form.

I'm a fan of off-the-beaten track, quirky museums and the Correale di Terranova was just what we needed at the end of a two week cruise on the Adriatic. if it's a lovely day, the adjacent gardens will soothe your spirit and the views from the museum and the garden are wonderful. If it's a rainy day, the palazzo itself can be a respite: There should be something that intrigues any visitor, from clocks to porcelain, from fans to rare books. My own personal favorites were the family china, decorated with scenes from Naples, and the still life paintings. Yes, the paintings are not by the big names, but that means that YOU feel like you are discovering them! And, yes, they have darkened with age and perhaps warrant cleaning. There is a lovely Annunciation by Fiammingo. Jan Van Kassel's Vertumno e Pomona is a garden of botanical delights. David de Koninck (1636-1699) was apparently the Master of Rabbits--you could ask any children with you if they can spot the bunnies in his paintings. The still lifes of Neapolitan Belvedere (1652-1732) are a bit murky, but you can still spot incredible detail like an exploding pomegranate.
