The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Sorrento, Campania

November 15, 2021 Diedre Savory

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.

Chiostro di San Francesco

Reviewed By FedoraOnTour - Sidcup, United Kingdom

This lovely little building houses a rather excellent exhibition of photographs by RAFFAELE CELENTANO which is well worth a look. Also when I went in July 2019 there was an exhibition on SOPHIA LOREN. Great views from the balcony AND a swing - try it out!

So much character and the atmosphere is so peaceful and tranquil. It really is a beautiful special place. There is no admission charge

Visit this lovely house and go down to the basement where you will meet the charming Mario. He will amaze and entertain you with his marvellous collection of antique musical boxes. He made the cabinets of many of them himself! Simply the most memorable experience you will have in Sorrento.

Chiesa di Sant'Anna

Reviewed By wendyanddavid536 - Solihull, United Kingdom

A tiny church on the sea front in Sorrento's Marina Grande, being lovingly cleaned by a couple of elderly ladies when we visited. The church is relatively simply decorated compared to most Italian churches, but with the usual (to non-Catholic eyes) garish statues, and two large cases of silver votives - miniature depictions of parts of the anatomy which had been presumably cured after praying to St Anna.

Agriturismo  Primaluce - Fattoria Didattica e Tour

Primaluce is a pure, magic place, a love story with Nature, with emotions and products she offers us. Primaluce surprises its guests with an unmatched view: set between sea and mountains, the property expands on terraces, among the green Sorrento hills, up to the infinite blue shades of the Naples Gulf. You can reach the farmhouse leaving the state road SS145, to take a rather steep hill road. The road to Paradise, you know, cannot be just a walk! The property has two b&b rooms and a large dining room. We offer our guests a true agrarian life experience and a convivial stay with our Family. Outside the property, there is a large equipped dining area, a playground for children, a relaxation area and some picnic green areas. At Primaluce land, you can also visit farm animals, who live free and safe in their own terraces.

We spent the afternoon walking through the picturesque hillside farm, learning how to make Pizza from scratch, drinking red wine and chatting with Alessandra and her two daughters! I can't recommend it enough for someone who wants a genuine Italian culinary and cultural experience. 10/10 would do again!
