This villa rental is located near the center of Sorrento, looking down over the city and some amazing ocean views. Going into the heart of Sorrento itself, you'll find yourself in a thriving seaside community, filled with life, good food, and great shopping. Sorrento is famous for two things you can't miss: Limoncello (an alcoholic aperitif) and inlaid wood. The workshops of Sorrento were the first to use the technique of arranging small pieces of wood into intricate patterns, a practice which has been refined and perfected through generations. Take the time to find and visit one of the workshops still in operation today-- you won't regret it! There are also a couple of places you ought not to miss. The first is the 10th century Basilica di San Antonio. Saint Anthony is the patron of navigators, and sailors have made thousands of votive offerings at his tomb in the crypt. The 11th century Cathedral is also beautiful, housing some frescoes and a bell tower with a ceramic clock. The cloisters of Saint Francis are interesting because they have been "restored" many times over the centuries, resulting in an impressive display of architectural styles from late gothic to the renaissance. The "Sorrento Summer of Music" is also held at the cloisters, every year from July to September, and features international musicians performing alongside of emerging musical talents.

Enjoyed Most:
Quiet, lots of room, comfortable, view, close to town, Giuseppina.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Directions to the property are difficult to follow-understand
Surrounding Area:
Lots available close by -- Roman ruins, fishing village, trails for hiking, access to boats to Capri and Amalfi Coast
Nearby Events or Locales:
Sorrento. A 10 minute walk
Tips or Restaurants:
Giuseppina was loved by our whole family. She is there every day and she is a delight. She does not speak English, but she is constantly learning new words. She is a fabulous cook. We had her cook two dinners for us 11 and both were great. She served us outside, did all the cooking from scratch with fresh local produce-fish, provided inexpensive local wines, and completely cleaned up. It is so nice after a long day to have dinner served outside at this quiet property rather than going out. It is also much cheaper than Sorrento restaurants. I would have her cook dinner every night and go to local restaurants for lunch while out sightseeing.
Directions:
Once there, it is easy to walk to town and back. Until you go there, it is hard to understand the directions. You do not need a car when staying at this villa.

Overall:
I would recommend it highly.
Enjoyed Most:
The view, and the many terraces from which to enjoy it. The villa was also set up in a way that the 10 of us could be together, but also could have some solitude and privacy if we wanted.
Unpleasant Surprises:
One of the bedrooms was small, and the some of the showers would act up occasionally, but nothing that would diminish the enjoyment of the villa. The villa is up a rather steep hill, so those who don't like to hike should keep that in mind. We used the hike to counteract all the good food we were eating. The road up has several sharp switchbacks making car travel a challenge. We turned in our car after the first week.
Surrounding Area:
Everything! The view was spectacular - flowers and lemon and olive trees everywhere. There were also many hiking trails that gave you a real sense of the countryside.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Apart from Sorrento, which is just at the bottom of the hill, the nearest towns are Sant'Agata and Massa Lubrense. Each is a healthy walk or an easy bus ride.
Tips or Restaurants:
Our best restaurant find was Verdemare on Via Capodimonte on the outskirts of Sorrento. The owner of the local wine store The Wine Corner - another great find - recommended it and it was fabulous. I also strongly recommend our chef, Giuseppina. She made us fantastic local dishes and was charming and fun. Her prices were very reasonable, and it was great to come back to a wonderful dinner after a day of sightseeing. I also recommend using a car service. Persico was a life-saver with personable, knowledgeable drivers willing to take us anywhere.
Directions:
The directions were ambiguous, though after seeing the property I can see that giving directions would be difficult. Our driver from Persico knew of the villa and took us directly there.
