Nestled on Southern Italy’s rugged Amalfi Coast is Sorrento, a picture-perfect hilltop town overlooking the turquoise glow of the Bay of Naples. Here, the fresh scent of gnocchi all a Sorrentina wafts through the air, locals bustle about in quirky antique stores and tourists swarm to the glorious shores like bees to honey. Should they look out into the horizon, they’ll see the enormous shadow of Mount Vesuvius looming in the distance.

Scattered around Sorrento are colourful ports and sun-soaked beaches sitting beneath rows of honey-coloured houses and shopfronts, selling anything from ceramics to lacework. Dickens, Tolstoy and the poet Byron holidayed here, self-confessed addicts to the salt-tinged Sorrentine air.

The three-pearl Hotel Capri is a charming boutique, ideally located in the center of Sorrento. The hotel welcomes its guests into an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. Exploring Sorrento’s winding alleyways and authentic boutique shops, you will also discover a great selection of bars and restaurants in the evening just a few minutes' walk from the hotel.
