The Sorrento Peninsula is at the heart of a generous and rich land, full of attractions and places to discover. Sorrento is the ideal starting point to explore the many places of historical, artistic and natural interest in Campania.

POSITANO; AMALFI & RAVELO
The two gems of the Amalfi Coast: Positano, beloved destination by the glamorous jet set of culture and art, famous for its cascade of white houses lying on the rock that slopes into the sea.

Amalfi, an ancient maritime republic, a treasure chest full of countless beauties, including the Cathedral with the annexed Cloister of Paradise in Moorish style. And Ravello, the city of music, with its villas and beautiful gardens that Wagner loved so much.

CAPRI & ISCHIA
The two most beautiful islands in Campania. Capri, glamorous destination and place of a thousand attractions, such as the picturesque square, the shopping streets, the archaeological findings, the gardens, the beaches with a crystal-clear sea.
