Sorrento for couple

Sorrento is one of the most romantic destinations in Campania,

but to experience something truly special,

you need to go beyond the usual itineraries and discover its hidden corners.

This day is designed for a couple who wants to get lost in secret views, evocative tales, and unforgettable moments.

The journey begins in the most scenic way possible: by sea, taking the first morning ferry. Arriving in Sorrento from the sea is a unique experience, you'll be welcomed by towering cliffs that gradually reveal the profile of the town. Before delving into Sorrento’s charming streets, a seaside breakfast is a must.
An authentic Italian start with a creamy cappuccino and a warm sfogliatella, enjoyed at one of the cozy cafés at the port, is the perfect way to begin the day on a sweet note. 

Now it’s time to explore! Hop on the bus departing from the small square, a convenient way to navigate the winding roads leading to the center.
These local buses connect the port to the station, saving your energy for the adventure ahead!

Once you arrive in Piazza Tasso, Sorrento’s main square, overlooking the very port you just left, you are already at the gateway to the historic center.

But before diving in, take a small detour to visit one of Sorrento’s most fascinating spots: Vallone dei Mulini.

This forgotten valley looks straight out of a fantasy movie, a lush green gorge where time stands still, with the ruins of an ancient mill wrapped in vegetation. A perfect place for stunning photos. 

Stroll along the main street and stop to admire the Cathedral of Saints Philip and James.

Built on the remains of an ancient Greek temple, this 1924 Neo-Gothic masterpiece features a grand central rose window and elegant details honoring G. Giustiniani and the poet Torquato Tasso.

A break in nature...

 

Behind the cathedral, follow a small alleyway, the first of many today, leading to the "Sorrento Experience" Museum.

This immersive multimedia museum takes you on a journey through Sorrento’s history, allowing you to: Relive the terrifying eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, admire the artists who captured Sorrento’s beauty and listen to musicians and singers who fell in love with the town. 

The museum’s interactive exhibits, artworks, and handcrafted pieces make for a truly engaging experience.

Before taking a well-earned break, continue to the Bastione di Parsano, a historic remnant of Sorrento’s ancient fortifications.

Rebuilt in the Viceroyal era after the 1558 Saracen invasion, the Bastion of Parsano still holds traces of an even older Roman gate, showcasing Sorrento’s deep-rooted history.

Now it’s time for a break!

As you make your way back down, you’ll find countless dining options, choosing where and what to eat might be the hardest decision of the day!

For a truly special meal, opt for an intimate restaurant shaded by lemon trees, offering a tasting menu.

With so many delicacies to try, why limit yourself to just one dish?
A tasting selection is the best way to savor a bit of everything, pleasing both the palate and the wallet!

Shopping and Spa...

 After satisfying your curiosity for culture and cuisine, take a leisurely shopping stroll through the historic alleys. Wander along Via San Cesareo and Via Fuoro, where you’ll find charming artisan boutiques and local crafts. Feeling indulgent? Consider a spa experience—a perfect treat before wrapping up your romantic day in Sorrento. With some time left, head back towards the sea, making a stop at Piazza della Vittoria. Strolling past the "Casa del Tasso"—the birthplace of poet Torquato Tasso, you’ll reach the Villa Comunale and the Cloister of San Francesco d’Assisi.

This stunning 14th-century cloister, nestled beside the San Francesco Church and the Villa Comunale, boasts an extraordinary architectural charm.

From the terrace, take in one last breathtaking view of Sorrento and thank this town for all it has given you. 

It’s time to return. Take the elevator down to the port and board the ferry back.

As you watch Sorrento fade into the distance, the melody of "Torna a Surriento" will echo in your mind, now you truly understand why this land awakens such love and passion.
