Capri
To visit Capri is to loose yourself in the mix of beauty that alternates between the land and the sea, that every year fascinates millions of visitors from all over the world.
Pompeii Herculaneum
After an abundant breakfast at our Hotel, you will be ready to jump into the history of two of the most famous archeological sites in the world.
Naples
The fame of this city is lost in the centuries, from 600BC until today. Cumans, Greeks, Romans, Goths and Byzantines, Normans and Agevins, Spanish, Austrians and French.
Amalfi Coast
From Sorrento Train Station, (one of the two stops of our free shuttle service in the morning) run the blue SITA buses to Amalfi Coast.
Mont Vesuvius
“The mountain of good wine and lush forests full of wild boar”. This was Vesuvius for the inhabitants of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabia and Oplontis… at least until the tragic 24August of 79AD.
Ischia and Procida
From Sorrento Port only leaves the hydrofoils to Ischia (that run less frequently than those one to Capri). For Procida you've to reach Napoli Port first. We suggest to visit both Islands with a great Minicruise.
Campi Flegrei - Solfatara
"Flegraios" in Greek means blazing, this already points out the main feature of that vaste plain territory which spreds from the river Sebeto, north of Neaples, up to Cuma.
Reggia di Caserta and San Leucio
Caserta hosts the famous Reggia di Caserta (Royal Palace of Caserta). Known also as “the Versailles of Naples”, it was constructed by the Bourbons in the 17th century.
Paestum
Paestum was founded in the seventh century by the Greeks with the ancient name of Poseidonia. This site was known above all for its large Doric temples, which have made it one of the most famous archeological sites of Campania.
