Your Itinerary

Piazza della Vittoria

In Piazza della Vittoria you will sublimate yourself in the magic of the myth of the Land of the Sirens, in the enchantment of one of the most beautiful breathtaking panoramas in the world and we will meet Homer, Virgil, the French writer Yourcenar and the American writer Harriet Beecher Stowe and the illustrious great poet Torquato Tasso, a native of Sorrento. We will go to the Belle vue Sirene hotel where we will admire from above the ruins of the Roman Villa of Agrippa Postumo, nephew of Augustus and the two nymphaeums. I will show you a breathtaking panorama and let you imagine the Roman fish pond in a sea with crystal clear waters.

Marina Grande - Antico Borgo Marinaro

At the Borgo di Marina Grande where we will arrive after a 10-minute walk on foot, we will admire the characteristics of this place, the fishermen's nets and the typical Sorrentine goiter. We will stop to admire the balcony where the actress Sofia Loren leaned out in the famous film "Pane, amore e...." with Vittorio De Sica. We will take a ride on the pier and we will sublime in front of Vesuvius and the beauty of the Gulf of Naples.

Casa Di Cornelia Tasso

From the Borgo di Marina Grande we will walk along Via Padre Reginaldo Giuliani and stop at the "Donna Sofia" restaurant, a characteristic place, a cult of chef Mario's Sorrento cuisine, where you can admire dozens of photographs of Sofia Loren. We will reach our destination, the house of Cornelia Tasso, the sixteenth-century palace where the sister of the great Sorrento writer Torquato Tasso lived which we will admire from the outside as the internal fresco that decorates the vault was destroyed by fire.

Sedile Dominova

From Cornelia Tasso's house in two minutes we will go to the historic center among its craft shops, we will visit the Sedil Dominova and if you want we will go to the Museo della Tarsia Lignea, one of the two Sorrento museum jewels, reported by English tour operators among the top ten museums of Campania. Here we will admire the collection of Sorrentine inlays from the 19th century as well as a section dedicated to the works, vases and paintings that commemorate our great poet Torquato Tasso. ENTRANCE IS OPTIONAL AND MUST BE INDICATED AT THE TIME OF BOOKING. THE COST OF THE TICKET FOR ADULTS IS EURO 8.00.

Admission Not Included

Imperial Hotel Tramontano

From the MUTA we will return to Via Vittorio Veneto where we will make a stop both outside and inside the majestic Hotel Tramontano where the best known names of the royal houses have stayed, as well as painters and writers of the Grand Tour: from Henrik Ibsen to the French writer Marguerite Yourcenar . This majestic hotel was the place of inspiration for the de Curtis brothers of the well-known song "Torna a Surriento", of which we will tell the genesis and the anecdote. Inside we will admire the place where the great poet Torquato Tasso was born and his garden with secular trees.

Chiostro di San Francesco

In this enchanting fourteenth-century cloister, a place where civil weddings are celebrated and which hosts classical music concerts in the summer, we will admire the beauty of its colonnade and its intimacy under a weeping willow. Silence reigns in this place where the Franciscan monks live isolated from the Sorrentine worldly life intent on prayer and in the creation of the Neapolitan nativity scene.

Villa Comunale

From the Cloister we will pass through the Villa Comunale dedicated to our Sorrentine composer Salve d'Esposito, known for the famous song "Anema e core". Here you will have time to admire and photograph a breathtaking panorama that ranges from the island of Ischia to the Punta del Capo di Sorrento, Vesuvius and the entire Gulf of Naples.

A really fascinating tour. We discovered so much about Sorrento in the past and present, and heard stories about many important creative people who have been inspired by Sorrento. We explored all the interesting and beautiful places - including some special places that are not usually possible to see. Silvana is very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! The tour lasted about 3 hours - and every minute was entertaining, including stops for gellati and limoncello. Best way to spend a morning in Sorrento!
