Sorrento for an holiday between sea and sky

Sorrento: a small piece of land surrounded by green hills. The blue sea that fades in the horizon of the Gulf of Naples, dominated by the imposing silhouette of the Mount Vesuvius.

The high and rugged coastline hosts a lively but at the same time quiet city, marked by the rhythms of a normal small town. Sorrento lies and seems to be rocked on its tuff, on which stand the colored houses, which in the historical center follow the ordered track of Greek origins, which is then lost in the hills, like a string of wool escaped from a ball.
