Stunning Sorrento is one of Italy's most popular resorts and has long been revered as the quintessence of romance. Its location, on one of the most beautiful stretches of Italian coastline, has inspired poets and painters for centuries, and with a fairy tale charm it is easy to see why.
The chic resort is perched atop wild rugged cliffs that plunge into a sparkling deep blue sea as the dreamy scent of citrus trees and wild flowers hangs in the air. From one of the many hotel and restaurant terraces, marvel at the breathtaking view over the Bay of Naples as well as an amazing view of Mount Vesuvius on a clear day.
The town has ancient origins and an attractive historic centre, but today Sorrento is essentially a modern resort that makes a bustling base for exploring some of Italy's finest sights: Pompeii, Naples and Herculaneum.
Luxurious Capri
Take a day trip to the beautiful island of Capri and stroll arm in arm along cobbled streets gazing at the beautiful jewellery shops and chic locals. Whilst there, head out on a boat ride to Capri's famous Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto) named after its dazzling coloured waters.
Spa indulgence
Spoil yourselves and have an indulgent face or body treatment at La Serra, the holistic centre at the five-star Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria. It's located in the hotel's garden and includes double treatment suites for couples.
Romantic stroll
Sorrento itself has narrow little streets that open out on piazzas laced with cafes and lovely boutiques – perfect for a romantic afternoon exploration.
Photogenic Positano
Head to Positano; the Amalfi Coast's most expensive and photogenic town. With pretty, terracotta houses clinging to the steep rock face, artisans’ shops and great seafood restaurants, you have the perfect setting for seduction.
Ravishing Ravello
Another day romantic day trip option is enjoying the spine-tingling drive up the Valle del Dragone to the polished town of Ravello. Known for its stunning gardens, lemon orchards and stupendous views over the azure Mediterranean, the town offers a dreamy setting.
