Sorrento. The delightful romantic.

There are places in the world that, when mentioned, ignite powerful emotions. Sorrento is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, immortalized by the De Curtis brothers in the famous song we all occasionally hum, "Torna a Surriento, nun me lassà!"

Summer has arrived; the sun, the sea, the light, the wind are what we were all waiting for the most. Few places in the world express romance and beauty like Sorrento. There are places where time has stopped, enchanted between the blue of the sky and the baroque charm of the streets. Via San Cesareo and the Vallone dei Mulini are alive with vitality and scents wafting from ancient shops. Chatters and shouts invite tourists to see, smell, and savor all the delights of this paradise perched on the rock. At the end, Capo Sorrento, where the sun sets, leaving you incredulous, ecstatic, silent, and moved.

In Sorrento, the sea breeze brings saltiness and the taste of the water, filling the narrow alleys, small seaside squares, sudden climbs, Moorish domes, and bell towers with its scent. The people of Sorrento are born to welcome, to share. Here, Neapolitan comedy becomes everyday life, simple and supported by the values of the sea.

Sorrento, the delightful, rich in flavors and scents that few other villages along the coast can express. Hidden treasures find their identity among seaside taverns and small restaurants overlooking the sea. Summer is well worth a visit to this pearl of the coast. Between Marina Grande and Marina Piccola are plants and flowers of vibrant, indescribable colors, shiny and intensely fragrant. A scent blending with salt and the Mediterranean scrub.

Sorrento is a cradle of flavors, of ancient cuisine, simple yet succulent. The deep red of the tomato, from the Corbarino of the coast to the iconic San Marzano of Neapolitan production, to the luxurious Piennolo of Vesuvius, Pulcinella's tomato cherished by the great Totò. The white of the Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, with its thick crust and creamy milk dripping in streams. The green of the basil from the sea... the three main ingredients of a typical Neapolitan pizza enriched here in Sorrento with the flavors of the sea. The wine of the coast, rich, ancient, fragrant, and as intriguing as few others. Mostly white, but also red and rosé. Old vines nestled between the rocks in bush form for a heroic, almost unreachable harvest. Sorrento holds so much in such little space; nature has concentrated the miracle of beauty here. The miracle of Italy.
