🇮🇹🍋 Italy Recommendations - Sorrento & Amalfi Coast 🍋🇮🇹
I am just back from a short break in Sorrento we flew from Manchester with Jet2 and stayed 3 nights central in Sorrento.
This was just a flying visit but we made the most of the time we had there and I would recommend a short break however you could very easily stay a week or even longer! There is so much to do and see and it’s such a beautiful area 🇮🇹
🍝 Peninsula Experience Cooking Class - there’s so many different cooking classes available but we chose this one for its fun atmosphere! We made Eggplant Parmigiana, Gnocci & Tiramisu. It was about 20 mins from central Sorrento and they supply transport for an extra €10. This is a family ran experience visiting and cooking in there home with a beautiful sunset view! We paid €115
⛴️ Explore the Amalfi Coast & Islands by Ferry - we used the public ferry to visit Capri & Positano during our stay. We found this a great way to see these areas they were on time and we just booked our tickets the morning of however I do imagine in summer & peaks months you’ll want to prebook to get your desired times. There’s also so many boat trips available for what your looking for as well to visit these places.
🛍️ Capri Island was beautiful and has all your designer shops, lovely restaurants and beach clubs. We didn’t have the best of weather whilst we were there but explored around Capri Town & done a walk around the view points. It’s such a beautiful island. There is also a single seater chair lift that takes you from the centre of Anacapri up to Mount Salaro!
🍋 Positano - This was the only town we visited along the Amalfi coast due to time but it was stunning! We explored around the town and then had a beach day at L’Incanto which was lovely! It’s such a beautiful view from the beach looking at the town.
🇮🇹 Sorrento itself is such a lovely place and we thought it was the ideal base! Full of restaurants, bars & shops. There’s also Marina Grande which had lots of lovely seafood restaurants. You do have beach club areas in Sorrento as well but we never went to these due to time. Would recommend La Colonna Sunset Bar!
If we had longer we would have defiantly visited other towns along the Amalfi coast!
My hotel Recommendations
4* Conca Park Hotel - Just a short walk from Sorrento centre & Marina Grande. Great 4* option with a pool.
5* Ara Maris Hotel - We visited here and the hotel was so beautiful! In a fab location and great pool area.
There’s so many beautiful hotels in this area to suit different budgets & needs 🍋🇮🇹
