Sorrento Neighborhoods: Where to Stay
Sorrento is the sensible, sophisticated gateway to the Amalfi Coast. It's better connected than the cliff villages, has more hotel options at every price point, and offers the same lemon-scented Mediterranean magic.
Centro Storico
#1 PickHistoric center with narrow shopping lanes and Piazza Tasso.
Local Insight
"Escape the main drag of Corso Italia and wander the side streets near Via San Cesareo. The artisan limoncello shops here offer tastings and far better quality than the tourist bottles."
Top Hotels
Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, Imperial Hotel Tramontano, Hotel Plaza
Marina Grande
#2 PickAuthentic fishing village around the bay from the main port.
Local Insight
"Marina Grande has Sorrento's best seafood restaurants. Trattoria da Emilia is the classic—plastic chairs, paper tablecloths, and spaghetti alle vongole that tastes of the sea."
Top Hotels
Hotel Belair, Maison La Minervetta, Grand Hotel Riviera
Sant'Agnello
#3 PickQuieter, more residential area between Sorrento and Piano di Sorrento.
Local Insight
"The cliff walk from Sant'Agnello into Sorrento is one of the coast's loveliest strolls—especially at golden hour when the Bay of Naples glows."
Top Hotels
Grand Hotel Cocumella, Hotel Corallo, Villa Garden Hotel
