Sorrento, perched on a stunning cliff overlooking the Bay of Naples, is a jewel of southern Italy with a history dating back thousands of years. Its origins trace back to ancient Greek settlers, later succeeded by the Romans. Known in antiquity as “Surrentum,” the town was celebrated for its strategic location and for producing fine wine and olive oil.

During the Roman Empire, Sorrento became a favorite retreat for noble families who built magnificent villas along the coast. Through the centuries, the Byzantines, Normans, and Aragonese each left their cultural and architectural imprint, giving Sorrento its unique blend of history and charm. In the 19th century, it became an essential destination on the Grand Tour, inspiring poets, writers, and artists from all over Europe.
