Holidays to Piano di Sorrento offer bundles of natural beauty, cultural must-sees and an unmistakably Italian vibe.

The jewel of South Italy

Along Italy's south-west coast, Piano di Sorrento's a locale worthy of the silver screen. From the rich red stone of St Anthony's Basilica to the glittering blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea, it's hard not to fall in love with this colourful gem in Campania's crown.

Old meets new

This sweet spot's the perfect place to sip espresso in a little cobbled square. If Hollywood's your bag, there's good news – the boutiques of star-studded Capri are a 30-minute ferry ride away. You might even catch a glimpse of a famous face over your gelato cone.

Sorrento-style days

There's plenty of charm in nearby Sorrento, too, just a 15-minute drive away – think locally made limoncello, fresh seafood and paddles in clear water around the Bay of Naples. Once you've had your fill of shellfish or dried off after a dip in the sea, scout out a sunlounger on the black volcanic beach.

Charismatic Campania

Work off your wanderlust by using this spot as a base to explore Italy further. Pompeii's just over an hour away by train, or you can book a guided day tour by bus so you don't miss any of the top sights.
