We have an amazing selection of villas!
Glamorous, refined and steeped in beauty – it’s hard to choose the right adjective to describe the Amalfi Coast. The stunning 50-kilometre stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, in the Campania region, is legendary and has long inspired artists, writers, and musicians such as Richard Wagner. And it’s little wonder why: here, village-strewn cliffs slope down into the sea creating a dramatic union of land, sea and sky. Alongside, you’ll find luxury villas in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast where you can spend an unforgettable holiday with family or friends.
The famous coastline runs from Punta Campanella to Salerno and includes the picturesque hilltop towns of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. It is home to Italy’s finest hotels and restaurants, all perched along a beautiful coast of rugged cliffs and sandy coves. Brave the winding coastal roads and discover the hidden treasures of the terraced towns and pastel-coloured fishing villages along the way. It truly is one of Italy’s most romantic and scenic destinations, promising an enchanting escape any time of year!
The best time to enjoy Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast is between May and October, especially if you want to swim in the sparkling waters or enjoy villas in Sorrento with a private pool. April and May offer warm weather and clear skies with fewer crowds, ideal for exploring the vibrant coast.
If you’re looking for heat, Sorrento has that, especially in June through to September. Shops and clubs stay open until late in the evening and there’s a buzz in the air from all the tourists. If you prefer a quieter escape, October to December are perfect, although the temperatures dip to about 8 or 9°C. Looking for a budget option? February and March are your best bets, with somewhat cold and wet days, but still with cafes open and quiet trips to take.
Every year about 5 million people crowd onto the Amalfi coast to experience its UNESCO world heritage landscape and culture, sample its mouth-watering cuisine and walk in the footsteps of celebrities past and present.
Travellers can enjoy coastal drives with panoramic views and make stops at popular towns like Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello, each with its own unique charm. These towns offer endless activities, from shopping in boutique stores to dining on fresh, local seafood. Beach lovers can unwind along hidden sandy coves or venture to popular beaches like Marina Grande in Sorrento.
In Sorrento, stroll the historic streets or enjoy a scenic ferry ride to the Isle of Capri.

One of the most iconic foods in Sorrento is gnocchi alla Sorrentina, a comforting dish of potato gnocci baked with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil. Sorrento is also renowned for its limoncello, a lemon liqueur made from the region’s fragrant lemons, often enjoyed as a digestif. Seafood dishes, like spaghetti with clams, are also popular, along with fresh buffalo mozzarella and olive oil, all a huge part of Sorrento’s celebrated culinary scene.
Three to four days in Sorrento is typically enough to explore the town, savour its cuisine, and visit nearby attractions. This timeframe allows for a leisurely exploration of the Amalfi Coast, a day trip to Capri, and visits to historic sites like Pompeii and Herculaneum. Staying longer, however, can provide a more relaxed pace and the opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the local culture.
While Sorrento is often associated with the Amalfi Coast due to its proximity, it is technically not part of it. Sorrento is located on the Sorrentine Peninsula, facing the Bay of Naples, just north of the Amalfi Coast. However, it serves as a popular base for exploring both the Amalfi Coast and the surrounding regions like Capri and Naples.
