Location
The view of the gulf of Naples is an exclusive privilege for Villa La Tore guests, on the hills of Sorrento, near Capri, Ischia, Positano and Amalfi, the gems of the Tyrrhenian sea. An ideal home base for trips to Vesuvius, the excavations in Pompeii and the city of Naples, all within a one-hour car ride.
Sorrento. Its coast reflects on the gulf of Naples to provide breathtaking panoramas; suspended between the blue sea and dominating green hills, Sorrento is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Campania and Southern Italy, elected by the Roman nobles as their vacation spot due to its beauty and favorite city of poets and authors like Goethe, D'Annunzio and Stendhal. The city center still preserves the ancient Greek and Roman structures and noble estates in Catalan style; its small walking streets will captivate you with the festive market atmosphere and Sant'Antonio basilica, embellished with the astounding works of the Sorrento marquetry masters. Don't forget to visit the fourteenth century San Francesco cloisters and try the local liquor: limoncello.
