Sant`Agnello di Sorrento is located between Piano di Sorrento and Sorrento itself, overlooking the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno. It's a quieter alternative to staying in the center of Sorrento. Restaurants and bars can be found around Piazza Sant`Agnello and near the coast, offering beautiful views. Near the cliff top is a Capuchin church and monastery (1586). Views from Sant`Agnello's cliffs are as dramatic as those from Sorrento and the beach (typical for the area) is reached by steep steps or an escalator.
The Neapolitan Riviera is one of Italy`s most popular vacation destinations. Its coastline curves around the sun-soaked bays of Sorrento and Naples on Italy`s southwest coast. Inland you`ll find ancient ruins like Pompeii and natural wonders like Mount Vesuvius.
Its crescent-shape cuddles some true natural masterpieces; famous Capri, the spa haven of Ischia, and the tiny village like Procida. They offer a landscape of rare beauty molded by the wind, the sea and man.
Declared one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites for its undisputed beauty and the uniqueness of its natural landscape. Typical houses, painted in warm pastel colors, follow the natural slope of the foothills of Mounts Lattari, leaning against each other, creating a very picturesque landscape.
