So much to see
My husband and I stayed in the Carlton Hotel in Sorrento in March. Sorrento is an excellent place to visit with so much to see and do. The Amalfi coast has breathtaking scenery and, of course, Pompeii and Herculaneum are fascinating.
Most of all we enjoyed wandering around the small alleyways where there was a multitude of tiny shops selling exquisite porcelain and marquetry, or we would just sit in the square people-watching. The Italians know how to dress-up and, at times, it proved quite entertaining watching them over a cup of delicious cappuccino and tiramisu cake.
There are two small harbours which have some fine fish restaurants and, of course, from one of them you can catch the ferry to the island of Capri or to Naples. Capri is excellent for shopping and the lift chair ride to the highest point on Capri was relaxing and enabled us to see the magnificent views.
We thoroughly recommend this place to anyone - however, one thing to beware of is the mopeds. Go early season and you won't be disappointed.
