Your Guide to Sorrento Luxury Villa Rentals

With its beautiful coastline, narrow streets, and lovely architecture, Sorrento is considered one of the most popular and beautiful destinations on the Amalfi Coast - even if it's technically part of the Sorrento Peninsula, on the opposite side of the Bay of Naples.

Luxury Sorrento villas, in particular, have been popular since Roman times, when they were constructed by patricians to enjoy the fabulous landscapes and beautiful climate that the city is known for. From the Middle Ages onwards, Sorrento attracted nobility from across Europe and, later, the world to build their own vacation villas, including writers, intellectuals, and poets like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Lord Byron, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Today, many of the best Sorrento vacation rentals can be found by the coastline, on rocky cliffs that overlook a mesmerizing sea, for the perfect holiday experience. They stand out as amongst the most luxurious villas near or along the Amalfi Coast. And they offer the perfect luxury and privacy, especially when compared to a hotel.

Reserving a villa in Sorrento is easy with Rental Escapes. Just let your villa specialist know your approximate travel dates and party size, and they'll present you with the best available options for your group. Once booked, your concierge can help with every detail - airport transfers, car rentals, boat charters, restaurant reservations, private chef service, and so much more, including any special requests you may have for your stay in Sorrento.

Luxury Villas in Sorrento

Thanks to its location and the availability of ferries and boat charters, a luxury villa in Sorrento makes for a perfect base to explore the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, especially if you're traveling in the warmer months and want to relax in a private garden or other outdoor spaces on the coastline.

Unlike holiday rentals like hotels, luxury Sorrento and Amalfi Coast villa rentals are unique, private, and perfectly located. All of our Sorrento villas are independently owned, and they've often been passed down across generations, evident in everything from the décor to the façade to the intricate gardens. Bathed in Italian culture dating back centuries, these villas really let you immerse yourself in the essence of Sorrento.

While many of our villas are located in the heart of Sorrento itself, some are located by the cliffs a few minutes outside of town, giving you a number of options for privacy and convenience. Options include large historic villas, more intimate villas that are perfect for smaller groups, and, of course, villas with spas and beautiful private and heated pools to soak up the Sorrento sun.

When's the Best Time to Visit Sorrento?

Peak season in Sorrento is from June to August. The weather and water are warmest at this time of year, and the beaches are full of action, though crowds and prices are also at their highest.

That's why many prefer traveling during the shoulder season, especially in late spring and early fall. The weather's still beautiful, and restaurants and attractions are open, but there are fewer crowds. This is also a great time to get a good deal on a Sorrento villa.

Winter is decidedly low season, and some attractions may be closed. If you want to get a taste of what Sorrento is like for a local, this is a good time to go, though any activity on the water will be limited.

Best Things to Do in Sorrento?

Visit the historic center: The center of Sorrento is filled with colorful casa buildings, narrow streets, and bustling piazzas. Take your time and enjoy, and make sure to stop inside the 15th-century Cathedral of Sorrento to appreciate its stunning Baroque frescos. You can also visit the Vallone dei Mulini - a valley of tranquil beauty where you can revel in the sights of ivy-covered ruins set against a backdrop of towering cliffs.

Charter a boat and explore the coast: There's no better way to appreciate the Amalfi Coast than by boat, especially when you have a private boat charter. Often departing from the Marina Grande -- a charming fishing village worth a visit in its own right -- Sorrento boat charters come in all shapes and sizes, from adventurous sailing excursions to luxurious yacht trips, and offer exquisite views of one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere.

Visit Capri: Thanks to its convenient location, Sorrento makes a great base from which to explore the Amalfi Coast. One destination that works especially well for a day trip is Capri since it's just 20-30 minutes by boat (including ferries). From the clear blue waters, capped off by the stunning Blue Grotto, to the beautiful gardens, including the Gardens of Augustus, Capri is brimming with beauty.

How's the Food in Sorrento?

Sorrento cuisine places a big emphasis on fresh, local ingredients, prepared using traditional techniques. As you might expect, dishes tend to feature lots of fresh seafood, as well as local vegetables, herbs, and, of course, olive oil.

Local specialties include spaghetti alla Nerano, a pasta dish made with zucchini and cheese; seafood risotto; grilled octopus; and Neapolitan pizza, with a thin crust and a wide variety of toppings.

For dessert, be sure to try the gelato or the cannoli, along with some of the region's famous limoncello liqueur. Ask your Rental Escapes concierge about villa pre-stocking and private chef service so you can be sure your favorites are ready anytime.
