Sorrento, late summer

September in Sorrento, in a villa above the sea

September is when many who know the peninsula choose to come. The sea holds the warmth of the whole summer, often warmer than in June, while the crowds of August have gone home. Vines are harvested on the hillsides, walnuts ripen in the orchards, and by early October the light takes on a softer, golden tone over the Gulf of Naples.

The villas below suit this slower season. Above Sorrento, 12 en suite bedrooms look over the gulf and Vesuvius from a sea view terrace, with a heated pool for cooler evenings. Near Nerano, an infinity pool and four terraces sit above the bay, and above Termini a path leads down to a pebble cove facing Capri. Below Marina del Cantone, a private funicular to a small pebble beach makes sea days effortless.

The sea at its warmest

After a full summer of sun, the water in September is often warmer than in June, and swimming stays pleasant into early October.

Harvest on the hills

Grapes are picked in September, with walnuts and chestnuts to follow. Local tables turn towards porcini, new wine and the first autumn dishes.

More flexible stays

Late season often brings more flexibility, and some owners accept stays shorter than a week, especially from the middle of September.

Questions before you choose

Is it still beach weather in September?

Yes. Days are usually warm and sunny, and the sea is at its most comfortable. By October, mornings and evenings cool and rain is more likely, though many days are still bright.

Will the pool still be open?

Villa pools usually stay open until October. Heated pools extend the swimming season further, and we can confirm heating for your dates when you enquire.

How far ahead should we book for September?

It remains popular, particularly the first half of the month. Enquire early about up to five villas at once, and we reply within one working day with availability and price.
