Villas within walking distance of Sorrento
Sorrento rewards the guest who leaves the car behind. The town sits on a tufa cliff above the Bay of Naples, and from Piazza Tasso the lanes of the old centre, the lemon shops and the steps down to Marina Grande are all a short stroll apart. Staying within about 1.5 km means dinner in town and a walk home under the stars, with no parking to negotiate.
The villas below are chosen for that ease, and the peninsula around them sets a high standard for what a house can offer: an estate built in 1769 between the square and the harbour of Massa Lubrense, with two wings, two pools and orange groves; suites facing Capri; a rooftop terrace reached by a spiral stair. Ask us about the walk from any of them.

Boats leave the port below town for Capri and Naples and, in the warmer months, for Positano and Amalfi: a day on the water begins on foot.
The Circumvesuviana runs from Sorrento station along the bay to Pompeii and Herculaneum, making the ruins an easy morning without a driver.
Around dusk Corso Italia fills with families walking arm in arm. Join them, then stop for a limoncello made from the peninsula's own lemons.

Questions before you choose
How far is the walk to the centre?
Every villa on this page lies within about 1.5 km of the centre. Sorrento is built on a cliff, so some routes include steps or a gentle climb; we are happy to describe the exact route for any house.
How do we get to Sorrento from Naples airport?
A private transfer takes around an hour, traffic permitting. Alternatively, go into Naples and continue on the Circumvesuviana train or by hydrofoil from the port across the bay.
