Sorrento, pools facing Capri

Sorrento villas with a private pool

Because the coast around Sorrento is mostly cliff, a private pool is often the most comfortable way to swim here. The peninsula also has more level ground than the Amalfi side, so pools can be generous in size and set among olive groves and lawns rather than squeezed onto terraces. Choose one facing Capri if evening swims matter to you.

The houses below include a 22 m pool above Sant'Agata, facing Vesuvius, with a tennis court alongside. In Massa Lubrense, an infinity pool faces Capri from a two hectare garden of olive and lemon trees. Above Sorrento, a heated pool and Jacuzzi share a sea view terrace over the gulf, and near Nerano an infinity pool sits among four terraces, with a hammock under an olive tree for the hours in between.

Which gulf?

The peninsula divides two gulfs: Naples to the north, with Vesuvius, and Salerno to the south, towards the Amalfi Coast. Each gives a pool a different outlook.

Heated when it counts

In May, early June and October a heated pool makes a real difference. Heating may be charged separately; we confirm this before you book.

Lunch beside the water

Pools here often sit beside pergolas or olive trees. Ask about outdoor kitchens and shaded dining, which shape the rhythm of summer days.
