La Terrazza sul Porto 1 is situated in Marina Piccola, where the Sorrento harbour is found. Here, you’ll find ferries and hydrofoils running to all the other popular destinations in the Gulf of Naples, such as Naples, Capri, Positano, Amalfi or Ischia. Even before construction of the harbour began in 1912, this was already the preferred place to dock because of its proximity to the town centre.

Less than 30 metres from the apartment, you’ll find the seaside resorts of Sorrento. Since the sandy strip of beach is very small, a variety of establishments stretch along the seafront on stilts, giving them their unique appearance. The coast’s north-facing exposure and cool waters make the summer heat much more bearable.

On this side of Marina Piccola, a ramp, carved out of the tuff rock, leads up to the viewpoint at Villa Communale. This is one of the few sections of the Sorrento coast that can be freely visited and boasts a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Naples. These gardens originally formed part of the Convent of Saint Francis and is where the monks kept their orchards and vegetable gardens.

On the ground floor of the building where La Terrazza sul Porto 1 is located, you’ll find some great bars and restaurants.

The centre of Sorrento and Piazza Tasso, where you’ll find shops, bars and restaurants, is just a 10-minute walk from the apartment. There is also a local bus stop close to the apartment which can get you to Piazza Tasso in less than two minutes. The public lift which connects the centre of Sorrento to the wonderful harbour at Marina Piccola is just a few metres away.

The train and bus stations are about 1 km from the apartment, with services running to Pompeii, Naples, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello.

The closest airport is Naples Capodichino, which is about 40 minutes away by car.
