Espresso on the Gulf

A fifth-floor apartment with a balcony that catches the sea on the horizon – the kind of spot that earns its keep over a morning coffee or a sundowner. Inside, air conditioning keeps warm Campanian summers at bay, and the kitchen makes self-catered evenings easy after a long day out. The location does real work here: Marina Grande is a fourteen-minute walk, the train station is 400 m away, and from there Pompeii, Naples, and the Amalfi Coast are all within reach – making this a practical, well-placed base for the whole region.

Home truths:
* You're on the fifth floor, so you'll be relying on the building's lift to come and go – worth bearing in mind if you have mobility considerations or heavy luggage.
* There's one bathroom shared between all six guests here, so coordinating morning routines may take a little planning if you're travelling as a full group.
* There's no private parking here. A paid public car park is available nearby, so if you're driving to Sorrento we recommend factoring that into your plans – or consider arriving by train, which is just a short walk away.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* This home is near a railway, so expect to hear some noise from passing trains.
