A splendid and famous holiday resort, Sorrento stands on a terrace rising steeply above the sea on one of the most spectacular points of the Campanian coast. Because of its enchanting position and mild climate, sheltered by the surrounding hills, Sorrento has been a favourite resort since ancient Roman times, (the emperors Agrippa, Augustus and Antonius all had villas here) and it became an elite tourist resort from the 18th century, its hotels welcoming such personalities as Ibsen, Wagner and Nietzche.
