About Sorrento
The stay
A fully catered stay in Sorrento
The Sorrento peninsula is the practical heart of the region: close to Naples, on the water, and a short boat ride from Capri and the Amalfi Coast. A villa here is a base from which the whole gulf opens up
Days can be as full or as quiet as you choose. A morning at Pompeii with a private guide, a boat to Capri for lunch, an afternoon by the pool, and dinner at home, cooked by our chef with produce from the peninsula's farms and the gulf's fishermen
Our butler and house manager handle the house. Simone handles everything around it, from boat times to restaurant tables
Residences on the peninsula range from historic villas with citrus gardens to contemporary houses on the cliffs. Each one we propose is visited by our team, and checked and prepared before you arrive, so the stay starts the moment you walk in
Best months
April to October. May, June and September offer the best balance of warmth and calm. July and August are busy and best booked early

Questions
- What is included in a fully catered stay?
- A private chef and butler in residence, daily housekeeping and a house manager, with Simone as your single point of contact. Food and beverage is bought against an agreed provisioning allowance and documented receipt by receipt in Sisma OS
- How do we receive a proposal?
- Tell us your dates, guests and budget. Simone replies within 24 hours and, after a short call, your written proposal follows within 24 hours: residence, team and inclusions, all in writing
- Are prices published?
- No. Every stay is different, so every proposal is prepared for you and shared privately
