more lovely views from Il Nido, Sorrento

Still enjoying the views from our hotel in Sorrento - Il Nido! Taking it all to begin our last day... before heading back to Milano. (Still ahead before we leave? --> a dive along the Amalfi Coast!!)


Balcony view of the sea and Sorrento

view of Sorrento, Italy from Il Nido

Il Nido, our hotel, was great! It had amazing views of the sea, Sorrento, and Mount Vesuvius. Our adjoining rooms each had a balcony and the buffet breakfast was great... including delicious brioches and freshly squeezed orange juice!

Below are a few pictures taken from our room's balcony:


Another view from our balcony:

Mount Vesuvius - the volcano that destroyed Pompeii and its people:

And a night-view of Sorrento's coast while walking around the town our first evening:

arriving in Sorrento, Italy!

Driving into Sorrento was gooooorgeous. The blue-sky day helped... but so did the views along the windy road along the side of the hills!


We hit a ton of traffic along the main road in Sorrento.
...Thankfully, we were still able to return the car on time!

Tons of holiday decorations:

Hotel Il Nido was a 10-minute ride up a winding steep road... up, up, and up!
We had two adjoining rooms, each with a balcony.
...Nice find Mom! Great views of Sorrento, the sea, and even Mount Vesuvius.
