Sorrento, Italy is great! Very cute, very walkable, and --of course-- wonderful food!

Sorrento's churches

Walking through Sorrento, small churches seemed to pop up randomly, set between stores and on small alleys. Walking inside the doorways, the churches held such beauty and history:

The plastic chairs just don't seem to fit in this space but I love it:

Boards throughout Sorrento can be found outside churches,

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:

Mom did a wonderful job of putting together an itinerary for our travels in Italy over the Christmas holiday. Sorrento is a cute town with a ton of history! The views were spectacular... and it is in an easy location for day-trips to the Amalfi Coast's towns, Pompeii, and Naples.

Sorrento was beautifully decorated for Christmas:
