Overview
Sunny seaside days in Sorrento call for lazy walks, gelato in hand, and there's a park in the town centre that's absolutely perfect for it. Villa Communale is a terrace park with elevated views to Vesuvius, the Gulf of Napoli and the islands of Ischia and Procida.
Stroll through manicured gardens with palm trees, oaks, pines and colourful flower beds, with monuments and statues dotted throughout. Walk along sun-dappled cobblestone walkways and a tree-lined promenade on the terrace edge.
Grab an ice cream from La Villa Sorrento, or sit in for a scenic aperitif and snacks in the sun and watch the boats go by. Linger in the late afternoon and watch the sunset from a park bench, or come back later for a traditional passegiata. Keep an eye out for any arts and cultural events taking place here, especially in the summer months.
