Villa Comunale Park is an absolute must for any visit to Sorrento and its central position is such that you're unlikely to miss it.
Located in the town centre, this small park offers beautifully-manicured gardens and one of the best views in southern Italy.
From the park's terrace you can gaze out on to the Gulf of Naples with its landmarks on the horizon such as the islands of Ischia and Procida with the imperious Mount Vesuvius looming in the background.
