Basilica di Sant'Antonino, Sorrento

Advantages: Beautiful views, beautiful Hotel.
Disadvantages: 15 mins distance from center of Sorrento

...This Hotel is great! I stayed here a couple of years ago. The Hotel is in Sant'Agnello which is about 15 mins walk from Sorrento (Piazza Tasso) and there is a local bus service if you don't feel like walking. The Hotel is very clean, and the staff are friendly and very organised. The pool is also very nice and the dining room is fabulous with a view of the Bay of Naples. Very near to the Hotel there is a small beach, some local shops and a couple of restaurants too. It is better to go into Sorrento for bars in the evening although there are a couple of small bars in Sant'Agnello on the main street which is called Corso Italia (about 5 mins walk from the Hotel) On the main street there is a more frequent bus service into Sorrento (buses every 20 mins). Good value for money.... Read review

The hotels closer to the sea seem the quietest, and the views over the 2 marinas are stunning by day and night. On my next visit I will be trying for a hotel on the Via Capo, overlooking Marina Grande, where I won’t be wakened by traffic fumes every morning. OUT AND ABOUT If architecture and history is of interest to you, Sorrento leaves you spoiled for choice. Being a catholic country, it has many old churches, most notable of which is a 15th century cathedral. There is also the Basilica of St. Antonino, which has it’s origins in the 11th century. If that isn’t early enough for you, part of the original walls of the town, a Greek defensive wall, which predates... Read review

...Ravenna is a little town (only 135.000 inhabitants) in Northern Italy (I must say it's my hometown) by the Adriatic sea and it's famous all over the world for its mosaics (it's been capital of Western Roman Empire) and in any period of the year is possible to see comitives of tourists from every part of the world that beyond to the pleasure of visiting several basilicas (first of all San Vitale, but also 2 Sant'Apollinare ones, "New" in Via Roma and the other,maybe the most beautiful, in Classe 8 kms from Ravenna), the mausoleum of Teodorico and Galla Placidia does not scorn also one beautiful visit to the shops of the center. Unfortunately you can't enter in the center of Ravenna by car, you must park outside (and maybe the parkings are not enough) and then use a rentable bike or by feet to visit it. The center of Ravenna... Read review
