A Sorrento Wedding will allow you to enjoy one of the best known resorts in Italy, situated on a tract of coastline of unrivalled beauty, on the northern slope of the Sorrentine Peninsula, in a sheltered spot, surrounded by luxuriant hills where vines, olives and above all high quality citrus fruits are grown. The site of patrician villas during Roman times, it has been a highly prestigious retreat since 700.
The origin of the its name Surrentum is poetically dated back to the Sirens who, legend has it, lived in the rocks of the gulf, from where they tried in vain to ensnare Ulysses and the sailors with their deadly song.
The charming town is nestled on a tufaceous terrace, 50 meters high, which falls steeply down to a blue, crystalline sea. The city does not have a promenade, but looks down, like a balcony, over the port and two Marinas, with unexpectedly charming views. Access to the sea is gained mostly via stairs, passageways carved into the rock and lifts.
Civil weddings can be performed in the charming Town Hall or in the wonderful cloister of the church of St. Francesco, with interlaced arches in the Arab style. A spectacular venue with great acoustic, in fact classical music concerts are usually held there.
For 2000 years already visitors from all over the world have been attracted to Sorrento by breathtaking sunsets and fragrances of orange and lemon gardens. You too will be bewitched by your Sorrento Wedding.
