Twenty-three kilometres of coastline with endless vineyards, citrus groves, breathtaking views and spectacular panoramas: from Castellammare di Stabia to Sant'Agata on the two bays, passing through Vico Equense with its spas, Piano, a natural terrace of tuffaceous rock, Meta, with the largest beaches, and finally Sorrento, the most famous resort of the Sorrento Coast.
It has made its mark on illustrious visitors ever since the 17th century. Then it was the Grand Tour which brought young noblemen, intellectuals and artists from Northern Europe to Italy and these parts. Many centuries previously, the balmy climate and enchanting landscape had conquered the Romans, who built sumptuous villas along this coast in the Augustan age.
And today, as Lucio Dalla recalls in "Caruso" (the song he composed in Sorrento to commemorate the world-famous tenor), this is still the place "where the sea glistens and the wind blows fiercely".
