Sleeping up to 8 people, the house is modern and luxurious, whilst maintaining the beachy, bohemian charm of Marina Grande.
Summertime Treats in Sorrento:
Food in Southern Italy is never bad, but summer means fresh fruit, ripe vegetables, and the most delicious indulgence of all – granita and gelato aplenty.
On a hot summer day, try insalata caprese, a deliciously cool mix of sliced buffalo mozzarella and flavorful, vine-ripened tomatos, topped with sweet basil and often seasoned with olive oil. It’s simple, but the superb quality of ingredients makes it stand out. For a more filling meal, parmigiana di melanzane is a savory treat made by layering sliced eggplant with rich Parmesan cheese and a flavorful tomato sauce. It’s melty, cheesy, and truly mouthwatering. But what really takes the top spot for our favorite summertime classic is granita al limone. The sweet combination of ice, sugar, and Sorrento lemon juice is iconic and as close to perfect as food can get.
To help you try all of these treats and more, the Amore Rentals team can book you a Sorrento Dynamic Dinner, the most delicious walking tour you’ll ever go on! A local guide will lead you through Sorrento, combining breathtaking views with mouthwatering bites and local limoncello.
Getting On the Water:
There really is no way to beat the summertime heat like going for a boat ride or slipping into the ocean. Enjoy a boat tour to nearby Capri or along the Amalfi Coast, stopping to snorkel and explore the grottos tucked into cliffsides, with one of Amore Rentals’ many excursion partners. If boats aren’t your thing, explore the Sorrentine coastline with a kayaking tour, paddling to the beautiful Bagni di Regina Giovanna or watching the sun set over the waves!
