Hubby and myself are couple of seniors who will travel from Rome to Sorrento on May 2 ,2025, what are some of my travel choices ? And which accommodation would you suggest in Sorrento for 3-4 days?
Regarding the transport question, this is a good place to start:
Regarding accommodations, how much per night do you wish to spend?
Edited note about using a private driver: I'd only choose this option from Naples> Sorrento, not all the way from Rome. It would be very expensive for that distance. As well, if you are flying out of Rome after your stay in Sorrento, you'll want to stay IN Rome or closer to the airport the night before your flight, especially if the flight is mid-afternoon or before.
When we went to Sorrento from Rome, we took the fast train (ticket purchased a few months earlier) to Naples and then took the Circumvesuviana. Not sure what you are looking for and Its been quite a while, but we stayed at La Magnolia near the main square. Our rate included breakfast. We liked the location because its close to the bus/train station.
I would recommend any accommodation (booking.com) that fits your budget that is still available. This is late to be booking for May on the Sorrento/AC Coast. There is no shoulder season post-Covid. It will be very crowded already.
We used Aldo Limos for private transportation. The public transportation modes south of Naples have been sadly neglected and are uncomfortable.
After Knowing the realities on the ground, and planning for them, you can have a great trip!
