Sorrento - Patrician resort
Description:
I invite you to plunge into the quiet charm of Sorrento! City-bird, Romantic city, stretched on a cliff, at an altitude of fifty meters above the sea - a natural "balcony", created by the elements. The ancient Phoenicians, who founded their first colony here, chose a wonderful place. It is impossible to describe the delight that gives contemplation of the Tyrrhenian Sea from a height of 50 meters terrace. It is for such impressions that people come here from all over the world. It seems to be the third thousand years. A city with the aroma of lemons and oranges, and the taste of strong liquor. Sung in songs, shrouded in legends, unusually picturesque, it is no coincidence that Roman patricians, royalty, aristocrats have long loved to relax in Sorrento, and this influenced the formation of a special style and atmosphere; literary geniuses, musicians, artists made living in Sorrento a kind of cult. This is the birthplace of the poet Tasso and the favorite resort of Byron, Ibsen, Nietzsche, Wagner, Goethe, Stendhal, Dickens, Bunin, Mendelssohn. And today this place attracts and attracts romantics with a subtle taste of the cult atmosphere of the refuge of writers, philosophers and pilgrims and gives its charm.
