A lemon grove hideaway near Sorrento
Villa Don Camillo Relais sits inside its own citrus grove in Sant’Angelo, a quiet hilltop town just ten minutes' drive from Sorrento's lively centre. This was an aristocratic estate back in 1774, built for noble families escaping to the countryside during harvest season. It's been carefully restored, but the character is still there – stone walls, aged charm, that unmistakable feeling of somewhere with a long memory.
There's an outdoor pool tucked among the greenery, and it's the kind of place where you'll lose whole afternoons without meaning to. The on-site Don Camillo Restaurant, meanwhile, is run by Chef Vincenzo Vanacore, and it's worth clearing your evening for. Think proper Sorrentine cooking – local ingredients, traditional techniques, and the kind of creative touch that catches you off guard.
You're a ten-minute walk from the Circumvesuviana train station too, which connects you to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Naples without needing a car. Sorrento centre is a half-hour stroll or a quick cab ride. Close enough to do everything, far enough away to actually relax.
