The Villa

Walking through an ancient porch of tufa columns, amongst orange flowers and climbing ivy, you will reach the Secret Garden Relais, one of the most romantic hotels in Sorrento.

The villa stands in an 18th century building, and is attributed to the vanvitellian school, from which it still maintains the private chapel and a majestic helicoidal flight of steps, which look like a shell.

The Secret Garden Relais is an oasis of peace, in the heart of the Sorrentine peninsula, and isideal for vacations in Sorrento, private parties and ceremonies on the Amalfi coast.

The place, easily reacheable by car, is only two stops from the train station of Sorrento, andfeatures a swimming pool with solarium and a private parking lot, something of worth in an area where available parking is at a minimum. It is set in the most meticulous citrus groves in Sorrento and is shaded by centuries-old magnolia trees.

From the villa it is easy to get to the port of Sorrento for trips to Capri, cruises amongst the islands of the gulf of Naples or to visit the beautiful beaches of the Sorrentine peninsula such as the Bay of Ieranto and the naturalist beaches of the marine reserves of Massa Lubrense.

The Secret Garden offers guests a shuttle service, enhancing the unforgettable experience of their stay in Sorrento.

"It was the reign of roses; the walls surrounding the garden were covered with them and the climbing branches winded so thickly that the plaster was not visibile, below the green blanket."

(F.H. Burnett, The Secret Garden)
