Getting to the site: To reach Sorrento on your own, there are two options:
A) Curreri Viaggi coaches depart every hour from Parcheggio P1 (Parking lot P1), just outside the terminal at Naples Capodichino Airport. The ticket costs €10 and can be purchased on board or in advance at www.curreriviaggi.it/. The ride takes about 1.15 hours, with stops along the way. In Sorrento, get off at Sorrento—Stazione (Train Station), the last stop on the line.
If you can manage your bags for the walk to the hotel, exit the station and cross the piazza Giovanni Battista de Curtis, then turn onto via Ernesto de Curtis (200 ft). When you reach the Corso Italia, take a right and walk 0.1 mi. to the hotel.
If you cannot manage your bags, there is a taxi stand at the train station exit; the fare will be about €10 for the ride.
B) A private car and driver transfer direct from Naples Capodichino Airport to the hotel in Sorrento can be requested and arranged through Sireon Tours (Sorrento) at +39 081 807 1865 or email paola@sireontours.com. The door-to-door service is approximately €180 and must be prepaid using a credit card. Please note that a night supplement of €30 will apply for services between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Getting to the site by train or bus: Sorrento is connected to Naples by a minor railway network called the Circumvesuviana. Naples is on the main railway line that connects major cities in Italy.
