Sorrento, Quite the Peaceful Getaway

After the hustle and bustle of Rome (which, GOD, I adored!), it was nice to move onto the second half of my trip, the beach/seaside getaway town of Sorrento.

Sorrento is quite small, so it's very easy to explore your way around and find all the secret passageways...
...and subsequently stumble upon hidden spots where you basically get your own balcony, complete with the most fabulous cappuccino and a smashing view of the sea:


I mean, I really didn't get tired of that view! 

Or this view: 
 Or any of the views! 

 It might sound too kitschy a term, but Sorrento is just so darn cute. It's everything you want out of a little Italian town: 
It's got that European flair. 

 The prettiest little benches you've ever seen. 

 Adorable bridges.

 10th Century mills that you accidentally run into on your morning walk.

 Beautiful art you find under the archways.

 Vines growing up the sides of buildings.

And the right kind of simple summer foods. 

 It's even got a tiny speck of night life...

 Where the bartenders give you free drinks (um, if you're a woman, I assume). 

There's not too many bad things I can say about Sorrento...





And gosh, what can I say when the day ends with that infamous view? That view...
