Two train stops up or a four kilometer (3 mile) walk from the tourist paradise that is Sorrento, lies the picturesque municipality of Piano di Sorrento (meaning the floor of Sorrento). May is an ideal time to visit Italy, as it is before the maddening crowds of summer and is in the prime of lemon season, as well as many other tasty fruits. In Piano di Sorrento visitors can slip away from the tourist crowds and enjoy a bit of the local life and produce.
One must see, while in Piano di Sorrento, is the Azienda Agricola O' Professore. As you walk through the gates of O’ Professore you are greeted by the most beautiful of lemon orchards and the utmost hospitality. A paradise secreted away behind the city walls, O’ Professore surprises and delights the senses. Make sure and take the time to stop and stroll among the lemon scented groves and talk with the family. You will not regret it and will be forever changed for the better by doing so.
Need a little pick me up? Maresca coffee roasters in Piano di Sorrento will not disappoint. While there take the time to talk with the family about their process and learn the secret to the perfect cup of coffee. An artistic and flavorful café experience awaits!
One way to save money and get a feel for local life is to shop at the farmer’s market. Piano di Sorrento is home to a wonderful fish and produce market. Take a stroll through the many colorful stalls filled with a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and aquatic life, including still moving squid and octopus. Take the time to taste and smell the fruits and talk to the farmers and fishermen selling their wares to learn about the best food pairings and cooking techniques.
After a day of tasty adventures about town, stroll down to the water’s edge and enjoy the glistening beauty of black volcanic sands that is the beach at Marina di Cassano. Take note of the caves carved into the cliffs; comb the beach for smooth sea glass and historic terra cota tile fragments; swim in Mediterranean waters or just lie back and relax under the warm Italian sun.
Whether you visit for the day or stay longer, Piano di Sorrento is a southern Italian experience you will not soon forget that will leave you longing to return.
