Details The secrets of the Museum

Between art secrets and the scent of lemons

If you are looking for what to do in Sorrento to experience it beyond the usual tourist circuits, there is an experience that combines culture, landscape and authentic flavors in an extraordinary itinerary. Forget the large crowds: we offer you an exclusive guided tour designed for small groups, which will open the doors of the Museo Correale like you have never seen it before.

The secrets of Museo Correale

This is not your usual tour. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will have special access to details and masterpieces that are normally not visible to the public.

You can admire up close the secrets of the masters of Sorrento inlay (intarsia) and the millimetric precision of the mechanisms of precious vintage clocks, discovering curiosities that few people know and marveling at every single work of art.

From the Century-Old Park to the Terrace overlooking the Gulf

From the internal rooms of the extraordinary 4 floors of the Palazzo dei Conti Correale, the tour moves outdoors, among the ancient trees of a noble park.

You will walk suspended between the greenery of the villa and the scent of the sea, until you reach the most spectacular destination, the Belvedere Terrace. From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius: a privileged perspective, far from the chaos, to take incredible photos and fill your eyes with beauty.

The yellow gold: the History of Sorrento Lemons

You cannot say you truly know this land without discovering the famous lemons of Sorrento. With this tour, you can do so in a completely immersive way.

Passing through the small agricultural museum with photos and tools of the family that has cared for the Park of Villa dei Correale for decades, the tour will lead you straight into the beating heart of the estate: a nursery rich in native lemon trees.

Here you will discover the secrets of the traditional cultivation of the peninsula's yellow gold, the Ovale di Sorrento Lemon PGI. And since history is better understood when tasted, the experience concludes with an authentic and refreshing tasting:

• Freshly squeezed lemonade

• Artisanal marmalades made of oranges and lemons

• Flavored olive oil

• The true, inevitable local Limoncello
