01 · In a sentence

Castello Giusso in Vico Equense, open MayAugust.

Guests arrive at this 16th-century castle perched on the Sorrentine Peninsula, where sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea unfold from terraced gardens and stone balconies.

The moment your party steps through the castle gates, they enter a world of vaulted ceilings, historic archways, and Mediterranean light that shifts throughout the day.

Your celebration takes place within rooms that have hosted centuries of gatherings, now restored to accommodate modern weddings while honoring their noble past.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Castle is perfectly situated, down quiet side street, a stones throw from Vico centre. Around a 7 minute walk from the Circusuviana railway station, linking Naples to Sorrento and all that's in between. Boat excursions are available from Seiano harbour just a short walk away. The pool was perfect and well attended, and the private beach was beautiful, really well situated, with some great snorkeling. We will definitely return.
