The Medieval Castle on the Sorrento Peninsula was built by the Duke of Sorrento, who followed the Byzantine rite, as a frontier fortress of his domain. Over the course of four centuries (from the 11th to the 15th), it underwent several transformations dictated by the evolution of military techniques. Its current appearance dates back to the last transformation, carried out in 1470, to make the stronghold capable of withstanding artillery attacks. The ancient residence is designed to inspire in guests a sense of anticipation for what they will discover step by step. Visitors are welcomed in the Cour d'Honneur, dominated by the towers and the ancient 14th-century well. One then proceeds through a stone arch to reach a first garden adorned with evergreen plants and trees, from which the Lattari Mountains can be admired. A monumental stone staircase leads down to a second garden featuring a fishpond and ancient fountains, creating a magical and captivating atmosphere through its beauty, art, and natural scenery. From here, the view of the Gulf of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum—along with the entire coastline illuminated by enchanting lights in the evening—leaves guests breathless. Continuing downward through a passage within the 15th-century defensive bastion, one reaches the area that was once the ancient moat, now a lush olive garden with sea and Vesuvius views, and the jardin d’hiver. From the courtyard or the gardens, one can then access the ancient walls that once extended all the way to the sea (hence the name of the city Castellammare — “Castle on the Sea”). From here, guests enter the millenary structure, greeted by the medieval atmosphere of the Hall of Fireplaces, which can host guests for lunches or dinners, or serve as a meeting and conference room.
