Sant'Agata sui due golfi on Sorrento Coast

The name of this town comes from its particular geographical position, it boasts a wonderful view on the Gulf of Naples on one side and on the other side a spectacular view on the Gulf of Salerno (the name of the town translated is: “Sant’Agata on two gulfs”). The name comes also from the little church of Sant’Agata (a Saint original of Catania, in Sicily). The particular catholic vocation of this town is evident in two places, both deserving a visit: the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which is still the centre of all the social and cultural activities of the town, and the Monastery, built on the hill called “Deserto”, easy to reach by feet from the centre of the town, which offers a wonderful view. In Sant’Agata you can have a walk in the streets of the town, among the shop windows and the seaside, and when you’ll be tired of walking you can sit in a restaurant and taste the “caprese salad” (a salad made with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella) prepared with the typical and delicious tomatoes produced in this zone (tomatoes of Sant’Agata). Talking about food we suggest you a stop in the famous restaurant Don Alfonso, known above all for its high cuisine and for the beauty of the restaurant too: indeed the restaurant has antique furniture, chandeliers made of Murano glass, hand-painted majolicas and, of course, delicious dishes. It will make you fully live the beautiful atmospheres of the Sorrento Coast. Just one tip: if you want to eat at Don Alfonso’s is better to reserve a table, the biggest part of tourist who come to Sant’Agata want to taste his famous cuisine. So we suggest you to call before go.
