HOTEL ORIENTE

Along one of the most beautiful and evocative stretches of the Neapolitan coast, between Sorrento and Castellammare di Stabia, we find Vico Equense, resting on a large tufaceo bench, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the Gulf of Naples. The city was founded in the 13th century by Charles II of Anjou, on the ruins of the Roman settlement of the town of Aequana, whose remains, recently discovered, date back to the 7th century BC. The territory is divided into 13 village hamlets that embrace a territory of almost 30 sq. km. Among the places to visit, Monte Faito is the destination for outdoor picnic excursions, Marina d'Aequa, also known as Seiano, Marina di Vico Equense, Mineralogical Museum Campano, Museum of Sacred Art, Antiquarium Aequano and Giusso Castle. Numerous churches present, such as the Annunciation, are rare examples of Gothic churches in the Sorrento Peninsula.
