 In the centre of the lovely spot of Sant' Agata sui Due Golfi, in the middle of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the Villa Fernanda Hotel offers a warm and friendly family atmosphere for all the guests. In the luxuriantly garden of the hotel you can relax taking the sun, or in the hydromassage of the swimming-pool, always tasting different cocktails. At the customer's disposal a large parking-place.
Sant. Agata sui due golfi is situated about 6 km from Sorrento, and about 400mt. above sea level; it is a well known holiday resort and one of the "pearls" in the gulf of Naples and Salerno, facing Capri. Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, were enchanted by the beaunties of the Siren Land and lived in the wooded hills for the centuries. This has been confirmed by the wide necropolis existing on the northern side of the hill. Later it was occupied by the Carmelitani Padri who built a Monatery which they gave the name "Deserto".
In the Roman age it became the junction of merchant traffic between the two gulfs. The church of S.Maria delle Grazie in S.Agata has inside a beautiful high altar: it is an important work of the Florentine school of XVI century, it is a fantastic work of polichrome marble hard shaped stones and mother of pearl. The Landscape itineraries are only some amongst many opportunities available in the Siren Land: to the bays of Crapolla and Jeranto (protected area FAI), to San Costanzo and Punta Campanella, in a wide and uncontaminated maquis.
