The views into the ravine are just amazing--and so unexpected, being nearly adjacent to the central square. The Hotel Antiche Mura is adjacent to the ruins and provide additional views from the property, but the views from the street are just as stunning.

A wonderful gorge in the heart of Sorrento. Walk alongside the road overlooking the valley to see another valley equally spectacular.

Mother Nature can surprise you with so much tucked into every corner of this amazing place; Sorrento. As I looked down to admire the Deep Valley of the Mills; I had to collect myself. I have a tremendous fear of heights .... but I had to overcome it to take in this view. How ahh inspiring!

This old mill is interesting to see if you are near Piazza Tasso. It is right next to our hotel, so we happened to see it. We were shocked the first time we looked over the rails and saw this mill waaayyyy down below. Our hotel staff said the mill is around 150 years old. Also nice to see at... More

As others have noted, this is a startling sight that should not be missed. I believe it is currently closed off so you can't descend down into it, but the sight alone is very memorable.
