Sorrento is located in southern Italy's Campania region, near Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Sorrento is famous for its Limoncello, a lemon liquore. The Amalfi coast lemons are a tourist favorite: they are extremely fragrant and higher in vitamin C than a typical lemon. They have a thicker and more fragrant peel than other lemons. Even the leaves are used in the cuisine of the Amalfi Coast. You'll see lemons from February to October, the best are harvested between March and late July. The trees flower in May.

Sorrento can be quite hot in the summer, although dry. The typical Mediterranean climate offers a rainy season from October through February.
