A queen, her lovers and a hidden place by the sea.
The Bagni della Regina Giovanna are one of Sorrento’s most fascinating places, surrounded by the remains of an ancient Roman villa.
But its name comes from a much later legend.
It is said that in the 15th century, Queen Giovanna II of Naples came here to bathe away from prying eyes — and to secretly meet her young lovers.
According to the darkest version of the legend, some of them never left this place alive.
History or legend?
More than six centuries later, no one really knows.
What remains is an extraordinary corner of Sorrento, hidden between rock, history and sea — and one of Fernando’s favorite places.
Whenever possible, our crew loves to show it to our guests from the sea and tell them the story behind it.
