Where this sits in Sorrento

Sorrento is about 41 min by road from Naples International Airport. The practical base for the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Pompeii — lemon groves, a cliff-top old town and, crucially, a train line and ferries. Less dramatic than the coast road, and far easier to come and go from.
