Travel from Sorrento to Rome

Does this sound reasonable? ”
So, if I want to go from Sorrento to Rome:
I would take the Circumvesuviana train from Sorrento to Garibaldi (in basement of Napoli Centrale)

Then, I go upstairs and take a train from Napoli Centrale to Roma Termini (the Intercity or the Regionale???)

Can all of this trip be booked in Sorrento or do I need to purchase the second part of the journey at Napoli Centrale.

Time estimate for total trip 2 - 3 hours, cost estimate 25 Euros? Is this somewhere in the neighborhood of correct?

Thanks,
BernieAnn

I'm not sure if the Circumvesuviana train station in Sorrento sells Trenitalia tickets--perhaps someone else can verify. However, I suspect you will find a travel agency in sorrento authorized to sell Trenitalia tickets.

Trenitalia times and prices here.

We did this 4 years ago (going the other way) and the travel description is correct, although I thought we paid more than that for our tickets, but I may also be remembering the cost of two tickets, rather than one. I'm not sure about the ticket to Rome, since we were coming from Rome.

>>>cost estimate 25 Euros<<<

The price won't be that cheap unless you take a slow train. The Circumvesuviana will be a little over 3€ and an ES train to Rome will be 46€.

If you can get up early, you can catch the Curreri bus from Sorrento to Rome (6:30 am 16€ - no Sunday service) or the Marozzi bus which leaves at 6 am(17.50€), but on weekends departs at 5pm.

The bus is nice because you only have to handle your luggage once and don't have to watch it like a hawk after it's loaded in the luggage compartment. But, for me, the departure hour is brutal.
