Where to stay: Naples or Sorrento?
I will be going in mid-March and will be coming from Rome to the Naples area. There seems to be many strong opinions of Naples (not usually good). What are the advantages of staying in Naples vs. Sorrento? The main thing that I want to do in this area is go to Pompeii & eat great food. From here I will go on to Palermo & Taormina.

We stayed six days in Sorrento at the Bellevue Syrene Hotel (which I highly recommend). Spent only one day in Naples.<BR><BR>No complaints with Naples; we didn't have any negative experiences. It's a big city with a lot to see. However, we thought Sorrento was more convenient to our plans. Besides our day in Naples, we spent a full day at Pompei, another day on Capri (not enough time), a day seeing the towns along the Amalfi Coast, and a day exploring Sorrento.<BR><BR>We only had lunch in Naples, so I can't compare, but we felt we ate very well in Sorrento.
