At the end of Lentell Avenue begins the Millionaires Walk. Look for the paling gate with the triangular hole for the handle. It looks like a private entrance but is actually a public path. Walk past the fancy houses and enjoy the views of the bay. Then go down to lovely Point King beach. Wave to Lindsay Fox as he helicopters in or out.

This is by far the best place to eat in Sorrento. The food is sublime. A French inspired menu, strong on seafood but something for every taste. Tell them you are staying at Neil and Juliet's place and you will receive even more special treatment

Just like sitting on the beach but minus the flys, sand, wind and sunburn. The more inclement the weather the better.

An extremely pleasant place to sit outside and enjoy your coffee whilst listening to French tunes. The secret to this cafe is the homemade pies. My favourite is the beef bourguignon, others prefer the duck.
