"Before retiring in Sorrento, expats should know that they will need to obtain a visa if they plan to stay for more than 90 days. They should also be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially in comparison to other parts of Italy. Expats should understand that while English is spoken in many tourist areas, learning Italian can greatly enhance their experience and make daily life easier. They should also be prepared for a slower pace of life, as the Italian lifestyle prioritizes relaxation and enjoyment over efficiency. Healthcare in Italy is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have adequate health insurance. They should also be aware that they may be liable for Italian taxes on their worldwide income, depending on their residency status. Expats should know that Sorrento is a popular tourist destination, which can make the city crowded during peak travel seasons. However, it also means that there are many amenities and activities available. The climate in Sorrento is Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters. Expats should also be aware that owning a car in Sorrento can be expensive and challenging due to narrow streets and limited parking, so many residents rely on public transportation. Finally, expats should understand that while Sorrento is a beautiful and charming city, it may not offer the same level of convenience or accessibility as larger cities. Therefore, it's important to visit and spend time in Sorrento before making the decision to retire there," remarked another expat in Sorrento, Italy.
