finding beauty in sorrento’s forgotten mill

We wandered into Sorrento expecting lemon groves and sea views, but somehow ended up staring at this old, abandoned mill right in the middle of town. The place looked like it had been swallowed by greenery—ivy everywhere, broken windows, and the kind of silence that makes you wonder what stories the walls could tell. I couldn’t help but think about how much history must be hidden in those crumbling stones, but at the same time, it felt a little eerie, like the place was just waiting for someone to remember it. Here’s the thing: I love discovering these hidden corners, but I also wonder why a spot with so much character is left to rot while the rest of Sorrento is so polished and touristy. Have you ever stumbled on a place like this, where you feel both drawn in and a little uneasy? I’m torn between wanting to explore every inch and worrying I’m trespassing on something sacred. It’s strange how the most beautiful sights can also be the most neglected. What’s the most unexpected place you’ve found on your travels that made you stop and think? #Sorrento #TravelStories #HiddenGems #Travel
