Meta

The city of Meta is located on the Sorrento peninsula together with the municipalities of Vico Equense, Piano di Sorrento, Sant'Agnello, Sorrento and Massa Lubrense.

It is the second largest town on the peninsula coming from Naples, after Vico Equense, and overlooks only the Gulf of Naples.
Meta rises approximately 111 meters above sea level and covers an area of approximately 2.5 km², encompassing both coastal areas, with over 800 meters of coastline, and mountainous areas, including the hamlet of Alberi, Mount Vico Alvano to the southeast (642 meters), and part of the Lattari Mountains.
Although there are no real political divisions within the municipality, popular tradition sees Meta divided into two distinct parts: Meta "di sopra" (upper) and Meta "di sotto" (lower); the former includes Alberi and the inland area of the town; the latter comprises the area facing the coast.

The "Le Grottelle" lemon grove at Villa Massa is a historic lemon garden with breathtaking views.
A few hundred meters from the center of Meta, it takes its name from the ancient road that once connected Sorrento to the hinterland.
With around 200 lemon trees, the plant is arranged in terraces and enjoys a splendid view of the Sorrento plain and the Gulf of Naples.
