Location
Villa Sorrento is a brand new tranquil country community conveniently
located in Polk County on US Highway 27 between Davenport and Haines
City. Only minutes from Junction 55 on Interstate 4 the location makes
for excellent travel links and easy driving to all of Florida’s major
attractions.
In addition to the usual theme park attractions the local
area has so much to offer whether you are looking for adventure or
relaxation. There are beautiful parks and gardens, rivers, lakes and
nature areas just waiting to be explored.
It has History too! The area
has a history that dates back to when the Native Americans headed by
leaders such as Chief Tallahassee and Chief Chipco made their homes here
along the banks of the many lakes in the area. Today these lakes provide
a playground for water skiing, fishing, wild airboat rides or wildlife
spotting.
Haines City is a quaint little town that was originally called
Clay Cut because of the railroad tracks that were built deep in the
clay. It became known as Haines City when Colonel Henry Haines brought
about the building of the town’s train station.
Later farmers planted
citrus trees which started an industry still in production today and
they developed one of the states largest co-ops, The Haines City Citrus
Growers Association. It was during the 1920’s & 30’s this industry
boomed and many of the buildings you can see today in the downtown
district of Haines City were built and are now listed on the National
Historic Register.
You can witness a small piece of this history
yourself, whilst relaxing on our pool deck you will take in the views of
the fragrant orange groves and the distant sound of the train horn’s as
the trains pass through Haines City.
