Torquato Tasso nacque in questo palazzo che, a metà Ottocento, si trasformò in dépendance delle grandi regge d'Europa. Vi scesero poeti come Lord Byron, Scott, Shelley e Leopardi. James Fenimore trovò qui ispirazione per l'opera "Water Witch"; Harriet Beecker Stowe per la sua "Agnese di Sorrento". E la famosa canzone "Turna a Surriento" venne composta sulla sua terrazza.
