Our stay in the villa
Our group of seven friends had a wonderful week in the villa at the end of September. The location was excellent with a twenty minute down hill walk into Sorrento and a thirty to forty minute walk back (but a bus stopped very near the villa for anyone who didn’t want to walk). There was a supermarket near the start of the walk back to the villa which we used to buy food to cook at the villa and there were many cafes in Sorrento to sit in to watch the world go by. We also found a wonderful ice cream parlour in one of the Old Town side streets running parallel to the main road Corsa Italia.
We used public transport from Sorrento to get to the beautiful villages of Positano, Amalfi & Ravello and also to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius. We found the prices of the buses & trains very reasonable. The ferry to Amalfi was more expensive at €16.50 for one way but worth it. The only drawback was that public transport could be very crowded at times.
We felt the villa was very authentic and characterful and a charming, relaxing place to stay with exceptional views overlooking the Bay of Naples. Amazingly it could be seen , perched in the hillside, from many areas down in Sorrento including the port and Corsa Italia.
We can thoroughly recommend the villa to anyone who would like to stay in a charming property, with superb views, out of the hustle & bustle of Sorrento but still with easy access to the town.
