Sorrento Majatalot

Plussat: It was absolutely perfect, beautiful B&B with the best possible hosts.

Plussat: Emanuella greeted us upon arrival and with a big smile welcomed us to her home. She helped orient us to the region and the B&B which is beautiful. The room was very nice, large, clean and very comfortable. Parking was very easy (although a tight fit down the road to the entrance which was fun to navigate in my minivan). The food was awesome - fresh and delicious omelets, pastries, fruit, coffee... Paulo is a great chef! The walk into town is downhill about (lots of steps) and takes about 25 min. There is a very convenient shuttle to get you in/out of town, and when we wanted to go out to dinner late one night, Paulo's dad (makes an amazing gelatto) drove from town, picked us up, and brought us down to the family restaurant (Ruccio) by the water (a must for dinner). At the end of the meal, we were driven home! This is just one example of the how nicely you are treated when staying here.

Plussat: Very warm, honest, friendly and nice owners of the Villa Carolina. We would like to especially thank Emanuela once again for picking-up and dropping us off at the train station and all her, Carlo's and Pepe's efforts to enjoy our time in their beautiful villa. Thank you all, it was a very big pleasure to meet all of you and to spend 5 days there. One day we will be back! :)

Plussat: The location was very peaceful and provided an authentic Italian experience, whilst still having the option of going into Sorrento and back via the free shuttle which was a great perk. Emanuela and Carlo are amazing hosts, both very thoughtful and no request felt like too much trouble. We would love to go back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Villa Carolina to anyone!

Plussat: The hosts were absolutely wonderful. Not only did they set up private transfers for us but they also were full of wonderful advise for us newcomers. If you are looking for an exquisite meal look no further. What a wonderful experience.

Plussat: Emanuela and her family were most welcoming as hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, the food delicious and the villa itself spectacular. I will be back!

Plussat: Emanuela and Carlo were the most wonderful hosts. The property is immaculate and welcoming and with the regular free shuttle bus into and back from the centre of Sorrento, which takes 15 minutes, it is perfectly located with wonderful views towards Mount Vesuvius and over the Bay of Naples. Nothing is ever too much trouble for either Emanuela or Carlo. We will most definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Villa Carolina Country House to anybody who cares to listen.

Plussat: Absolutely everything...Emanuela & Carlo were amazing hosts. The villa itself was so so beautiful with the most amazing views, delicious home grown food & our room was just perfect. We would without a doubt go back.

Plussat: I loved the property itself, the owners, staff and the fact that the produce served was mostly grown in their garden. Carlo and Emanuela couldn’t do enough for us. During breakfast we were brought freshly squeezed juice and if they noticed we’d drunk our coffee before we’d finished eating they would offer us more without us asking. The food was delicious and the surroundings were sublime. We were also very close to Sorrento on foot down a short steep hill, whicif you don’t fancy climbing back up they run a bus service for getting back.

Plussat: Sorrento, Italy If you ever go to Sorrento, Italy, The Villa Carolina is the place to stay. Tucked up in the cliffs beyond the city you really don’t ever need to leave. Carlo & Emanuela are the most gracious, attentive, kind, doting hosts I have ever experienced. They shared their culture, heritage, traditions, recipes, life and love with me. Expecting a little one in October will only add to the charm of this Villa. The day I arrived was fiery hot and exhausting. Upon checkin, Carlo made me two large glasses of mint lemonade, plucking the lemons and mint from his garden right before my very eyes. He listened to my list of things to do in Sorrento and gave spot on, excellent advice and directions on locally owned shops to visit and secluded, private beaches to explore. He insisted on making dinner on the terrace that evening so I could watch the sun set and relax. I happily and wearily obliged. Carlo is as adept in the kitchen as he is in his gardens and I ended up dining every night at the Villa. Emanuela’s soft and gentle demeanor, combined with her adept skills in the kitchen baking up one homemade dessert after another, made me feel as if I were staying with family. If you’re staying in Sorrento then do yourself a favor and book this property as soon as possible!

Plussat: The junior suite is great, huge bathroom, fantastic balcony, amazing views. Also very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this hotel. Also, the village restaurant (10 min walk) is highly recommended.

Plussat: The room was beautiful and Stephania was very helpful, including giving us a lift to the bus with our bags when we left. The view from the decking was fantastic.

Plussat: The hotel staff were extremely helpful and provided a very good service to us during our stay. The food that was cooked for us, at our request as we were not big seafood fans was delicious and plentifull.

Plussat: Lovely quiet location, out of the busy city. Gave a view of village life. Good views over bay. Very pleasant hotel and staff. Local restaurant highly recommended.

Plussat: Rooms and bathroom are very spacious. Amazing views on the balcony especially at sunset. The previous review is correct about getting to the hotel, if you have a big car I do not reccomend driving there, the roads are tiny, we just managed in a smart car. The locals had smart car or scooters.

Plussat: Lovely setting, great views, room was spacious and very well fitted, breakfast was simple and yet nice, hosts where helpful and warm yet a working knowledge of Italian would certainly have helped. If you want to kick back for a day the hotel has a lovely terrace with loungers etc.

Plussat: Very comfortable large bedroom well decorated quite recently, with ensuite shower room of very good standard. Well placed for good views over Sorrento.

Plussat: The grounds and view were beautiful. The hotel is nicely structured and updated. The breakfast staff was pleasant. Typical Italian style buffet breakfast (sweet rolls, juice and coffee), not USA buffet standards.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helpfull

Plussat: The hotel's private beach is great! we love having our dinner and drinks on the beach. 20 mins walk away from the hotel has some amazing cave swimming pool, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to visit. Staff are super friendly and helpful!

Plussat: Wow what an amazing stay, they made our honeymoon trip so special. Beautiful room with amazing amenities. Breakfast was lovely and the farm is so peaceful/dreamy

Plussat: One of the rare quiet places in otherwise quite crazy nonstop moving Sorrento region. Spacious olive garden, private beach with all the service and sea equipment available. But before all: superb staff. All very helpful, giving valuable advices what to see and how to get there. Always ready to bring us to the beach or to the Sorrento with their unforgettable "olive bus".

Plussat: Very nice place with a private Laguna, staff did their best to make us happy, well done and thanks a lot!

Plussat: The staff really made this trip, they couldn't of been more helpful and welcoming! The service they offered was second to none! The hotel was extremely clean and the gardens were well maintained. The food was outstanding, from more than enough choice at breakfast, to amazing tapas at lunch to fine dining local dishes in the evening. I would stay here again 10/10

Plussat: Aito maalaistunnelma. Avulias henkilökunta

Plussat: It’s situated just 10mins short drive from busy Sorrento town centre, there is about 22 hectares for you to discover and relax. The room is spacious and fully equipped for modern cons. They have Lemon trees, olive trees, they make all their lemonchello and olive oil in-house! Most importantly they have a private cove where you can feel totally relaxed. On-site there is an old Roman ruin to visit if you are interested. A decent restaurant and a lunch bar is enough to satisfy your Italian appetites. Shame, three nights was too short, look forward to coming back again !

Plussat: The property is awesome and the views spectacular, particularly at sunset. Restaurant was very good for each meal we had. Private beach gives some needed seclusion after Positano....

Plussat: The staff were exceptional - friendly and efficient. They even made sure the taxi driver was sent to pick us up from Napoli airport over 1 hour away! Food excellent. Beach was great. Room comfortable and really clean.

Plussat: Online pics dont do justice to how beautiful this property is. Its an expensive stay but we found it worth every penny for the experience. The private beach was the best one I have ever seen. The staff is extremely extremely extremely helpful & friendly.

Plussat: The views are amazing. The dinner was very good.

Plussat: We recommend this place 100%. We travelled with our two kids for 3 days. It was very clean, it had everything you needed for your stay. The sisters running the place were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. They could help with recommendations when you asked about a taxi, a restaurant, etc. The views were AMAZING. I bet we had better views than many other places in Sorrento city centre. It was not in the center, but the local bus was good. As long as you had a bus timetable (in the oasi you also had it), there was no problem. It is quite frequent, every 20 or 30 minutes. You adapt to it as you would do anywhere else in the world. The bus stop was 200 metres away. We read in other comments that some people commented about the hill to go up or down the hotel being too difficult, however we didn`t find it difficult at all. Everything around Sorrento, and the rest of the Amalfi coast is similar, many hills because of the geographical situation. However, it was no difficult for us or our children. There was a lovely mini park for the kids to enjoy, some animals and many fruit trees in beautiful sorroundings. There was also a very good restaurant up the hill. Amazing sunset views. All in all a GREAT Experience, and we would repeat without any doubt. Thanks a lot!

Plussat: The tranquillity The view The nuns Rooms was great for us 3 Shower was perfect

Plussat: Clean and simple. Breakfast was a plus. Staff friendly and helpful

Plussat: Great accomodation with amazing views of the sea and Sorrento. Good selection for breakfast. We also had evening meal here which was home cooked by the nuns using fresh produce grown on site, an extra cost but very reasonably priced. Laundry facilities available for hand washing a bonus. Close to bus transport. Nuns were very friendly and helpful. Very attentive especially with meal service. Extensive grounds and lovely gardens with children's play area.

Plussat: Everything! The location was so peaceful! You have a balcony to view the sunrise/sunset. I liked hearing the rooster in the morning. The nuns were great as well!

Plussat: Rauhallinen paikka, mutta todella vaatimaton.

Plussat: Absolutely stunning location and gardens Fantastic play area for children Delicious breakfast included The sisters were so friendly and welcoming Really felt at peace all the time / wish our plans had permitted us to stay longer!

Plussat: Persoonallinen, kaunis ja rauhallinen majapaikka. Lähellä hyvä taverna. Illallinen luostarissa oli runsas ja maittava. Viihdyimme hyvin.

Plussat: Really nice and very helpful! Clean and beautiful. Iews! Also breakfast was great!!

Plussat: This stay was absolutely amazing. We loved the view over the whole gulf and the Versuvius and the fabulous garden. It was huge! Great staff, great everything!!!!

Plussat: Lovely rustic property, the nuns are really friendly & the view is simply stunning. If you want to be able to see beautiful sea views and stay in a magical rustic historic property that has beautiful gardens with orchards and a small animal farm then this is where you need to stay. The property is a short bus ride away from town (10 mins max) - $1.30 on the bus. You can also walk to town if you wish (20-30mins) – take the smaller roads and it is very pleasant – you can catch the bus back up to the monastery from the central train station. Sister Whinny helped us a lot with information and travel advice and we really enjoyed our stay here.

Plussat: Luigi and Annemarie were very friendly and welcoming, couldn’t ask for better hosts. The location was fantastic giving a brilliant view of sorrento and the property was very authentic Italian and clean. Shuttle bus service very helpful and saved us a lot of money on taxis.

Plussat: Amazing view! Lovely gardens and great food.

Plussat: Staff was mostly friendly. Tried to help when I needed a ride.

Plussat: Nice view. Nice gardens. Personal touch of the management. The food is very good (superb cooking skills!!).

Plussat: A beautiful location slightly outside of the town centre of Sorrento with the most amazing views and scenery. Although it’s a bit further away from the huddle and bustle, there is a free shuttle service throughout the day and evening which allows you to get around with ease. This way you get the benefit of the town but also the tranquility of the countryside. The rooms were clean with everything we needed and fresh towels were available every day. The shower was very powerful as was the air conditioning. The staff were so helpful and accommodating and gave us everything we needed whilst giving us space to feel relaxed and at home during our stay. We also did one of the cookery classes which was one of the best meals I’ve ever had - thank you so much! However, we forgot to take the recipes from Ana Maria so we will need to send an email asking for them. The garden area with the jacuzzi was a great place to relax during the day - the temperature can be altered if you want to go in and cool off after sunbathing and you can also turn it up if you want it to be hot tub style. Fresh pool towels are also provided. The shared roof terrace was a great place to unwind in the evening and watch the stars and the sunset with a glass of wine. There is also a continental breakfast available every morning between 7.30 and 9.30.

Plussat: Hyvä näköala ja puutarha, rauhallinen sijainti. Hotellissa oli myöskin mahdollista ruokailla ja ruoka oli erittäin hyvää, mutta mielestämme kuitenkin hiukan ylihintaista.

Plussat: We had an amazing stay at Villa Pane. The property is absolutely view, stunning view and we were very well taken care of. Gianluigi and his mother were wonderful. The breakfast was amazing, lots of homemade food and fresh produce. The view from our room was incredible and we had a large terrace to sit and watch the sun set over the ocean from. We had dinner there one night which was also amazing. It is a little out of the way but it was well worth it being so quiet, out of the traffic and business of the city, and with such an amazing view. A free shuttle to and from Sorrento is offered several times per day anyway, but with luggage you will have to arrive between 7:30 and 11:30 even if you get a taxi because the hotel lies up a small road that is very steep and only accessible by small cars and motorbikes.

Plussat: The people at the property were super friendly and helpful. We were not too sure how to access the place but they came and picked us up at a local restaurant. Great hot tub. Spacious rooms. Tasty breakfast. Shuttle to town and down the road to car made the location manageable.

Plussat: Food was fantastic - no menu for dinner, you are served what is fresh and good. and reasonable value too

Plussat: Great, friendly staff. Clean, well decorated rooms and wonderful views and surroundings. Shuttle bus service was a wonderful idea and well used by all! Highly recommend!

Plussat: Stunning view and the food was exceptional. Outstanding service
