Handy getaway

The apartment was perfect for our stay in Sorrento. The location was ideal and meant we could leave the car and walk to beach, shops and restaurants. The unit itself was efficiently appointed and had a brilliant sense of space indoors and out.

A quiet getaway in great location

A small, private but adequate place to stay for a couple of nights. It's best feature is that it is within walking distance to beach and main street of Sorrento It has had an upmarket large bathroom renovation and although very nice didn't quite fit in with the casual feel of the place A portable electric hot plate is provided and microwave for reheating purposes rather than cooking a meal Towels ( well washed ) and bed linen provided but no top sheet for the bed Probably better if guests bring their own The outdoor area would benefit from an umbrella in warm weather The host was friendly, easy to communicate with and kindly offered us a late check out
