Overall: Amazing. You can stay at a hotel in Sorrento, but you're only visiting. With the villa, we got to actually live there and experience it. Excellent time! Enjoyed Most: While other Sorrento villas are cheaper, this one is by far the best choice for someone who doesn't want to take a cab everywhere. I was thrilled that it was a 10 min walk to everywhere: the main square, the shops, a supermarket, and just a 2 min walk to a great restaurant. Enjoyed Least: While there are so many pluses, there are a few areas of the villa that need improvement. The first is that you really don't have a view of any kind, because you're enclosed by 4 walls when on the property. Also, on weekends, you're right next to a soccer stadium which can get fairly loud, but during the week it was quiet. The washing machine and dryer were also a little tough to get working. And the biggest area of improvement would have to be the dampness of the villa. While not unbearable, a small dehumidifier would do wonders. Surrounding Area: So close to everything. It put you right in a wonderful European setting. Nearby Events or Locales: The nearest small town was Sant'Angello. While not an easy walk, it was definitely walkable. About 20 mins. Tips or Restaurants: Bring your appetite! We went out to dinner every night and did not eat a bad meal. Our favorite restaurants were in the town square. Caruso's and La Laterna. But if you just want a quick bite to eat for a reasonable price, there's a great pizzeria/restaurant 2 mins from the villa. Directions: Directions were great, we just walked from the train station. It was great. Check In Out: Everything was very smooth. Mena explained everything to us and was very helpful whenever we needed a favor, like using her printer.
