Appartement - Sorrento

We had a great stay here. The main living space is beautiful, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The master bed is very comfortable. For the price we paid I was not expecting such a nice place. The road is a little noisy but it didn't bother us. The en suite bathroom could have been a little cleaner as the shower is a bit mouldy, and the limited amount of hot water was a little irritating with 4 adults sharing, but apart from that everything else was great.

This property SHOULD and COULD be a very nice apartment....but it isn't ! When we booked it we knew it was close to the railway station but that didn't concern us. However, no mention was made of the fact that it's probably on THE busiest road in and out of Sorrento and the noise is remorseless...particularly from motor bikes and scooters. You can't hear a train for the road noise ! When we were met at the property by Susy she immediately tried to ask us for 25 euros per day to park the car....which we understood to be free. When I refused she made a call to someone and then agreed it would be free. Even then it wasn't worth it ! The underground lock up has a tight spiral descent and our SUV hire car wouldn't get around the curve walls despite several attempts. In the end we gave up and parked underground across the road near the station for 18 euros per day. BUT, the main concern was the apartment itself which was dirty and neglected. We found broken glass on the floor, dirty and human waste soiled towels, dust and grime everywhere, mould on the shower tray,, dirty items left in bins and baskets, the balcony was absolutely filthy with dirty furniture and wet cushions......not that you could sit there for long with all the road noise. We felt we had to wash everything before we could use it, although we had to buy our own t-towel for drying as non were provided. The internet provision is so slow as to be virtually non existent. I phoned to owner twice in the first few hours and spoke allegedly to her husband who seemed less than interested. No one appeared or responded at all during our 4 days there to attempt to address any of our concerns. This stay was the final leg of a 10 day trip to Italy with friends jointly celebrating our 50th. wedding anniversaries and, sadly,whilst it didn't altogether spoil the holiday it certainly didn't give us the finale we had expected. Finally, if you look at the property on the Homeaway web site you will see a very attractive view across the Bay of Naples. Trust me, this is NOT the view you have !

Property a bit dated in decor but very spacious and location was ideal. The WiFi wasn't very good at all. The cooking facilities were a bit slap dash but we muddled through in the end.

The apartment is gorgeous. Three separate bedrooms and three bathrooms gave us the privacy we were looking for, and wonderful living rooms and a terrace with a beautiful view gave us great common space. Guisi was extremely nice during our whole stay helping us with things we didn't even know we needed!

To note: bedrooms are of different comfort level, from a really royal one to a smaller one with a couch of lower comfort, but we found a good way to allocate them :) Pictures don't express how nice the apartment is (really beautiful living room)

Die Wohnung liegt im 1. Stock sehr zentral in Sorrento, direkt am Bahnhof und der Hauptstraße. In der Ausschreibung steht “mit Parkplatz“, allerdings handelt es sich hier um eine Garage unter dem Haus, die zusätzlich mit 25€/Tag berechnet wird, das war überraschend. Ansonsten keine großen Beanstandungen. Sauber und ordentlich, schöner Balkon, der aber wegen der Straße recht laut ist.
