Location is perfect for walking to town and waterfront

Very handy property. Covered the bases for what we needed. Very low stud so wouldn’t stay here if you are over 6foot 3inches. My son felt a little claustrophobic. But relative to the cost of other accomadation in the centre of Sorrento I guess this was good value. Although still not cheap for what it is.

Great place to base yourself but

The kitchen was a little disappointing. Needs a toaster, a least 1 sharp knife, tissues or paper towel or napkins. A hairdryer would be good too. There is a little noise from upstairs of people walking around. No cleaning products to clean up before leaving like a broom.
