seaview and luxury attic, swimming pool and terrace

We wanted a view and the penthouse terrace gives us what we wanted and more. Privacy, our own elevator and a quaint little house in the countryside.

Loved the beautiful patio! Sunrise to sunset! Appreciated air conditioning. Functional lift for luggage was appreciated.

Our stay was more than amazing, the view is just unbeatable. The area is completely private including the huge deck we had all to ourselves. Even when we used the pool, it was just us. The owners live down below and we only saw them on our way in and out when they were outside, so it felt private, but if we needed them they were always responsive. The unit was very cozy with everything needed (except a dryer which for us Americans is not common, but the terrace was plenty warm for air drying). Short 20 min walk to the Bagni Ragina with no worries about parking, and very short drive into Sorrento and the marinas! Would 10000% stay here again.

We fell in love with Sorrento. It's a beautiful city with plenty of things to do. You can also catch a ferry to Capri, Amalfi and Positano. The VRBO was beautiful and so comfortable. You're surrounded by olive trees and the view of the Bay of Naples is so amazing. The host helped us with getting taxis and dining recommendations. The hill from the street to the VRBO can be difficult but I'm 68 and I walked it several times.

The view is fantastic, however if you have any bags you are going to have a hell of a time getting them up to the property. Our driver got lost (he was excellent, and very patient with us), as the listing address on VRBO does not show up as a selectable location when you book a taxi with SIXT, the official cab service in Naples. The gps location takes you up a goat path, literally. So unless you meet the host at the bottom of the mountain, you won't be able to find it on your own. Again, the property is beautiful, but from the closest bus stop it's about a mile walk, at a steep incline (think a black diamond ski hill) that is not lit (see photo). We are a very fit couple and the climb was not much of a problem for us, but we got in to the place around 8:45pm, and wanted to go get some dinner after our harrowing journey. There is nothing. No restaurants within 2 miles, and certainly no grocery stores. It would be the perfect rental to bring groceries to and just hang out by the pool and on the beautiful patio, but unless you are confident on Vespa or in a small car in a city where everyone drives like crazy (which is saying something coming from us, my husband is from Mumbai and we live in DC) then you won't be eating. The bus at the bottom of the hill is great and runs around every 30 minutes to go into the city of Sorrento. However, the last bus from the Sorrento train station is at 11pm, so no late night bar crawls. Also no hot water in the broken shower.

Absolutely stunning view, great pool and the host was very helpful. Plan to walk up hill to the unit if you do not have a car.

This is a gorgeous space tucked away in the hills of Sorrento. Be aware it sits atop a huge hill that you will have to walk up and down to reach the bus stop. Also please note that the property’s manager will reach out to you rather than the owner; he is super friendly and will give you all the help you need during your stay. The house and property are gorgeous and it makes for such a nice vacation or romantic getaway!

What an amazing place to stay, 10/10! The balcony has the most jaw dropping views. Ideally placed in Sorrento, with a short walk to a bus stop to take you into Sorrento old town. We had a car to get around but took the train and bus to some sightseeing trips. We also took a boat to Capri, Positano and Amalfi. Would 100% recommend this place. Friendly and easy communications with the owner, who had lots of advice and recommendations on where to go in the area. Thanks for a great stay.

Did I mention the spectacular views? This is a property that visitors to Sorrento, Italy should reserve as soon as possible. The apartment sits on top of a large villa in the hills just outside of the downtown area of Sorrento. This slightly under 1000 sq ft apartment has been beautifully renovated with a fully equipped kitchen, laundry room with washer, a large bathroom, and a bedroom with plenty of room for a king-size bed. Did I mention the breathtaking views? The 2000+ square foot dual patio with lots of lounge chairs, overlooks the city of Sorrento, Pompei, Naples and the islands of Capri and Ishika, and looks directly at an imposing Mount Vesuvius. The property has olive and lemon trees, grape vines, a garden of tomatoes and zucchini, and a beautiful swimming pool for guests. While the apartment does not have a clothes dryer, the upper patio has clothes lines to hang clothes in the sunshine. The city bus stop is a ten-minute walk to the bottom of the hill and a ten-minute ride to the center of town. Taxis can bring you up part of the way up the hill to the front gate of the property and it's less than a five-minute walk from the front gate up to the villa. The host occupies the villa and is most helpful with questions or recommendations for dining, wine bars, or travel arrangements. We plan return just to stay at this extraordinary property to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the world go by atop the hills in Sorrento. Don't pass it up. You'll be happy you didn't.

Booked this property, titled Historic Center of Sorrento” -mapped to the center of town. NOT IN TOWN; INSTEAD 20 min bus ride uphill, then a 20 min walk uphill on cobblestones, then a steep private drive, stairs, then the elevator. Owner gave directions 2 days before, then said if it wasn’t going to work, let him know. To find another place was impossible. He was gracious and picked us up after the bus to avoid the uphill walk for check-in. Had no car, had to walk, then bus/taxi (25 euros/trip), private road didn’t have fit some taxis. After my complaint about the misinformation and inaccuracies and request for compensation, owner changed the title to seaview and luxury attic,” and refused to be responsibile for misleading advert. My husband uses walking sticks, buses, crowded and difficult. Some wonderful things, gorgeous views, nicely appointed (tho only 2 glasses), nice pool area, but unit had maintenance issues. The pool-not clean, the shower wand and some jets -broken, umbrellas/shades -not available, and NO hot water in the shower, not recently renovated as advertised. VRBO was unhelpful, and I warn others. If I had read the reviews, I might have picked up on the location, but generally speaking I don’t read or leave reviews. Owner said he has only 5-star reviews for 10 yrs. Noticed there are only 4 reviews-curious. Maybe changing the listing? For the price point, location is a one-star-too far from town without a car and would appreciate a refund of some costs.
