We stayed in Hotel Villa Maria in Sorrento for 9 nights. The hotel is located in very close proximity to all the restaurants and shops, very walkable and very safe area to stay in. It’s right at the beginning of Corso Italia the main street all the way to Piazza Tasso. We enjoyed having breakfast in the hotel every morning which was very convenient. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful with accommodations, and giving us information about the places we wanted to go, bus stations, the nearest beach which was 15 minutes walk from the hotel, ferries, train station. Our room had ocean view and every morning we absolutely enjoyed looking at Mount Vesuvius and the ocean from our balcony. The room was outdated but in Italy that’s how the rooms are. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay in Hotel Villa Maria and Sorrento. I highly recommend this hotel for those who want to visit Sorrento.
Everyday we picked another city to visit: Pompeii with train, Capri and Anacapri with ferry, Positano with ferry, Amali/Ravello by bus.
The hotel has a pool and bar/restaurant that you can order drinks or dine in addition to the main restaurant for breakfast which was included in our hotel booking and dinner which you will need to pay. We also had room service every day.
