Central Sorrento Top Floor 2 BR Apartment with sea view and access to sea

Wow! what a place! Private and out of the way, fantastic view of Mt. Vesuvius from the veranda, and access to an ultimate private beach! Mario and Rafaelle met us at the apartment to show us how everything worked and introduced us to the lifeguard at the beach. Mario even spent a short time giving us Americans a lesson on how to use an espresso coffee maker. We enjoyed our Italian coffee every morning watching the incoming ferries, cruise ships and waiting for the fog to lift off the mountain. Daily cleaning service was very welcome. Well appointed and comfortable furnishings - both bedrooms having access to the wrap around porch. Great jumping off point for visits to Capri and Amalfi coast. The apartment owner is a well know photographer to the area - the apartment has several examples of his work - we also visited his exhibition at a church in Sorrento one evening. Mario was extremely helpful - restaurant recommendations, directions to a grocery store, tour arrangements and making contact with a lemon farm for a private lunch. 15-20 minute walk to center of Sorrento. Highly recommend staying in this apartment or any other property Mario represents. We could go on for days about this absolutely superb piece of heaven!

This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment with a wraparound balcony on the cliffs overlooking the Napoli Bay in Sorrento. 15 minute easy walk to the center of Sorrento with all of the shops and restaurants, or to the train station or ferry. The views are breathtaking and the Manager, Mario Acanfora was gracious and very helpful with recommendations. It is every bit as good as the pictures and was an ideal base for trips to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.

I will begin this review by complimenting Mario for all of his assistance with the apartment. Mario's company manages the rental of the apartment and his responsiveness to rectifying a number of issues we experienced upon our arrival with the AC units, water pressure, and insufficient hot water in the shower was exemplary. He also went to the supermarket to purchase some food essentials for us and helped us arrange activities. The views from the apartment are beautiful. The apartment is spacious and the kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms were comfortable. The location was convenient to a number of restaurants and was a 20 minute walk to Sorrento center. Having access to the private beach was a very nice amenity. The lift to the beach requires 2€ each way. Would have preferred en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom. The apartment is on the top floor with no lift so be prepared to climb flights of stairs. The apartment is owned by an accomplished artist and the apartment is filled with his photography. We were traveling with our 11y/o granddaughter and I think it is important to note that the theme of some of the artwork is more suited to adults. Had it not been for the issues we encountered upon our arrival I would have given the apartment a higher overall review. However, I give Mario 5 stars!

The apartment was perfect. It was very spacious, super clean and had a view from every room except the kitchen. Mario and Raffaele were there to meet us and carried our luggage to the 5 th floor!! The fact that there is no lift could be a problem for some visitors. The only problem that we had was there were ants. The ants were very small and we tried to take of them with bug spray but they would show up again. No big deal really except when we bought this to the attention of Mario, there was no response.
