My experience at Villa Maria was pretty good. Restaurant experience is Rossario great Witress and Messi great waiter and the others do not know names but all are very attentative and never stop working. It is a great Buffet Breakfast your spoiled for choice from a fry up to different breads cakes fruits ect and coffe tea and coffee is good even my diabetic wife had plenty of choice. The evening meal starts Buffet Salad which they like you to really help yourself to plenty to show you appreciate and really enjoy Green Beans cooked superb and the Aubergine fried with Olive Oil superb as is the sliced Carrots ect and they have real Olive Oil like when I was in Crete was only 2nd time I ever tasted it that good. The 2nd and 3rd course is Menu and also Dessert but I chose Ice Cream every night as it was delicious and had not had real Italian Ice Cream since my childhood at the Italian Cafe near us. The Reception Staff very helpful always willing to give best advice and their English very good. The cleaning woman a lovely woman who changed our Bedding Towels daily but she spoke no English but rooms clean. This Hotel in a great location lovely Beach 10 min down the hill opposite and spoiled for Shops Supermarkets Restaurants Pubs ect great location. My only negative was no Sea view but I am not sure if you was on the top floor at the front if you could see it but we was at the back with a nice little Veranda and you have Shutter Doors with Curtains so can air the room and keep out Mosquitos. Overall I had a very good holiday here and would highly recommend it.

“Sorrento”

Very strange hotel. Rooms are large but dated. Huge flush to the toilet which was green,pink & white tiles! Shower worked OK.Bed comfortable.

Very strange hotel. Rooms are large but dated. Huge flush to the toilet which was green,pink & white tiles! Shower worked OK.Bed comfortable. The walls were very thin as someone has already said.The doors to the balcony needed painted. Food was OK, 4 choices of every course at the evening meal. Roof terrace was a real find with comfortable loungers & great views across the bay to Vesuvius. The Jacuzzi was dirty & not working as the maintenance guy said.This hotel has lots of coach trips so beware of that. You can't use cash to pay for drinks,snacks etc. You pay when you leave in cash & for tourist tax.

The hotel is right in the middle of Sorrento near pubs & restaurants ,The staff are Friendly ,The breakfast is good, They do the room every day ,The room has a safety deposit box which is free & a mini bar which is payable ,There is no tea or Coffee facilities ,These are the good points, The bad points are the room was the smallest we have been from a hotel it was approx. 14 foot square ,With a tiny balcony ,The sink never held any water it kept on running away so had to keep running the tap from time to time ,The shower pan was blocked and filled up with water we did get it cleared after a few days, But if you were of a big size you could not get in the shower as the distance when the doors were open was approx. a foot .The evening meal was not that good ,We ate out a few evenings ,I recommend Just bed & Breakfast there is plenty to chose from the Restaurants in the town. There is a 2 euro charge for pool towels ,But we bought our own .We personally would not come hear again as the room was tiny. There is not too many around the pool so no need to rush to put the towels down . Which we don't anyway ,Also the walls are very thin you can hear next door talking & there television Not what there saying ,Also the Television is tiny i would say a 24 inch screen, Most of the channels are not English ,This is Italy ,No British channels not that we watch TV only when having a shower in the evening. I personally never heard the traffic but we spoke to a couple who said they could hear it through the thin walls they had trouble getting to sleep i had no trouble sleeping,, The hotel needs a bit of TLC , You don't get much for the evening meals as they are small . There are a few toiletries in the bathroom ,There is a tourist tax of 7 euros a day .There is no water in the room you have to buy your own .
