A Sorrento's B&B crown jewel !

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Oct 2024
Our stay at Villa Oriana certainly lived up to the high expectations set by previous reviewers. The location - perched above Sorrento overlooking the Bay of Naples - gives fabulous views, especially from the main and rooftop terraces. The arrangement to use the nearby hotel's regular shuttle service really helped also, as we could enjoy the peaceful setting but also get down to Sorrento and back to suit our plans.

Maria is an exceptional hostess, and is quite rightly proud of the experience that she offers her guests. Her staff added to this by following the same principles - nothing was too much trouble for them. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast - most of it home made using garden produce and Maria's assortment of freshly baked quiches and cakes each day. We'd love to return in the future.

Maria and her team are exceptional hosts. They provide warm and impeccable service and are ever ready to help in every way.
The villa is away from the noise and bustle of everyday city life, in peaceful and meditative surroundings.
Truly a dream destination!

Room tip: If you are reasonably fit a short cut gets you into town ; if not the host has an agreement with a hotel shuttle service.

Our stay at Villa Oriana Relais was a highlight of our trip to Italy. The hotel itself is beautiful built into the hillside above Sorrento. The view from the rooms, the dining room, and the rooftop terrace are spectacular.

The rooms themselves are generously sized. Beds were very comfortable. The patios and balcony were large and private. The amenities in the rooms were well thought out. The Dyson hairdryer was exceptionally nice to have.

The breakfast is a visual and culinary treat. Everything was fresh, colorful and flavorful. Made to order boiled eggs and custom cappuccinos were such a nice touch. When we remarked, teasingly, that we'd like the recipes for the quiche we actually received an email with multiple recipes for the items on the breakfast. Such a nice we to remember our stay.

The staff were friendly and courteous. They created an atmosphere of luxury which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Highly recommend Villa Oriana.

Room tip: Take advantage of the shuttle to get to and from Sorrento. Walking is a bit dicey due to the roads.

The property is absolutely beautiful with amazing views. Our room was clean and bright and quiet. Maria and team were so kind and attentive! The breakfasts were spectacular with the homemade frittata, quiche, and an assortment of freshly baked items daily. So many choices at breakfast! My most favorite things were the Italian cheesecake, and croissants. The cheesecake brought me back to memories of my mother's cheesecake. Thank you so much for making us feel like we were at home in your Villa! We loved our stay!

Room tip: I would suggest coordinating your day with the shuttle times into town if you do not have transportation. In August, dress for comfort!
