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.
