Residence Villaggio Verde

Just spent a week here, intend returning in the future. A very laid back, relaxing holiday. The staff were lovely, very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt like family, something very lacking last year in Madeira. It's peaceful and relaxing, a short walk downhill into Sorrento where all the restaurants and shops are. There are takeaways along the route so you can grab a snack which we did a few times. Breakfast is continental, buffet style and the pool bar serves snacks which are really good. A lovely setting, 5 mins walk to a local market. We had a lovely time, thankyou!

We went here in late July/early August for 2 weeks and just had the most fantastic holiday going. This hotel is well located, being a 5 minute walk down the hill, to the main square in Sorrento. The walk back up, is a challenge. If you are old/unfit/drunk then it's advisable to get a cab back up (the last 50 yards are tough) But that's where the negatives end. This hotel is a family run business and the staff cannot do enough for you. You'll have seen on other reviews here, that they get plenty of plaudits, but they don't do them justice. Antonietta and Daniella are the ladies you see the most, and they are two of the most kind hearted and helpful people I've ever come across. They literally could not do enough for you from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Antonietta will book everything for you, give you honest assessments of local restaurants, the reception staff will order takeaways for you, cabs, excursions, dining reservations, the lot. Daniella is a delight to chat to around the bar area, the service is great and the food that you can order for lunch was well priced and tasty. The hotel is a lovely, smallish facility with a real nice, almost bohemian atmosphere around it. The pool area is lovely. The sunbeds are 5 euros for the day, and the deck chairs are free. The pool itself is perfect to laze around in, and when we went, it was practically warm. The bungalow/lodges are perfect for what you need. They are not new, but they are clean and functional and we had a lovely balcony terrace overlooking orange and lemon groves, that we spent a lot of time on, playing cards, drinking wine and reminiscing about the day. My partner turned 50 while we were there and we got engaged the same day. Once again, the staff were amazing. Balloons, Champagne, and they sorted out a wonderful restaurant for us in the evening with live music and gorgeous food. We did all the excursions possible, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Positano, Amalfi, Vesuvious et al. It was warm. We went in July. What did we expect. But they were all incredible and well worth the money. There are lots of fabulous restaurants locally, and despite decent reviews elsewhere, personally I'd avoid the Foreigners Club. Overrated. Overpriced. Sorrento is beautiful. You can spend money there. But we went with the attitude that you only live once. It was a fabulous holiday, in a great venue, and Antonietta, Daniella, Roberto etc, if you every read these reviews, just know that you made our two weeks there, the happiest of occasions and we will never forget you.

We've just spent a week here and would definitely return. A very chilled out, relaxing holiday in a gorgeous setting. The staff were lovely, chatty and friendly and so helpful. It's so calm surrounded by trees and plants. We didnt stay in the hotel, we stayed in a wooden bungalow which had a small kitchen and a private terrace so were able to prepare food and eat outside. The accommodation is only a short walk downhill into Sorrento where all the restaurants and shops are. We loved it.
