The location was perfect, the Villa is in the center of Sorrento, easy walking to the waterfront. The yard is beautiful and a welcome break from the crowds. The Villa is a home away from home, very excited to return at the end of each day

Delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay. We would absolutely love to welcome you back again in the future.
Perfect location in the heart of Sorrento. Great communication from the owner before , during, and at checkout. Beautiful villa. We were an older party in Sorrento for a family wedding, so the quiet environment was just what we needed, while being 100yds from the bustling old town.
Our 10 family members could not have asked for a more beautiful setting, a more perfect home. The house sits in a park like setting, just steps from historic Sorrento. In spite of it's city position, it is totally private, peaceful and quiet. Anastasia, the manager, handles any small problems that arise. She is unobtrusive, yet quickly and efficiently available. She is also happy to advise on restaurants and activities. In short, this was a very memorable family trip. I have no hesitation in recommending it highly.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind review. Anastasia and I loved helping you both before and during your stay. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Our family time at the Villa La Contessina in Sorrento was a complete success! I rented the Villa for a month and the location was perfect for walking to the historic center, eating at nearby restaurants and touring trips in every direction. I can not say enough nice things about the property manager and staff. Every request was met with prompt attention and excellence. We have stayed in several villas along the Amalfi Coast and this one gave us much more flexibility in going places. I highly recommend the property. js

It was an absolute pleasure to host you. I am thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope that we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
This villa was not only stunning with all of the traditional Italian tiling and unbelievably beautiful grounds, it was also in the best possible location for easy access to everything you may want to do on a trip to Sorrento. It was just steps from restaurants and shops and a short walk to the steps down to the port and beach clubs. I stayed here with my family during my wedding week and got incredible bridal party pictures the morning of the wedding. I will say that the beds are very firm but this is far outweighed by the rest of the property being perfect for a group stay. The villa manager was also extremely responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this property to anybody planning a trip to Sorrento and the beautiful Amalfi Coast!

About the host
Hosted by Jo Mackay (Bookings For You Ltd)
I am a mother with 2 young children, age 8 & 11 and a very busy husband! I gave up work with Procter and Gamble 8 years ago to spend time at home with the children. I have loved being able to spend so much time with them. However, with both children now at school, I was keen to start working again. I initially enjoyed managing two of our own holiday properties in the Italian Lakes which we bought in 2008 and 2009 following our first visit to the area in 2007. However, I have now started to manage holiday homes for others, not just in the Italian Lakes, but elsewhere in Italy through my website - I carefully select each property and ensure that I maintain that personal but professional service level that I believe holidaymakers are looking for.
