“Villaggio Verde Gave Us Memories to last a lifetime”
My husband and I got married in Sorrento on 06 June 2011 which was the most incredible experience. From day one we wanted all our 40 guests of family and close friends to stay in the same accommodation which would not be an expense on them since they made the effort to travel and lets face it Sorrento Hotels can be pricey, so we took it upon ourselves to organise this. Through tripadvisor I came accross self catering Villaggio and from the first moment I contacted them until the day of our departure they could not have done more for us. Their self catering bungalows were perfect for my husband, myself and our 2 children, each and everyone of our guests were satisfied with every aspect of their stay at Villaggio. The bungalows were spotless and cleaned every day, we all congregated around the pool every morning and evening for drinks and snacks and felt so welcomed and taken care of by Daniella, Francesco and their staff. On the day of our wedding they supplied us with anything we needed and Daniella even helped do the boys ties. If spa treatments and servants are your thing then this is not the place for you, but if you want to experience true Italian charm, hospitality, serenity and make memories with family and friends then this is definately the place for you. Roll on our first anniversary so we can go back.

Very friendly staff and very clean comfortable accomodation though self catering equipment was very basic. (Think Centre Parcs Italian style). Pool was spot-less. We found breakfast very nice but evening food was very limited and pizzas were obviously microwaved (so eat just down the hill at Le Macine! - fantastic). Mosquitos are a problem all over the area so this isn't the hotel's fault. The orange and lemon trees really added to the atmosphere - this is a hotel to read and relax in but you make your own entertainment - there is no bar in the evening. The hill made us fitter and we felt it was value for money. Do any excursions on the Circumvesuviana or book directly in the harbour. Local bus services to Positano and Amalfi are easy and frequent. We had a great fortnight.

villaggio verde is really nice , a little hideaway, we were really impressed with the people in reception ,they went out of their way to help us,the lady looking after the breakfast was very friendly and helpful, the young man waiting on the tables in the evening was great too ,also the ladies and gentlemen looking after the pool were really good to us and took interest in my friends children,they were polite and etertaining to talk to ,
all in all we had a great time there and would recomend it for the price, and the rooms and ammenities were of high standard, but more so because the staff makes you want to come back

use the wifi at the pool while having a cappucino

“A little piece of the REAL Italy”
This is a charming little hotel / chalet complex tucked away just up a hill from Sorrento town centre. If you want to experience the REAL Italy come here, if you want a concrete complex with no character whatsoever then go elsewhere. Plus points are the staff - brilliant and attentive when required, the pool area - always a shady part and cleanliness rules are rightly enforced by the staff, the location - ignore any posts about the " steep hill ", its not a problem and it's 10 mins to Sorrento town centre but only 2 mins to a couple of cracking restaurants and bars . More plus points? The air con in our chalet was brilliant and as the chalets are all shaded by vines/ lemon groves etc you just dont need to worry about it, we hardly used it. Rooms were cleaned pretty much daily. Negative points - the chalets are, as people have suggested a tad dark but this is NOT the Ritz and the price you pay reflects that, our shower leaked but isn't that part of the charm?? Overall great accomodation which is perfect for families

This is a delightful, family run hotel situated at the top of a hill about 15 minutes walk from Piazzo Tasso - the walk gets quicker the more often you do it! The whole complex nestles under chestnut pergolas dripping with citrus fruit and figs, the family are warm and friendly and the rooms are clean and very comfortable. Our ensuite was the largest we've ever had in Italy! We stayed on a B&B basis, breakfast included an assortment of the usual continental dishes plus gorgeous home-made cakes. Meals could be bought at lunch and I recommend the bruschetta. The pool area is small and the owners ensure that the hygiene requirements and swimming pool rules are adhered to, I was impressed with this atttention to detail but may not suit families with "lively" children. A perfect holiday.

Rooms have adequate storage and tiled floors, no views because under pergola. Very quiet at night.

What a peacefull oasis near the centre of Sorrento! Staff were helpfull in every way (grazie for the ice packs for my sore knee). Quiet and clean. Minor complaints - bring bug spray! To management - you need to improve the pizza! :) Love this place and hope to see you again.

We - my husband and I and our two kids age 4 and 7 - were at Villagio Verde from 25th of July untill the 5th of August 2011.

We have stayed in a bungalow. The bungalow was situated in a sort of a jungle garden! The garden was very nice: there were trees with lemons and tangerines, frens and hydrangeas. And we have a lot of shadow, that was very nice as well after we have layed down by the pool or have done an excursion (in the sun) on our own. The bungalow itself was fine: airco, good beds - which I find very important - a bedroom for us with a tv and a safe, for the children in the common room two beds and at night there was a curtain to give them some privacy. And what I also wanted te say is that there was a lot of storage in cabinets with drawers. The bathroom was fine and each day we have had clean towels and there where ladies to clean the bungalow every day! The kitchen was ok, there was a keramic hob where you can cook on two hobs. When you keep it simple, you can cook your meals on your own. We did that as well. What I also find very nice, especialy when you have kids like we do, is that we could use your washing machine-service.

The photos on the website really gives you a good impression of what the bungalow, the swimmingpool and the garden looks like.

We have really enjoyed our holiday here. Our two kids enjoyed it as well. They liked the swimmingpool that was clean and also the sanitay near the pool was very clean. The swimmingpool was accessible for our youngest one who can't swim yet and for our older child.

For our children this was a different holiday because we did a lot of excursions with them instead of only laying by the pool. We went by our rental car to vistit the Vesuvius, Pompei, Herculaneum. We did the Almaficoast and Massa Lubrense by car to get an impression, and to Naples by train. From Sorrento these are reasonable distances.

We have really enjoyed our holiday at Villagio Verde! Not only because we find this area very lovely: we where in the middle of the Italian people! But also because of you! We find you very nice, friendly, helpfull people! We certainly recommend Villagio Verde to everyone!! Ciao!!
