“Lovely place, bit out of town”

Villaggio Verde

18 Mar 2008

I stayed in the Hotel part not in the cabins, had a wonderul time. The owners and staff go to great lengths to make sure everyone enjoys their stay. The breakfast buffet was ok, pretty average, but the dinner was gorgeous. There is an Al á carte menue which has everything from homade pasta to steaks, fresh seafood and pizzas oh and the chef makes a 'special' dessert every day- yum.
The only downside is thats its a bit of a walk to the centre of sorrento however I think the hotel does run a shuttle service but i not sure how frequenti it is.

“Nice Clean Cabins”

We stayed in one of the cabins, which was very large; two single beds, master bedroom with queen sized bed, 'full' bathroom with shower and bath tub, kitchen with stove top and fridge and a safety deposit box in the unit.. The cabin was clean and very comfortable.

There was a rooster in the area who would start crowing before 3 in the morning and did not stop. Do not expect a good sleep in these cabins with this rooster crowing!!

There is a pool on site, regrettably we were unable to use it as it is closed at 6:00pm. The 2nd night we were there we asked one the employees if the pool was open on Sunday at 5:30 when we came back from a hot day at Capri, we were told that it was closed. We went down to the pool area for a drink and found that it was still open!! Even with all the rules and regulations they have regarding the use of the pool we still could have done everything they requested and still used the pool that day. You have to see the list of rules and regulations they have for you to read and follow before using this pool. It really is unbelievable..

The hotel is 1,000 metres from city centre, a steep walk with no side walks for most of the way up, and very poor lighting at night . You really have to watch the scooters/motorcycles, they drive with no concern for themselves or anyone else. And they don't respect the stop signs or traffic lights. TRAVEL TRIP watch out for all traffic in Italy!!

We really enjoyed Sorrento and Capri . If you are looking for a very nice restaurant in Sorrento, with a great view, go to the Foreigners' Club. You will not be disappointed. See pictures.

“Good but not great”

Villaggio Verde

22 Oct 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Like many reviews of the Villagio Verde we had mixed feelings about the place.

First of the plus things:

Great setting. Very atmospheric, the lemons and oranges growing over head add a lovely shade and character to the site.
Helpful friendly staff. Family run.
Cabins and grounds were clean, not spotless but adequate.
Plenty of clean towels every day.
Nice area outside each cabin with table, chairs and hammock.
We were self catering but went to the weekly gala meal (we're both vegetarian). The food and service were exceptional.
You're near some nice 'local' shops.

The not so good:

The cabins are small. Not to the point of being cramped but there was only two of us, if there had been four it would have been impossible.
The kitchen is poorly stocked. Very little cutlery. Not much crockery. Two rings, no oven or microwave. We did have a kettle but the flex was too short to reach the socket! You had to balance the kettle on a box.
The noise. A very common complaint but it is noisy. Dogs, scooters and cockerels, you'll hear them all. We stayed in May so it was cool enough to keep the windows closed at night and you could still hear it all. I'm not sure why the hotel gardener needs to drive his 3 wheeler up and down past the cabins at 6 in the morning. Every day!
The location. It isn't awful but if you're not too active or have young children then it's not the place for you. Its only a 15 minute stroll into town and it is a moderately steep hill back but the section nearest the hotel has no pavements and can get very busy, especially when they close the town centre at 7pm.

Other things to note:

There are some strict, but fair, rules for use of the swimming pool. Screaming children will not be tolerated.
The satellite TV in the rooms cost extra (15 euros a week).
Sunbed and deck chair hire is also charged.

In conclusion:

We enjoyed our stay at the Villagio Verde but once was enough. I would recommend it but with reservations. Sorrento itself was lovely and the area charming. I will go back one day but not for a few years.

“Spolied by Noise”

Villaggio Verde

2 Oct 2007

Like other reviewers, my main complaint about Villagio Verde is the noise - dogs, mopeds, cockrels you name it. It seemed incessant at all hours of the day and night. I came home absolutely wrecked and needing another holiday! The walk up to the hotel is also very steep and a bit scary at night - poorly lit, no foothpats and crazy Italian drivers are a bad combination! We were also let down by the hotel staff who were due to pick us up at the train station but never showed (when I queried what happend I was told that "he must have forgotten"). The charge for the sunbeds is also a total rip off.

On the plus side, the setting is beautiful and the cabins are very spacious. They were also very kind in dropping us back to the train station the morning we were leaving.

Overall though, would not stay here again and would not recommend it.

“Good but noisy at night”

4 of 5 stars

2/2 found this review helpful

Like other reviewers, we found some aspects of staying here really excellent, but there were some major downsides too. The family who run the place are exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the layout is like a tropical jungle, with lemons, grapes and bananas growing overhead. this keeps the temperatures bearable without the use of the (supplied) air conditioning.
We stayed in one of the "cabins", and while it was great to be so self-contained, we had serious noise problems at night. As others have said, there is a lot of noise from dogs - or one dog anyhow. We investigated and found that it was a guard dog in the premises next door, which barked regularly and nosily day and night, when disturbed. On the other side - right next door to us - was some sort of rooster, whose watch was broken, as it started crowing at around 3.30 am and kept it up until lunchtime the next day.
Then there's an access road which runs parallel to the site, and which has regular traffic of smelly and noisy 2 stroke scooters and Piaggio vans. All in all, not a place to come for a quiet break!
The cabins were oddly equipped, and we had 2 giant saucepans but no small ones, so I had to make a boiled egg every morning in a teapot! We also had no electric kettle until we asked for one, and made tea the first 2 mornings by running water through a drip coffee maker.
The other big issue is the position. The place is about 500 meters from the centre, but as others have noted, there is a steep hill, used by a lot of traffic, and there is no footpath. The side of the road, where you walk, is potholed and dangerous to walk on. Taxis are available, but the cost of a ride from the centre of town (500 mtrs, remember) is a ridiculous 15 Euro (£11 sterling).
If this all sounds a bit like the blitz, it isn't meant to, because the place is very scenic. Just don't expect everything to be "just so", and don't expect to sleep a lot at night. This is not a place for the elderly or infirm either, if they want to go out.
