This property was one of the best places we have stayed in. It is within walking distance to the train station for easy access to Sorrento and Pompeii. The property was clean, spacious and had the most amazing views. Communication with the host was excellent. Parking was located close to the property. It was a ten to fifteen minute walk down to the beach.

Our family of 5 had an amazing stay at this beautiful home. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the living area and terrace were absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. The AC worked great, even in the August heat. The location was lovely in a quiet little town but with very easy access to the train to get to Sorrento and pompeii. We even walked to the beach one day and had a great day in the water. A highlight was the cooking class with the family that owns the property, everything was delicious and they were so friendly and gracious. We w!ouldn't hesitate to book again

We enjoyed our stay overall. The location was very convenient, with easy access to both the train station to Sorrento and the beaches in Meta, making it a great base for exploring the area. One of our favorite features was the outdoor patio, where we spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views.The washing machine was also a nice amenity and made our stay more comfortable. The beds were quite firm, which may be a positive for guests who prefer a harder mattress, though they were firmer than our personal preference.Overall, this is a well-located property with great outdoor space and scenic views.

A Perfect Italian Stay!Our stay at this beautiful Meta home was absolutely unforgettable. The home itself is the quintessential Italian home-charming, comfortable, full of character. It’s centrally located, just a short walk to the train station making it easy to explore.What truly made our stay special was the incredible family who owned the home. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even having a cooking class that is one of our favorite memories from the trip. The hospitality, warmth and attention to detail were unmatched.If you are looking for an authentic experience that captures the heart of the Amalfi Coast, stay here. We can’t recommend it enough.

Meta review

The place was great and as shown on the site. It was very clean set up very well with all items that we needed. We did not cook but the kitchen was well stocked if we had. The train station is within a few blocks which is great as it allowed us to go to Sorrento, Pompeii, etc. Sitting on the patio and watching the sunsets which were magnificent was one of our favorite things. Would definitely stay here again!!

Beautiful Apartment

This apartment is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. The coffered ceilings and orange groves are enchanting. We had a little trouble finding the parking, Meta does not have great cell coverage. I also wish the heat had been working, it was Christmas week and my 85-year old mother was uncomfortable without it.

Thank you for your feedback; we always take comments very seriously and look to improve. I am not sure what you mean by the parking. If you mean the parking for Casa Dorotea, it is a few minutes away from the apartment. We have never been informed before that the mobile phone coverage in Meta di Sorrento is a problem. We are sorry if you found this to be the case but I am sure that you can appreciate, we cannot control the mobile phone networks. It is a shame that you didn't inform us about the heating as we could have looked into why and arranged for it to be resolved if there was a problem. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Dorotea and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

Beautiful Property with Fabulous Views in a Great Location

We stayed at Casa Dorotea May 20-26. It was a wonderful property and Lorenza was a fabulous host. We arrived late evening and she met us and helped us get settled. She and her family have lived at Casa Dorotea for generations and the property was very well cared for. She gave us restaurant recommendations and tips on how to get to Sorrento which was 4 miles away (like taking the train vs. the bus). We absolutely loved the patio and would spend our nights sitting outside taking in the views and talking about our day and planning our next. In the morning, we would wake up to the birds singing sweet songs to us, and we enjoyed the smell of the flowers and lemons as we would sip our coffee on the patio. Overall, one of the most fabulous places we've ever stayed at and hope to be able to vacation there again!! Dave and Kristi Laufenberg

Your beautiful description of mornings filled with birdsong and evenings spent on the patio truly captures the spirit of the place. We're so glad you enjoyed the garden, the views, and the local tips Lorenza shared. We would be thrilled to welcome you back anytime. You're always welcome at Casa Dorotea!

Beautiful home

This property was lovely...very spacious and decorated impeccably! One issue was ants...they were all over our bed and bathroom...made a very uncomfortable night's sleep. We purchased ant killer spray, but it didn't do the trick. We contacted host as instructed, but no answer. However, once we contacted VRBO, we were given information and an attempt was made to rectify issue.

Thank you, Kelly, for your feedback. We are really pleased that you loved the property. The property is surrounded by gardens and it was particularly hot during your stay; this is why we do not recommend eating in the bedrooms and also placing the rubbish outside of the apartment regularly rather than leaving it in the kitchen. I am not sure who/what you are referring to when you say that you had no response regarding the ants. It was me, Alfonso, the property manager, who you contacted, not VRBO, and we rectified the issue straight away. I received your message at 8:23 on Monday morning and I replied at 8:25am. Dora, the owner, came to the apartment about 10:30am on the same morning to sort the problem. Dora dealt with the issue on Monday morning and this was resolved; there were no other issues with ants for the rest of your stay. Guests stayed at Casa Dorotea before and after you didn't report any problems with the ants. Usually, guests at our property have an amazing time as shown in the reviews. On your departure, we felt that you enjoyed your holiday. We hope to welcome you again. Grazie mille!

Family stay

Casa Dorotea is a beautiful house to stay in while visiting the Sorrento area. Lorenza and her mother are wonderfully accommodating. They responded very positively by bringing us a space heater as the weather was unseasonably cool for a few days. The house is large and provided plenty of space for our family of 7. The train station is about a 5 minute walk and then it’s a short 7 minute ride into Sorrento. We found the neighborhood quite charming and very typical for Italy. The beach is an easy 20 minute walk. There is a grocery store nearby but its open hours weren’t always convenient. We would definitely recommend Casa Dorotea for anyone planning to explore Sorrento, Pompei, or anywhere in the Campania region.

Great property, quiet location.

Property is great - exactly as described although read carefully - it does have air con but this is just in the bedrooms. The outside terrace is wonderful but the dining room is very exposed to the sun and gets very hot. Fans were needed in the rest of the property. Meta is quiet. There are some restaurants and small shops around but limited number. Some travel widens the choice. Piano is walkable and Sorrento is easily reached by train, the last back is 10pm. The station is conveniently close to visit Pompeii and Vesuvius, and Sorrento, and fares are very cheap. Boats go from Sorrento round the coast or there are buses but roads are windy. Overall would recommend staying here as long as you are happy using the train a fair bit.

We are so pleased that enjoyed your stay at Casa Dorotea and that you liked the location and the facilities. As you mentioned, we provided 2 fans for the lounge area due to the very hot weather during your stay. Also, we have installed air conditioning in the lounge/dining room ready for 2024. Most guests find using the train cheap and enjoyable because it provides a different experience and they do not need to be worried about the traffic and expensive car park costs. We look forward to welcoming you again.

Beautiful spacious apartment

Unexpected extra costs were not apparent up front e.g. €100 for cleaning and having to pay for electricity. This soured out last day. We were told it was a deposit but there was never any intention of giving any back. This makes me sceptical about using you again, and let’s face it there is plenty of competition!

Thank you, Amanda, for taking your time to write feedback about your stay. We are pleased that you found our apartment beautiful and spacious. We always take our guests' reviews seriously. It is a shame that you didn’t take notice of the information as the additional costs were stated, and agreed to, before you made the booking. After booking, we also sent a confirmation email which states all the terms and conditions. Furthermore, you received a confirmation voucher after paying the final balance. The cleaning cost of €100 cleaning was stated in these three documents/emails. It was also stated that the electricity costs are not included; your consumption was only €30 euros for your entire stay. However, from 2024 we will no longer charging extra for the electricity. Thank you again for choosing Casa Dorotea; we hope to welcome you again.

Heaven in Italy

Casa Dorothea was beyond anything I imagined it would be. It was clean, beautifully decorated, the scenery is unbelievable and the access to everything was unlike any other rental property we have stayed at. Checkin was seamless and we met Dora at the entrance to the street. She gave us a tour and was gracious and understanding. We had 4 adults and 2 ,10 year olds and she was more than welcoming. The property itself is stunning, you walk in to the smell of jasmine in the large courtyard with seating. Then you climb the stairs and enter a beautiful home with views that will take your breath away. The train is up the block and you can get to sorrento in 3 short stops(train schedule is not reliable but will always arrive, bus seemed more accurate). The beach and restaurants are within walking distance and Piano di Sorrento is walking distance as well. There is coffee shop that is close to home and opens early. We even left a piece of luggage and they are sending back to the states for us. The A/C worked perfectly huge bonus!!! We can’t wait to return.
