What a beautiful spot on the planet. The view from our room over Marina Grande, The Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius was spectacular. Our host Antonio was awesome and his restaurant was perfect for us. It was a great location for us to explore the Amalfi Coast. We visited Capri, Positano, and Pompei. Thank you for letting us stay in the Yellow Mansion. It was a nice home away from home in Sorrento.
We loved staying here, this was a great location overlooking Marina Grande in a much quieter part of Sorrento. The owner Antonio was a great host, very friendly and accommodating, he also has a restaurant down below ( O’Puledrone ) that had fantastic food, we ate there twice it was so good. We would highly recommend staying here for the convenient location and great views of the bay.
A brilliant location directly in front of the small beach of Marina Grande and surrounded by the many restaurants. We just wanted a place to stop, which we found and often sat outside on the balcony with the table in between (hint, use one of the books on the bookshelf to balance the table).
This apartment deserves 5 stars for its location, the view from our breakfast table, the feeling of being safe, the cleanliness, abundance of hot water, the efficiency of its shower and the warmth of Antonio’s greeting .You should note that that the apartment only offers basic cooking facilities - it would benefit from a mixing bowl, a couple of new mugs, a sharp kitchen knife and some weighing scales . Also, the apartment has old style three pin plugs which our European 2 pin adapters did not fit - luckily there was one adapter in a cupboard and we were able to use adapters from the hairdryer and kettle . The flush for the toilet was a challenge …. It had to be pumped many times to work and appeared to not operate during the night . There are a few short flights of steps to the apartment to consider and the walk into central Sorrento is uphill but nothing too strenuous . There are plenty of good restaurants on the doorstep - we only ate at O’Puledrone, which was excellent. There is a convenience store literally next door with everything you might need. There was a bit of confusion about a 100Euro breakages deposit beforehand and the links sent for the balance payment were not live which caused some angst but these were minor issues which did not detract from a beautiful stay. Hope to return

Thank you for your 5 star review - we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Al Mare Apartment in Sorrento. We always take guest's feedback seriously as we pride ourselves on offering excellent accommodation.
We believed that these items in the kitchen were available at the apartment but thank you for letting us know so we can double check for future guests.
The plugs are normal for Italy and this is why we provide an adapter - just in case.
Thank you for letting us know about the toilet - we will look into this. Previously guests, who have already stayed this season, did not seem to have any problems. However, we will get this checked.
Since you booked via VRBO, all the payments were managed by them but everything was fine our end.
We hope you visit the area again and we look forward to welcoming you.
Great property in a perfect location for us - just a few steps to the beach, Ristorante O’Puledrone (apartment owner’s restaurant) only 100 meters away, little convenience store downstairs.
Three flights of stairs to the apartment but the view from the perfect little balcony makes it worthwhile. Antonio’s hospitality in O’Puledrone was amazing, he couldn’t do enough for us.
Have done many rental properties and this was a highlight.

We are so pleased that our property was a highlight for you as we really pride ourselves on this. We would love to welcome you again in the future.
The location is superb, you can’t get any closer to the Marina Grande waterfront than this! The accommodations were simple and clean, no frills but very comfortable. One should be aware that the apartment is up three flights of stairs which wasn’t a problem for us but might be if you have limitations. Also, be aware that there is no Wi-Fi :)
Antonio and his family were wonderful and we had a fantastic time!

Thank you, Michele, for your feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Al Mare apartment in Sorrento. The number of steps is stated on the advert as, like most properties on the Sorrento seafront, there is no lift.
As stated on the advert, there is WIFI at Antonio's restaurant, which you can use free of charge, without purchasing anything at the restaurant which is located a stone's throw away from Al Mare apartment. We are hoping to install WIFI at the apartment itself soon.
We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
We stayed at a few places on our honeymoon and no place made us feel more taken care of than this one. Antonio and Alfonso were there for our every need. I am not being hyperbolic at all when I say that the moment sincr meeting Antonio at O'Puledrones our honeymoon got significantly better (and it was pretty great to start with). If you are considering staying here let me convince you it's a great idea. Not to mention the amazing view from the room, the great location on the docks and a warm, welcoming host. Thank you, Antonio!! We hope to see you again soon
I stayed at the apartment with 3 of my friends and it was a great experience. Antonio and his family are extremely friendly and helpful, we visited their restaurant multiple times during our 2 week trip and enjoyed each meal. The apartment is clean and represented well. We stayed there during a heat wave in the area and we were provided with fans. I would highly recommend staying here as it is in a calmer area of town and only takes about 10/15 min walk to the main square. I would keep in mind that there is no wifi at the apartment and only at the restaurant which is about 200m away from the apartment.
This is a great place to stay with family/friends and would urge anyone going to sorrento to stay here!!

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you loved Al Mare apartment, its location and our services. Yes, as stated on the advert, the WIFI is approximately 100 metres from the apartment but is available free of charge. We look forward to welcoming you again.
The apartment was roomy and very clean. The glassware could be updated to include some wine glasses (!) but overall it had everything we needed. The location in the smaller harbor (not the big harbor that ferry boats and larger tours use) has some good restaurants and a little market. It's pretty quiet. No AC but has an occilating fan and good cross breezes so we were comfortable during our mid-September stay. Be prepared to walk up stairs as the apartment is on the third floor. We did a lot of walking up from the apartment into the main part of Sorrento but we felt safe there, even later at night. All in all a great stay!

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Al Mare Apartment. We will provide more wine glasses. It is a shame that you didn't mention this at the time as we would have brought you some more during your stay. As you say there is no air conditioning and the apartment is located on 3rd floor - which is stated in the advert and the price reflects this. As you said, the sea breeze is enough and there is no need for air conditioning. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay in the Marina Grande apartment from the first day of our vacation to the last. We loved having a spot to enjoy our morning coffees and evening wine by the sea. The apartment was a great place to enjoy time away from the busier parts of Sorrento. While we did walk to the city center many times (20 minutes) to shop, eat, tour, ferry- we could have stayed in Marina Grande for the week and been completely happy. We only cooked a hot meal in the apartment once. While there were sufficient tools to do so, it was small- we were on vacation so were just happy to have use of the fridge, stove (no oven), and sink. The small washer was great- we used a couple of times and it really made it easy to pack light! Light fabric dried easy on the drying rack. There is a fully stocked market below the apartment with a deli, several restaurants, a nearby cafe, gifts, boating information, beach chairs for rent, etc., The people of Marina Grande are amazing- friendly and hard working. We took a taxi from the train station to the apartment, and communication (use WhatsApp) was easy with the property manager who works in a nearby family restaurant (O'Puledrone). We ate there several times, the food was delicious and fresh. We enjoyed cold beverages after a day of walking/ touring there as well! We so look forward to returning.

Thank you, Jen, for your lovely words and positive comments. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our property and that you are planning to return. We would love to welcome you again.
This apartment is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Sorrento. It is located in Marina Grande, a small secluded bay. Many restaurants were available on the beach with the freshest seafood imaginable.
The apartment was great. The best part for us was being able to keep the patio door open at night to enjoy the breeze and hear the surf of the ocean.
Check in was easy. Alfonso was in regular contact with us. Antonio his manager was very welcoming and answered all our questions.
We would definitely stay here again.
Comfortable apartment right on the water in Marina Grande. Beautiful view of Mt Vesuvius. Fun, energy filled area day and night. Lots of restaurants and a store just steps from the apartment. The doors open to the balcony and you can move the table and chairs. We enjoyed many drinks and charcuterie boards while watching the active beach below and sunsets from our balcony. The apartment does not have A/C but we were fine with the sea breeze and a fan. Surprisingly there weren’t any mosquitoes and we slept with the doors open and listened to the waves. There are 59 steps up the the apartment (my daughter counted) but we found it doable for the week we were there. Property manager Antonio was very helpful.
It was a great experience.
We will recommend your place

It was a pleasure to host you both. You are well-traveled people who appreciated everything that was offered. Easy to communicate with and left the house immaculate. We would look forward to having them stay again in the future at Al Mare Apartment in Sorrento.
This property has all mod cons, It is in a beautiful location, with stunning views , beautiful restaurants . We arrived at Antonio's restaurant to get the keys and it was seamless. We paid our deposit and Antonio's uncle escorted us to the apartment and helped us with our luggage as we had quite a few steps to climb.. The apartment is located practically on the beach and beside quite a few restaurants. It has all mod cons and was spotlessly clean. I could not fault it in any way and would have no hesitation in recommending it for a holiday. We will definitely be back here again. Mile Grazie,

Just OK
The apartment was what I expected. Yes it was "Luminous" because the french doors open to the sea view. It's on the 3rd floor - no elevator. The view was spectacular! Antonio (the owner) was just great. His restaurant was marvelous. He needs to drop Naples Villas because of extremely high booking fees.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you liked the property and that you had a fantastic time at our apartment by Sorrento seafront. It is shame that you have mentioned the booking fees as these were all clear before you booked. More importantly, these extra fees are added by Home Away/VRBO and are therefore out of our control. So we didn't charge you but Home Away/VRBO did. Like for you, as for future guests, all the costs are clearly stated before proceeding with the booking.

Great location, and space. Can be better equipped.
The apartment is right on the beach, and fairly spacious for a family of 4. Lacks in some essentials, like some basic kitchen items, WiFi, towels, ... In general it was a great place and Antonio took good care of us.

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Al Mare Apartment in Sorrento. The fact that there is no WIFI is clearly stated on the advert and was also stated at the time of booking before you paid. We did, however, provide it free of charge using the WIFI from the restaurant below (as agreed at the time of booking). It is a shame that you didn't ask if you were missing any kitchen utensils as Antonio would have provided these. We provided 2 sets of towels per person even though you only stayed for 4 nights. The problem was that you took the bath towels to the beach and therefore you didn't have enough towels to use at the property. Bath towels were provided not beach towels as clearly stated on the advert. Unfortunately, this also meant that we had to throw away the bath towels as they got ruined at the beach.

Bay view stay in Sorrento
The apartment was perfect for our needs. It had everything we needed and it was a joy to get up every morning to open the balcony doors to the fabulous view of the bay and Mt. Vesuvius. The Grand Marina has everything one might need for an extended stay within 200 feet of the apartment. For shopping or more exotic fare, downtown is a short walk up the hill. We would stay at this property again in a heartbeat!

Quaint Marina Grande
The apartment in Marina Grande was, clean, convenient, you'll feel like one of the locals, and Mamma Mia, does it have a breathtaking view. Marina Grande is a wonderful place to stay, although there are many restaurants in the area, it is a rather quiet location. So many wonderful views out the window, Mt. Vesuvius, small fishing boats, many bright colors & a stone path up to the main street in Sorrento. It may seem a little out of the way, but it is just minutes from everything that is going on in Sorrento. Antonio, who oversees the rental, owns a restaurant, just steps away from the apartment. He is very accommodating and charming. His restaurant is a fisherman's cooperative and the fish is so fresh and his dishes wonderful. Try the white fish with tomato - best I've ever had.
The day of departure I felt saddened that I had to leave. You'll enjoy Marina Grande, the sidewalk cafe's, the many wonderful restaurants, from casual to a little more uptown, you can find just what you are looking for. Enjoy!

We had truly wonderful time in Sorrento
We met the local manager at his family's restaurant to sort everything out on arrival. He speaks fantastic English and made the whole family feel welcome. We were shown to the apartment which was just a 2 minute walk from the restaurant. It is located in an apartment bloke on the sea front. The locals always said hello and asked after the kids for the whole week. The apartment was spacious and clean. I would describe it as classic Italian. No frills but functional. Sometimes in Italy I have found the bathrooms to be not as good as the rest of the property. That is not the case here. It is more than acceptable. The Bed in the master bedroom was comfortable and our kids never complained about the sofa bed once. Without doubt the best thing about the apartment is the views from the balcony. You get a wonderful mixture of noise from the sea and atmosphere from the restaurants below. If we wanted to go to sleep we simply shut the door and it was quiet. It really is a great apartment. The local manager and his family made us feel very welcome all week. I cannot speak highly enough of them

Picturesque quaint fishing marina beach apartment
The property was clean and well maintained with a magnificent sea breeze and beach front view for experiencing first hand the local culture. The property owner provided great customer service during our stay, helping make us feel very welcome answering many questions and making good recommendations for nearby activities and attractions. We loved our evening visits to their quaint family owned and operated restaurant. The fresh catch of the day was always delicious and we appreciated the great company as well as the meal discounts! Thank you Antonio and family for going the extra mile to make our visit memorable and special. We highly recommend your apartment when sharing with friends and family our wonderful vacation experience in Sorrento. We look forward to coming again and taking your brother up on the offered fishing excursion.
