La Neffola Residence - Sorrento

The grounds of this residence are beautiful! It feels secluded in an otherwise busy tourist town. And the location is still good. We loved the historic buildings, and the inside of our apartment was very nicely renovated and comfortable for our family.

Loved it- the beds were comfortable, with the kids in the kitchen area on a sofa bed which pulled out into 2 single beds with proper mattresses. This meant that we had our own room! We had a key giving us access to a 5 minute pedestrianised walk into Sorrento in order to avoid walking the children down the busy road. The accommodation was clean, and although compact, had everything we needed. And there was a garden area for them to run around. We visited in April, so the adjacent campsite facilties were closed, but later in the season, there is also a swimming pool and cafe area on site. It was very peaceful.

We have nothing but praise for La Neffola.

the bath need remount

We loved staying here. It was a very pleasant atmosphere. We were close to town and transportation but the grounds around our hotel were more like a park. The family that runs the business was friendly and helpful. They are meticulous about cleanliness. The swimming pool may be the cleanest pool I have ever seen. It absolutely sparkles. No shoes are allowed in the pool area! They have a nice little outdoor restaurant area (looking out at Mt Vesuvious) where we had a real breakfast (with eggs). In the evenings they prepare wonderful pizza in their brick oven. The back gate is a super handy shortcut for getting into the main part of Sorrento. We had such a good time shopping, tasting Limoncello, and eating gelato! The gate also made it easy to get to the train and buses.

The only bad thing was the difficulty in getting there. The road there is extremely narrow and the drivers are merciless, so it is quite dangerous to try walking up the main road. We left the train station and got onto a city bus hoping to get off close to the address given for La Neffola Residence. The bus drivers didn't have a clue. Addresses are sometimes difficult to find and as the bus hurried along we were getting concerned. We got off and back on buses 3 times before we had a driver who knew where to let us off! He explained - They know this address as camping nube d'argento. The property has little spots for people who drive RVs and come to camp. La Neffola Residence is on the back side of the property, completely invisible from the road. So when you go... Just ask for the camping location and you'll be fine.

Friendliness of staff, information on all activities given freely.any problem adressed and dealth with immediatelt.ie airconditioning problem dealth with immediately.well kept grounds and facilities.- would like to return and stay again in the future

La Neffola is a classic old residence split into apartments located on a cabin/campsite complex. The facilities within the complex were sensational with everything one might need including a small resturant tratoria for an evening meal. Our apartment was air-conditioned and had sufficent catering facilities to cover anything upto a full meal, this is essential when travelling with children and made the choice between this and lower cost cabin. Sorrento is beautiful esspecially at night, being within very easy walking distance meant we could enjoy the night life fully and have a gentle stroll home.

European/Italian Plumbing - We encountered a minor plumbing problem which led to fowl smells throughout the apartment. This was eventually solved but if one encounters this report it immediately ! Its not unusual to have slow drains and the occassional lingering smell across europe particularly in summer, its not something we'd hold against La Neffola but its worthy noting.

Piero, the manager, was extremely courteous and thoughtful. The location is great. The property is well taken care of and quite a nice getaway on its own although the heart of sorrento is a mere ten minute walk away. The restaurant was also fantastic - the pizza is a must! Its terrace also has a great view of Vesuvius across the bay.

The staff could not do enough for you, great guys.

Could be a bit noisy from traffic noise even though well away from road.

The best word to describe the staff is "gracious". Not a lot of frills but there was a history and charm to Necfola that invites a return. Loved the orchard, easy access to town through a private gate, and the happy atmosphere. The "resort" facilities were that of a campground, but the pool was nice and the restaurant good. Great water pressure for showers. Safe and charming Very special!

Limited wifi. No daily maid service as this was a residencia, not a hotel

Nice and very helpfully staff, great garden and a pleasent pool. The beach and the center of the city is located about 10 min walk.

The garden and the room were superb. The pool and terrace area also were very nice. The pizza was great, must try. The staff was very helpful with a lot of details about where to go in Sorrento. The location was also great, around 5 minutes to the beach or to the center of Sorrento. If you go by car they also have a big parking area.

Difficult to find the residence in Sorrento. No breakfast. Other than this I really recommend La Neffola, is the only place I would stay in Sorrento.

Grounds very buccolic Close to town
