Avis Villa Sara with private pool

The property was beautiful, everything was clean, the pool was excellent with stunning views. We would have appreciated basics in the kitchen like oil and salt. The property isn’t particularly accessible from Sorrento, the drive directly to the property was a challenging walk. Overall we loved our stay.

On a positive note: the views from the house were spectacular. The house is about two football fields up a hill on a 35 degree angle. Only very small cars can get up to the house so no taxi can drop you off at the door. You have to walk up that hill. We were under the impression that the owners would be accommodating and bring us up and down when needed as they were on property. They only were available on arrival and departure. The house is dated. The bathroom had a narrow tub that you stood on the rounded edge to shower and the shower head set low, not for anyone tall. The other bathroom had a “shower” with drain in the floor where everything in the bathroom would get wet while trying to shower. We were given 4 towels for 4 people for a week. We had to ask for more towels. To get to and from the villa it would cost $35 euros each way to town. The taxis were very expensive. The property manager arranged car service for us (as they offered it) and it was a family member, not a taxi company and yet we still paid top end pricing. We were traveling with people who had difficulty going up the hill and to even bring in groceries was an issue.

Beautiful place - an unbelievable view from every space on the property. The property description is accurate. The outside space is incredible - so many places to hang out. Sara and Pepe are very accommodating and an adorable couple! Be warned - it is a very long and steep way up to the villa. Taxis will not drive up to drop you off - if you rent a car, it will need to be a very small one. That said, Sara and Pepe are able to assist for the most part. At check in and departure, there is assistance to get your luggage up to and back down the giant hill/driveway. Everything was very clean, bright and cheerful. This was a mom and daughter get-a-way where we stayed 5 nights in Sorrento - very peaceful and relaxing. (The next five nights were in Rome - fun, but really missed the Sara Villa views!) Suggestions for improvement of the property include - blankets for the beds, a toaster, better cutlery, more silverware and drinking glasses (wine, water etc). We were able to manage, but if you have more than four people, you will struggle with the lack of glasses and silverware. Overall - 5 stars - and if it works to visit Sorrento again, I will try to stay here for at least part of the trip.

The property was exactly as described. It is in a beautiful quiet setting and a short taxi ride from downtown. Davide was available whenever we had any questions. And Peppe and Sara were like family to my daughter and her friends. It was a wonderful stay.

Villa Sara was an absolutely stunning find, the views from the pool terrace were simply breathtaking. The pool itself was perfect spotlessly clean and the perfect temperature. Be aware however that it is deep so worth noting if you have small children but perfect for us. The villa owners Peppe and Sara are simply the nicest people you could ever meet, they were amazing hosts giving us coffee and goodies from the garden on a regular basis. The villa is at the top of a steep hill and may be a problem if you have mobility issues as only a very small car can climb the narrow road. Peppe and Sara however are always happy to run you up and down whenever required, especially when you have shopping or luggage. There is plenty of safe parking at the bottom of the hill as well which was handy for us with a hire car. The house is wonderful with big balconies and picture windows framing the perfect view. We were there for my sons wedding and the night before the main even Peppe and Sara there a pizza party for us which was just perfect and my son really appreciated it. A beautiful villa amazing views and wonderful hosts, what more could you want? Davide and his team were also really helpful arranging cars for the wedding for us and were always on the end of the phone if needed. Very highly recommended
