A nice place with a homely atmosphere and a beautiful garden. Staff is friendly and shuttle service to go to the town and back works well. Sliding glass door to the bathroom and not adjusting the aircondition temperature were minuses.

Hotel and Staff were amazing. Laura was extremely helpful with navigation and friendly. The free shuttle pick up was a life saver as we were on a tight schedule and honestly lost lot of the time on how to get around.
Would recommend and would definitely stay again.

Such a charming place. Family owned. I traveled solo and felt extremely safe and taken care of. It's a short (complimentary) shuttle drive down to Sorrento main square. Totally perfect if you want a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of it all.

The villa is beautiful and there was lots to love about the place - the staff were friendly and very accommodating, breakfast was great and served in a lovely garden. However, the location is not as advertised on Expedia - it’s definitely not a 10 min walk to the beach. It’s far from any shop, piazza or beach and situated on a road with no pavements that is too dangerous to walk down. There is a shuttle bus, which is absolutely essential as taxis are astronomical. Over lunch, there’s a 3 hour break in the shuttle service, so you need to time your shuttles to the centre wisely and you can end up stuck in the (very expensive, very hot) town centre for a long time if you get it wrong. The room was ok, but very small - our 2 single beds had barely an inch between them and it felt claustrophobic. The pool is lovely, but extremely small (more of a cold plunge than a pool you can swim in) and is right by the entrance, so doesn’t feel terribly private. There’s only a handful of sun loungers and not all of them get the sun. These things were a drawback for us and it was a shame because otherwise it’s a really nice place.

Meget venligt personale - gratis shuttle mange gange dagligt til byen - lækker pool men ville have været lækkert hvis den var opvarmet. Fantastisk udsigt over Middelhavet - rummeligt værelse - god roomservice - hyggelig bar

Loved the breakfast, the staff was always very helpful especially when needing to go into town by shuttle.
It was a beautiful location above Sorrento so we enjoyed the sunsets and peacefulness but it was a bit inconvenient not being able to just walk down to town as easily as we thought. To make up for this, they provided a shuttle and we very helpful whenever we needed to be dropped off or picked up. We also visited and ate at their retaurant and it was delicious. Loved Sorrento. Thank you!

I loved the location. A little outside the busy central streets of Sorrento on a hillside with a view of the sea and the surrounding area. Much fauna and walking area. The property has parking spaces, but offers a scheduled van shuttle back and forth to town. Also a Km walkability paved scooter trail down to town just across the road. A wonderful BF spread carefully prepared every morning.

Location is good for shopping in Sorrento as the hotel provides free shuttle and the food was delicious; however, a cat should never be present next to the buffet period. The quality of carpentry skills done is also much to be desired. The shower in the best room with a view had a shower with broken shower head, limited luke warm water. The live edge looks slapped together with off center tap. Not really a complaint; but being a Carpenter I notice how little it may have taken to perfect the look of such work. A barking dog woke us up at 6 am after being awake 24 hrs from travels. The explanation was it wasnt their dog; however, this is a villa - ie farm country so dogs howl much of the night. The bed is very comfortable; but the top bed cover smelled to body odour. The directions on canadian gps will get you lost because it is nearly impossible to find this property unless advertised as next to hotel Camp Joanna.

Like a retreat!
I love this spot - amazing views of the gulf of Naples and Ischia. Laura the host is so lovely as is everyone who works there (and thank you Aldo!). Some tips- 1. This spot is on the steep hill overlooking Sorrento, do not take a taxi there it will be 45 euro or more, call the Villa to get information about the free shuttle to/from Sorrento that runs multiple times per day. 2. Bring your walking shoes there is a lovely hike to Sorrento on a cobblestone road from the villa, great exercise! 3. The 2nd floor room with the balcony was gorgeous, my friend had it and I wish I had paid the extra $20 to be in that room. 4. Book your small boat tour (10 people) through Laura, I did the Positano/Amalfi tour AND the Capri tour, both were epic and they picked me up and dropped me off at the Giovanna. Don't mess with the big ferries they are a waste of time and just bring you to the main towns which are total tourist traps. You get what you pay for in Sorrento! 4. Eat dinner at night at the Johanna Park Hotel up a path from the Giovanna, delicious meals, friendly staff, and the head waiter is the twin of Robert de Niro! 5. Delicious breakfast included at the villa- I have been in Europe for a month and this was by far the best breakfast I have had. 6.You can use the lovely pool area at the Johana Enjoy!

Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist leider schlecht beschildert, die Suche nach dieser hat daher gedauert.Das Personal ist zuvorkommend.Frühstück war lecker. Es gibt ein Shuttleservice in die Stadt (ca 5 min Fahrt), man kann auch eigene Abholzeiten vereinbaren.
Die Zimmer sind renovierungsbedürftig: es gab Probleme beim Aufschließen der Tür, die Beleuchtung im Zimmer ist kaum existent und das Wasser im Bad hat auch Probleme gemacht, die Toilettenspülung hat oft nicht sofort funktioniert.
