We stayed at Apartment Sun for 5 nights in July as part of a multi-centre family holiday in Italy. On arrival into Sorrento by train we were able to walk to the apartment following the free map from the station information desk. Guiliana met us and showed us round. Her English was perfect! The apartment was very spacious and the roof terrace was amazing with lots of outside space and seating for mealtimes. Views towards Vesuvius across the Bay of Naples were pretty good too! Having two modern well fitted bathrooms was an advantage with 2 teenagers. Only downside was the kitchen which lacked work-surface and was actually quite poorly equipped both for utensils and crockery/glasses. A small spend by the owners in this area would have improved our stay quite a lot. We could down into the city easily in about 5 minutes and found a shorter route to the bus/ train station up a few steps. Location was really good as it was away from the noise of the centre in a residential area. We were disturbed one night at the weekend though by a disco fairly nearby with noise travelling through the still hight air. Overall though a fantastic apartment with lots of space and fantastic views. Would recommend.

Guiliana was exceedingly helpful in the weeks leading up to our arrival and arranged a private transfer, whilst this is a tad expensive at 110e each way I am so glad we had it as we slept in on the morning of our departure! When we arrived Cristina was there to greet us and to show us up to the appartment. Thankfully there was a small lift otherwise there was no way my mother who has limited mobility would have got to the 5th floor to see the amazing views from this lovely appartment. The twin room was comfortable, with plenty of storage and lovely view of the mountain side. There are doors leading on to part of the balcony. We found this great for sunbathing on the loungers. The main seating area could do with another easy chair or arm chair. The bed settee was comfortable to sit on. I recommend that if you have the doors open in the living room that lead to the side balcony, that you clip them back as the breeze does whip through (in a good way!) The double bedroom was superb, very comfortable and again with a door that leads to the front balcony that enjoys a glorious view of Vesuvious and the islands. We had breakfast out here every morning. The ensuite in the double bedroom is excellent, it has really been refurbished to a high standard. We all used this as the main bathroom. The kitchen is a a good size with everything you need, there is a second bathroom off the kitchen, the shower is exceedingly small and as such we didn't use it. We did have a few technical problems with the TV, we were told there were english channels but we never found them, believe me, my father tried! There was also a broken extension plug that the owner came personally to replace. Even when we had a thunderstorm and temporarily lost water pressure, Elegant Escapes were just the other end of the email. There is WIFI in the appartment that was a life line! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Apartment Sun which is situated off the main road leading to the Piazza Tasso. We walked down every day, there are benches along the route that we would stop at. My father and I can walk down from the appartment to the Piazza Tasso in around 8 minutes. We did get a taxi back however as it is slightly up hill. Just a few meters from the complex there is a supermarket, the road gets a little steeper here, it was a little too much for my mother. We would pay 10e for a taxi back to the appartment (including tip) Everything is within easy reach of this appartment, there is also a lovely patisserie on the main road to the square. I would also recommend the Sorrento Inlaid Wood Factory that is on the left hand side as you head to the square. Great prices! Thank you so much Guiliana, Irene and Cristina (and the owner, sorry I couldn't remember your name!) This was supposed to be my parents swansong for Sorrento after 6 visits, however after leaving they are already considering coming back!

Thank you for such a wonderful week in Sorrento. Apartment Sun was perfect for our stay, the views were amazing, the facilites excellent. We loved the style of the apartment, the furnishings and decor were really cool, and it was great being able to have all the windows open, even at night when it was so hot!  Paulo gave us some really useful advice on arrival, and we had the most wonderful meal at Donna Sofia's restaurant. Shops were handy and it was an easy walk into town for trains, buses and shops and restaurants. Thank you to the owner for letting us stay, and thanks to Giuliana for such helpful booking arrangements. We WILL be back!

My partner and I spent a week in Apartment Sun, Sorrento. It was a lovely spacious apartment with amazing views from each side of the balcony/terrace. The location was great as near the Tasso Square and all the amenities. The kitchen although somewhat small compared to the rest of the apartment was perfectly adequate for our cooking needs. We ate and drank on the terrace most nights as the views were spectacular. We were there during a heatwave but managed to sleep ok as there were large electric fans. We weren't far from the train/bus station and we were fortunate enough to visit Positano and the Amalfi coast, Capri and Pompeii. The harbour wasn't far either but the ferry was quite costly. I would like to thank Guilliana for all her help and useful information. Nothing was too much trouble. I am also grateful to the owner who let us stay longer in the apartment as we had a later flight with no extra cost. I would definitely recommend Apartment Sun and can't wait to return.

We rented Villa Emerald for 11 days as a group of 12 adults and 2 infants. The villa was fantastic, view spectacular (even better than on the photos), great appartments and well furnished, lovely garden, nice barbecue area, great pool area, really had a perfect vacation there. I would like to thank Giuliana and Irene for all their help in organising this stay for us - not only before our arrival, but also once we were there, by giving us a good briefing on the region, organising trips for our group, finding additional sleep for extra friends. We had a wonderful vacation and I fully reccommend both Villa Emerald, as well as the Elegant Escape Villas bureau.

Thank you Giuliana and Irene for your kindness during our stay at Viridian House in Massa Lubrense.  The country house was delightful and we really loved the pool which we used every day as the weather was very hot.  There is so much to do in the area we will definitely come back to Sorrento with elegant escape.

Gentile ElegantEscape,

vi sono grato per la professionalità e la dedizione con cui avete organizato la mia permanenza in villa. Mia moglie e i miei parenti sono rimasti incantati dalla bellezza del posto e dalla vostra cortesia. Consiglierò ai miei amici di affidarsi a voi per la prossima vacanza. Spero con piacere di rivenire in quei luoghi meravigliosi.
