I found the Villa Maria to be charming, not like all the bigger impersonal hotels. Not quite so up to date but I found this appealing.The staff were fantastic, helpful and friendly. My room was spotlessly cleaned every day and the bed was very comfortable, which very important to me. Sorrento is a wonderful place , a good stepping stone... More

We booked a week in September with Riviera travel, and paid £150 extra for a side sea view room. This turned out to be a 4th floor room with a view of rooftops and television dishes, with a postage-size triangle of blue between buildings far off on the left. We immediately asked for a change but the hotel could not... More

I stayed at the Villa Maria with a family member in mid-October 2011 with the Riviera tour group for a week which included tours of Sorrento, Naples, Pompeii etc. It was on a half-board basis (breakfast and dinner was included in the cost). The hotel is approx. a 10 minute stroll from the maze of small streets where most of... More

We arrived before midday but our rooms (2 singles) were ready for us. The room I was given contained a massive double bed that took up 90% of the space. I could not even get my suitcase in. I went down to reception to complain and was shown another room, this time with twin beds and ample room for one... More

We arrived at 10.00pm so was very pleased and surprised to find they had kept the dining room open for us and we had a 3 course meal. Great start. Hotel lovely just off the main street so near everything. our room on second floor was big and spotless with a balcony, admittedly not with the best view but could... More

We stayed here for a week in August 2011 on a bed and breakfast basis. The hotel staff were generally very helpful but the Maitre d' was a little scary! The hotel wasn't busy while we were there so we didn't have to share a table in the dining room at breakfast and there were always spare sun beds around... More

This hotel is rated 3 stars and this is probably right. It's plus points are it's in excellent location, near shops, bars, restaurants, buses, car hire. Although some rooms face main road, those facing the pool or face side road are very quiet and you can't hear any traffic at all. Whatever you do - do NOT under any circumstances... More

The Villa Maria is close to the town centre but our room was at the back and untroublede by street noise. The room was comfortable and had a small courtyard for our exclusive use though the limited lighting (there was a light but it was only two feet from the ground) made it unsuitable for use in the evening. Nice... More
