Villa la Ventana

The house is amazing with beautiful views! Everything you need. The brothers that run this beautiful house are so gracious and sweet. There were 9 of us and so spacious. Breakfast was wonderful and if you don't have a car a bus station near by. Highly recommend!

June 2023 We were a group of 20, 10 couples, all from the USA. My partner and I were the coordinators of the trip and arranged all of the bookings, accommodations, transportation, side trips and meal plans with the input and approval of the group. We collected all of the money ahead of time that needed to be paid to the villa, transportation, guides, and meals that we had arranged for. We are not travel agents, we have a passion for travel and the research that goes into pulling it all off - thank goodness for a spreadsheet! Booking the villa for all 10 rooms for the week we wanted was very easy to do over email. We had a prior contact in Sorrento with the uncle of the owners of the villa so that helped. The villa only has 10 rooms so we knew the villa would be ours for the week we were there (June 10th - 17th, 2023). We booked the villa about 12 months in advance. The villa also had all ensuite rooms, which again made it all that much easier to choose this villa over others. Angelo, Guitano, and Danilio, were our gracious hosts and insured that we enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The villa is beautifully perched on the hillside and overlooks the bay of Amalfi below and the town of Praiano and to the far left you can see the bay of Sorrento in front of the town, such gorgeous views. The villa is clean, the beds were fine, AC worked better than anticipated, and breakfast was what we expected. We used the pool and the jacuzzi and laid out in the sun and just loved it all. The grounds were well maintained and they had lovely gardens to take in. Adjacent to the pool and jacuzzi area was an outdoor pavilion with a ping pong table and a big table to hold dinners at. Two of the seven nights we were there, we arranged to have a sit down meal which we planned for the first night of our arrival and on the last night as our going away party. The cost was agreed to prior to arriving. The dinners were well received and the brothers did a great job along with Mamma, we had a great time! Breakfast consisted of yogurt, rolls, sweet breads, tarts and cereals, coffee, milk and a couple of juices. We were offered omelets to anyone that wanted one for a small extra charge, we also asked that there be some fruit on the buffet, which they quickly obliged us with the next morning consisting of bananas, oranges, peaches, and other seasonal fruit. Coffee service was handled on an individual basis by Danilio each day and he did a great job keeping up with our list of coffee and tea requests. The only cons to the entire villa experience were the extras we didn't know about up front. If you wanted a change of bath towels it was 5 euros, pool towels were 5 euros, an extra roll of toilet paper was 5 euros, everything extra was basically 5 euros. I would suggest that they reconsider their extra fees and roll it into the cost of the room rate and get rid of the extra costs altogether or state over and above a daily allowance. I will say

Beautifull boutique hotel with a wonderful view. Nice and clean rooms and very good breakfast. Danilo, received us with a great smile, spoke English and gave us good advise for the surroundings and places to eat. There is also a great swimming pool overlooking the entire bay of Sorrento.

My friends and I visited the Villa in June and spent a week there as part of a girls’ trip to Italy. Our week could not have been more perfect! We were made to feel like part of the family. The rooms were extremely comfortable. Breakfast every morning of fresh omelets, cappuccinos, pastries and more was a delicious and perfect way to start the day. The view was spectacular, and the pool provided the perfect relaxation at the end of the day after sight-seeing! I can’t think of anything I would have changed!

We stayed at the villa for a company retreat and it was more than perfect. The hosts helped with organizing our whole trip (excursions, food, ...), which made it really easy for us. Highly recommended for groups to have a great time at a perfect place with exceptional service.

We stayed in this amazing villa overlooking Sorrento for a week. The service was unmatched. The team at the Villa goes above and beyond to help. They are warm, knowledgeable, polished and they have a wonderful attention to detail. The food was outstanding and the meal times were flexible. The views were absolutely stunning from each balconied room and we had such a wonderful time in the pool and Jacuzzi. We loved the outdoor dining and the outdoor bar and the entire trip was just perfect.

We had a great stay here. The views are simply amazing and the pool area is lovely to pass a relaxing few hours. We thoroughly recommend staying at Villa La Ventana for a wonderful place to explore both the Amalfi coast and Sorrento peninsula. You need a car to make the most of the location but well worth being away from the main tourist hustle & bustle. A friendly welcome on arrival and throughout our stay at this family-owned establishment from the three brothers who between them offer good company, good service and a delicious breakfast omelette! Would happily stay there again. Grazie mille da Filomena e David

We had a great stay at this family owned gem. 4 nights in the August heat with beautiful view over the bay. The pool was especially nice during this time and have to mention the brothers that run the place and made us feel right at home!

This is a special place. Brothers are amazing. Very nice B&B. Would only recommend if you have a car. 15min drive to sorrento. Worth it. You’ll love. Trust me.
