Dear Martyn,
We enjoyed ourselves a lot at the Apartment in Sorrento15 Residence Piazza Torquato. The location was perfect and the apartment was very spacious and comfortables. We always dinned at the balcony and felt like real Italians.
Will sure go back.
The TV was set by the administrator in a very quick way and I was able to watch the football match between Argentina and Greece

Dear Martyn
We had a fantastic time at the 15 Residence Piazza Torquato.
In fact we had been there 7 years ago (having booked direct with the
owners), and hadn't realised we were going back to the same place.
However, we were very happy to use your company, as in the current
financial climate we wanted a UK based company. You and your staff
were very helpful in providing us with a centrally located flat at
a reasonable cost.
Best Wishes

Dear Mr Lawson
Our party of 4 have just returned from Sorrento , we stayed
at 15 Residence Piazza Torquato
My husband and I shared one bedroom, my sister in law had the
other and my cousin slept on the bed settee in the kitchen/
living area.
We loved the location, although noisy in the daytime , I had
read some of the testimonials so expected that and took earplugs.
No problem!
We did find the making of tea difficult and would have liked
a saucepan with a handle as it was dangerous with the pan provided.
A kettle would be the answer for all your English clients.
We also thought that the mattresses were coming up to replacement
time!
However we loved Sorrento and would use your company again,
Tina was helpful and Hilda back in UK.

Dear Martyn Lawson
The apartment was brilliant, 15 Residence Piazza Torquato plenty
of room and superb location, we really enjoyed our stay, Tina was helpful
but we did wait around a long time on check out when we could be out
sightseeing. Also the hot water ran out quite quickly the 4th person
to shower had to have a cold one. Apart from that, very happy, many
thanks

We have just got back from a fabulous holiday in Sorrento. The apartment
at 20 Residence Villa Sorrento was
perfect. In great surroundings with full use
of the facilities of the camp site next door, it was a great base to
see the surrounding area. It is in an ideal location just outside the
main =
town, only a 5 minute walk from the busy shops and restaurants. The
hosts were very friendly all staff were very efficient and pleasant.
Our experience of booking through you has been easy and pleasant with
good communication.
THANKYOU!
October 2008
The views from the Villa are amazing and Andreas, the manager, really
welcoming and hospitable, which almost excuses any minor shortcomings
we had with the apartment. The Apartment, 18 Residence Villa Amalfi had
been confirmed to us as a 2 bed roomed apartment, which it is
not. It is however perfectly adequate for a family of 4 (if
the kids don't mind sharing a room) - the lounge was converted into
a bedroom with two single beds and because the weather was
so great we did not need a lounge and just sat on the terrace or
in the kitchen for meals and drinks. Cupboard space in the
kitchen was limited, as was the crockery and cutlery and the electrics
were prone to cutting out if you had too many appliances on - but
that all adds to the fun of a holiday abroad! The swimming
pool is small - so only suitable for a dip not an exercise swim.
Sorrento is beautiful, with many places to eat and drink. In fact the
villa is opposite a club which has live music every night going on
until about midnight. Sitting on the terrace you could have a
late evening drink and hear the music. We thought it might stop us
sleeping but it didn't.
The service we received from Apartments2book and Hilda in particular
has been prompt and very helpful - although there was obviously some
confusion over the apartment and if it was 2 Bed roomed or not - Andreas
said that Hilda had not actually been out to see the villa and this
would probably help to ensure that the same problem doesn't happen
again for other visitors. In addition we strongly recommend
that you update the descriptions on your website of Il Pino and Il
Golfo as they were very confusing.
All in all we had a lovely holiday and would recommend the 18 Residence Villa Amalfi and
Apartments2book to others.

Hello,
14 Residence Palazzo 1600 was
absolutely amazing. The space was roomy, clean and centrally located.
The neighbours in the area were fantastic, especially the restaurant
directly below the apartment. I've told everyone about Apartments2book
because the staff was helpful every step of the way. Thanks to you,
this was a stress-free vacation.

Hi Martyn,
We had a very pleasant stay at 16 Sorrento
Collection thank you. The apartment is very spacious and has
beautiful views. We loved the garden and pool, it was great and secure
for the children. The owner was very nice and helpful.
Just a couple of points you may want to feed back to the owner:
my eleven year old went to the local supermarket a couple of minutes
walk away and he felt he was followed by 2 men with caps pulled down
over their eyes on the way back. He was quite freaked out. The area
felt quite safe and family friendly, but perhaps families need to be
wary?
16 Sorrento Collection had
a very basic level of kitchen equipment and would benefit from a few
more glasses and cups.
Families should be warned about the very steep spiral staircase, it
was ok for my 11 and 12 year olds, but really not suitable for small
children
These are minor points, as we had a great week there.
Kindest Regards

16 Sorrento Collection Thank
you very much. The apartment was fine and the owner was very
helpful. Great location we will be passing this info onto
others expected to travel to Sorrento in the spring of 2008.
Thanks Again

Dear Sir / Madam,
20 Residence Villa Sorrento I
am pleased to inform you that the level of service was outstanding.
I was able to get great help from Hilda at such short notice. The apartment
was perfect although we were only there for one night. I can certainly
recommend this apartment. When we arrived, the staff were very nice
and helpful.
Many thanks for your excellent support.

Our stay at the 10 Residence Villa Capo was
very pleasant and comfortable. I highly recommend this property
to other travellers. It is very clean and well maintained,
and the staff helpful and polite. The setting is spectacular,
with views overlooking the bay and Mount Vesuvius. Breakfast
is excellent and very filling. The bus stop is just a few
yards up the hill, and there is a large supermarket (Conad)
just
short bus ride or 10 minute walk down the hill. Just one
word of caution, if you are not fast on your feet, walking
up the
hill and crossing the road can be very tricky, as the busses
and cars come speeding around the corner without much warning.
I will definitely stay here again upon retuning to Sorrento.
I would like to see apartments in Zurich, Lugano, Salzburg, Vienna,
Munich, Berlin, Prague, and I could go on and on...
The website is very helpful and user friendly, especially the maps
and pictures of the apartments.
Thank you for your excellent service, and you may use my comments!!

6 Villa Pompeii was perfect
for my husband and I. It was close to the train station ant
the ruins themselves. We mistakenly arrived a day early and our apartment
could not accommodate us. Our room was clean and comfortable and
it was great to be able to swim in the evening after a long day sightseeing.
It would of been nice for our room to have TV/radio. All in all we
were very happy and will recommend this accommodation to our friends
Many Thanks

I would like to say, firstly, Ginda, is an amazing woman of whom,
works so hard to please and relax everyone that stays at 22 The
Villa Positano
Positano is an amazing oasis, although I have family in Italy, I
felt very welcome and was made to feel at home the first day.
Thank you Ginda, daniella I miss you all more than you can imagine.
I would recommend casa Gilda with all my heart.

Dear Mr Lawson,
I am very pleased to reply to your email re our stay at the 18 Residence Villa Amalfi in
Sorrento. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Andrea we
felt so much at home there, the apartment was almost too good to
be real, it was just lovely, we had everything we needed and the
apartment was so lovely and clean and Andrea was a perfect host,
he made us feel so welcome and nothing was a trouble to him, he helped
us in any way that he could and went out of his way to be of assistance.
My nephew and I were extremely happy with our stay there and were
very sorry to leave. We would never ever want to stay anywhere else
in beautiful Sorrento. Also the view from the Apartment was just
stunning. I can honestly say we enjoyed every moment
Thank you for booking us there.
Yours sincerely Lynette Philpott.

Mariella at apartments2book was wonderful! Very helpful, patient
and sourced the perfect apartment for our stay in Sorrento.14 Residence Palazzo 1600 The
apartment was superb. Situated right in centre of town and of a
very high standard, we didn’t expect anything as good!
Many thanks again to Mariella, we will definitely be recommending
you and coming back for our next holiday apartment
Kind regards

The apartment was very good 15 Residence Piazza Torquato.
It was central for everything we needed, very clean and the beds
were comfortable. On the down side, I did find it noisy as the apartment
is on one of the main roads but I did get used to the noise. As you
must have many English visitors a kettle would be useful as we do
like our tea! I found using the saucepan was a little dangerous when
pouring out the hot water as the pan was too big. I very much enjoyed
my stay in Sorrento. I would use your company again.
Many thanks

10 Residence Villa Capo Great

10 Napoli Residence was
in the perfect location, for us, in Naples. There was easy access
to local market shops and within walking distance for the sight-seeing
sites. Anna, the receptionist, gave us ample information about special
restaurants to try and looked up the ferry/train schedules for us.
She was an asset to our week in Naples. The compact apartment was
clean, tidy and had everything that we needed.
We would recommend this site to our friends.
May 2007
Our stay at 10 Napoli Residence was
unforgettable
The location in Naples is just perfect. We just soaked up all of the
atmosphere and culture when we stepped onto the little balcony over-looking
the street. There were loads of local fruit/veg and grocery stores
a 5 minute walk away so it was very easy to conjure up our own Italian
specialities of an evening - not to mention the famous sites which
are within walking distance ( you can see the galleria dome from the
deck of the apartment we had).
Better still, there seemed to be very few tourists around that area
so we felt like we were truly living the Neapolitan life for the three
days that we were there.
Our hostess and host were great, both under extenuating circumstances
- the hostess, because apparently she had no proper booking for us
through apartments2book - the original request she had remembered from
December, but had heard nothing since then, even though nothing had
changed and we had all of the confirmations, and our host, who was
very accommodating when we had to find him on a Sunday night when our
power went out
We would definitely recommend 10 Napoli
Residence to any of our friends thinking of travelling
to Napoli

20 Residence Villa Sorrento The
setting of the apartment is idyllic ... and the apartment itself refurbished
to a high standard ...
My only comment would be that it would have been near-perfect had there
been a washing machine or two within the block!
Many thanks

The website was well set up, your staff were very helpful if we had
a problem.
We stayed at 18 Residence Villa Amalfi ,
Villa Amalfi, Sorrento. Undoubtedly the most beautiful place we stayed in throughout
our trip around Europe. Andreas and his family were incredibly hospitable, giving
us a tour of the town and the apartment itself was so special in its position
that we felt like rock stars for our entire stay. Worth every cent! The nearby
shop owners were extremely helpful and were always welcoming. We will definitely
be back to enjoy this beautiful location and its people.

Hello
We were very pleased with the apartment 11
Residence Marina Grande in particular the view which was fabulous.
The bathroom and bedroom were also first class. Our only problems were
that the website did not make clear that the swimming pool was not
on site and we felt that we could have had more bath towels and bath
mats or a change of towels mid week. We took the large towels and bath
mat to the laundrette ourselves: another two big towels and bath mat
would have been perfect. The apartment was spotlessly clean when we
arrived and Francesca was very helpful. Yours Nancy Telfer
August 2006
20 Residence Villa Sorrento is
a really lovely place to stay - very convenient with it's own pool
for times when we did not want to go sight seeing, and a great location
that was only about 5 minutes walk away from the historic part of the
town, yet quiet, too. The onsite restaurant is also really useful
for meals when we were too tired to prepare our own food at the end
of a busy day! Excellent quality and very reasonable prices. The
accommodation was a super apartment, with plenty of space inside and
out. In addition to the above comments, I have one
complaint, and also a suggestion for creating an even more positive
impact. Firstly - the complaint - when we arrived the air conditioning
did not work, so our first night was VERY hot. The director of
the site was very efficient in dealing with this, and sent somebody
to correct it, but it could not actually be rectified until the following
day. During the second night the air conditioning failed again,
so we again had a very hot night. I reported to the mechanic that there
seemed to be a problem at the fuse box, which kept making strange noises. I
think he looked at it, switched the relevant fuse back on, and everything
seemed to be working. However, on the third night the fuse kept
tripping - I switched it back on again 4 times during the night. After
that, the mechanics came and increased the fuse to 20 amps, and there
were no further problems. In light of the fact that we had 3
nights out of 7 that were hot and disturbed due to the failure of a
service I was paying for, I think that a small reduction in the bill
would have been appropriate, by way of compensation. I was told
that we were staying in the best apartment available - but to us it
did not matter what the apartment was like at that stage - it is not
the best while a key piece of equipment kept failing. Now for
the positive impact - which may be something you have already considered
- a small starter kit in the kitchen would be useful and would create
a great impact (like the toiletries in the bathroom) - to include a
dishcloth, a small quantity of washing up liquid, a bottle of water
in the fridge and perhaps a little tea / coffee. Extra touches
like these (especially in "the best apartment") would make the whole
arrival feel extra welcoming. Just an idea, of course! Kind
regards Jane

We were very happy with our room in Sorrento at 17 Residence Hotel Sorrento. It
was clean and bright with wonderful views of Sorrento and across
the water to Naples and the food was wonderful in the hotel. The
staff was most friendly and very helpful. A very short
easy walk, 15-20 min. to town found good shopping and good food. We
couldn't have found a nicer place to stay. Thanks again! Dave

Hi
6 Villa Pompeii was a good
place for us. We stayed three nights, which was done as a last minute
decision as we normally just buy flights and organise accommodation
as we move along. Booking was very easy and quick and the hotel
was reasonable, especially since there was a pool there, which
was a big plus for us. It was also near to the train station and of
course right beside the all important reason for going there - the
Pompeii ruins. The hotel was clean and staff very friendly. If you
want somewhere to stop while visiting the Pompeii ruins, I would
recommend 6 Villa Pompeii which
is easily booked and beside a station from which you have easy
access to Naples or Sorrento, if moving further south.

The accommodations in Pompeii were fabulous. 6 Villa Pompeii The room,
the service, everything was impeccable. We couldn't have been happier.
April 2006
We were very happy with the accommodation at 6 Villa Pompeii. The rooms
were excellent and well located to the Pompeii excavations. The hotel
restaurant was also excellent and is highly recommended. The staff
were friendly and helpful. We certainly would be very happy to stay
there again.

17 Residence Hotel Sorrento Sorrento
is one of the best small hotels that we have stayed in. The staff were
wonderful and the views fantastic. Room 25 was perfect for a party of 4,
with the jacuzzi being an added bonus. My only grumble would be the beach
area which could do with some TLC!
September 2005
Great website, informative and easy to use.
6 Villa Pompeii was
in an excellent location, right on the doorstep of Pompeii and the local rail.
The hotel was very clean, food in restaurant good and staff (especially Carlos)
very friendly and helpful. Our party of 13 were very appreciative of the swimming
pool, especially as we had 7 kids with us!! All round, I would recommend this
hotel to anyone wishing to visit Pompeii, Sorrento, Versuvius etc. This was the
first time we had booked on the internet through your company and would repeat
the experience, as it was so easy
Loved it.
Thank you.

We,6 girls, have just returned from a weeks holiday staying in 15 Residence Piazza Torquato.
Brilliant value for money, central for doing anything in Sorrento,
and the agency over there were lovely and looked after us very well
as did the agency in London. Would definitely go back if returning
to Sorrento. Thank you
Website is very well-designed and easy to use

Regarding our 14 Residence Palazzo 1600 Sorrento,
we found it to be very clean. spacious, and well decorated. Our
only problem was getting our suitcases up the spiral staircase. The
staff were friendly and efficient. I was concerned about using
a website for booking, but was impressed with my dealings with you on
addressing my concerns. I will certainly use your
service again when I return to Europe
July 2005
Dear Martyn
We would have no hesitation in recommending 6 Villa Pompeii A comfortable,
good price hotel with a wonderful view and so close to the ruins. Meals
in the restaurant were very good, but variation would have been welcome,
lunch and evening every day was exactly the same. We were also disappointed
that the pool was empty when we arrived and was not available for a
further five days.
We caught the train to Sorrento, what a beautiful place, I am sure
you will here from us again when we are able to enjoy a longer visit.
On the whole we had a wonderful time especially as the purpose of our
stay was for our daughter’s wedding to a lovely Italian.
big thank you to you and all your staff who were a great help, never booked
over the internet before, they made it so easy.
Avril & Ron
PS We were so pleased that all the wedding guests were able to
book into the same hotel, over 30 of us.

We stayed at 15 Residence Piazza Torquato in
Sorrento for 2 weeks early June this year and loved it! Couldn't have
been more central. Fairly basic, but all we needed, including free
washing machine use, which was essential travelling with our toddler!
Very good service from agency in Sorrento. Would stay there again any
time.

Dear Mr. Lawson,
We were completely satisfied with our experience with apartment2book.com
and extremely satisfied with the accommodations in Sorrento.
The owner Andrea was so gracious and friendly. The apartment
at 18 Residence Villa Amalfi was
incredible. It was in the best location with the best view of
all of Sorrento. We felt so special to have Andrea share his
beautiful home with us.
Thanks, our stay in Sorrento is definitely our fondest memories of
our vacation.

Hi,
The accommodation was excellent at 10 Residence Villa Capo.
A little noisy in the apartment we were in at night due to proximity to the road
but not really a problem to us. We could shut the balcony doors and put the air-conditioning
on The apartments are of high quality. Cleaning service everyday with no extra
charge. The view from the balcony was excellent. The staff were exceptionally
good with nothing being too much trouble. Can you pass on our thanks to the hotel
staff and I'd also like to thank you for your service which was equally as excellent.
Any queries I had of you were answered promptly and with courtesy.
Regards
Tony.

We had a very pleasant stay. One of the main reasons for visiting the
area was to see Pompeii and your complex could not be better placed
for this. Also we were very close to the Circumvesuviana which enables
us to quickly cheaply and easily get to Hereculaneum, Vesuvius and
the Amalfi Coast.
we would have liked tea/coffee making facilities in our room, and I
felt the air conditioning supplement was expensive but other than this
we had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 6 Villa Pompeii to anyone
keen to explore the area. the restaurant was reasonably priced and
food very good.

We couldn't have asked for a nicer apartment 20 Residence Villa Sorrento. The
service was excellent. The apartment was modern, air conditioned
when we needed it cooler, bed was comfortable and location a couple minutes
from downtown Sorrento couldn't have been better. Please
clear up the haze surrounding Vesuvius so we can see it better from
the bedroom. The location of the apartment in the midst of magnificent
fauna was exquisite. Since we like to cook when we vacation,
we could have used more cooking utensils, but we managed nicely.
Thanks.

Dear Sirs
We found the accommodation and service at 6 Villa Pompeii perfectly
adequate. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the restaurant
service/food was nice and the rooms (in particular the bathroom) were
of a good size and clean.
In particular, we found that your hotel was in a very good situation. It
was quite quiet, but very near to the ancient site of Pompeii. We
were able to leave our bags in a side room when we booked out and then
walked around the archaeological site to find that the exit was just
yards from your accommodation, making it very easy for us to then collect
our bags on our way back to the train station.
If we know of anyone wanting to visit Pompeii, we will undoubtedly
recommend that they stay at the 6 Villa Pompeii
Best regards

17 Residence Hotel Sorrento is
situated in a very beautiful setting. We had 2 rooms, 1 suit
and 1 standard. My parents had the standard room and were very
disappointed. The room had a window that faced a wall on the
main street. Our suit on the other hand was stunning. The
staff was very good as they changed my parents room to a little more
brighter one. The breakfast and dinner was excellent. It
was nice to see the owner adding special touches to everything like
changing the flower pots, inspecting fresh vegetables coming in,
watering the plants etc. Overall our visit was very good.

on our apartment in Sorrento 15 Residence Piazza Torquato There
were 7 of us, Our daughter, her husband and three children (16,14,11),
my husband and I. Our son-in-law loves to cook and the kitchen was well
supplied. The property is on the top floor of a building in the center

Dear Martyn
Thank you for your enquiry. We thought the apartment was FANTASTIC.
Have been to Sorrento before and stayed in a hotel, never again. We
will definitely go back and stay at 20 Residence Villa Sorrento. It
had everything we wanted plus the added benefit of the campsite facilities.
Pool, shop and restaurant all good. Your staff were very helpful and
efficient in handling my booking, and I would like to say thank you
to Maria especially.
