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.
Regards
Sandy Smedley
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

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

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 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!

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 and Marlene

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.

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,

as did the agency in London. Would definitely go back if returning
to Sorrento. Thank you

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

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.

PS We were so pleased that all the wedding guests were able
to book into the same hotel, over 30 of us.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
