We originally wanted to stay in sorrento but all the hotels were fully booked at the time. This hotel is 2 stops away from sorrento (piano d sorrento), we were unsure how to get to the hotel from the station, the owner was nice enough to pick us up with no fee charge. We managed to figure out the way back to the station which was only around 15 minutes walk but the hotel is located on a hill which made it quite a challenge going back to it after a tiring day. The bungalow that we stayed in was alright, the air-condition works perfectly since it is one of the necessities with the weather being hot, the room is equipped with sky cable (even though the TV was small) it was enjoyable watching Sky movies that we could change the language setting to English. The pool was cold and quite deep so we only dipped in it once in our 4 day stay. There is no good restaurants that we have encountered in piano d' sorrento, there is however a pizzeria just 3 minutes walk halfway down the hill from the hotel just in case when hungry (the waitress is very well English spoken) the hotel does dinner service but it is close on Monday (we never got to try it) Breakfast was however a disappointment as it it just biscuits, a basket of cold bread, hot drinks and juices. The owners however are very helpful and friendly, they speak good English and recommends good excursion trips. Overall, our stay was alright for what we paid for. We are a couple in our 20s so we're not as fussy about little things like decor etc.

We stayed at the Villagio for 10 nights. Our party included 4 teenagers. The location is good only two stops away from Sorrento, so not packed with tourists but close enough to the major sites such a Pompeii, Vesuvius and Naples. The Villagio is on a steep hill so is challenging when returnig from a day out. The train station is only 15 mins walk away. Piano di Sorrento was excellent for restaurants and all very reasonably priced. The Villagio is very tired looking and the cabins are in need of renovation however the aircon, an essential, worked well and the on site pool was awesome. When we arrived the main light in our cabin was not working and my sons toilet window would not close. When we reported this we were told it would be fixed the next day. The light was fixed but the toilet window was still broken when we left. Blossoms pub was very good with the food great value for money. I recommend the pizza with chips as a topping. The cabins had Sky but the TV was too small to fully enjoy the sports and movies. Our cabin had a fridge which was useful for storing food and drink which on a budget is very handy. Blossoms pub and the pool are used by the locals and does get busy and can be a bit noisy at night. The cabins are not sound proofed so privacy is a problem. Dominico, the owner/site manager is great and very helpful. He helped arrange our visit to Capri. We also used the train/metro system to visit Pompeii and Vesuvius, make sure you take your passports with you if travelling with kids as proof of age for entrance to Pompeii and other site seeing venues is required to get the discounted rates. I recommend you take insect repellent with you as mosquitoes and horse flys are an issue. The horse fly bites can be quite nasty. Breakfast at the Villagio was basic but the owners did not mind you bringing in your own cereal and happily provided you with bowls and spoons. Overall if on a budget I would recommend the Villagio.
