Villa Giovanna - Sorrento

Nice b&b up in the hills overlooking Sorrento. Staff was very friendly. There is a small bar by the pool. The pool is very small, and is more for sitting in, but has a very nice view over the bay. The room was very large, as was the bathroom.

Very difficult to find. Suggest adding Hotel is across from Hotel President. The road to this hotel is a uphill swtich back and you need a small car.

Lovely place with history and character. Very nice helpful staff. Stunning views and nice pool, Quiet relaxing location. Good breakfast. Very easy going and flexible, Staying late on my last day because I had a late flight was no problem to them.

The one and only thing is finding it ! Which I noticed is posted on trip advisor too last year ! They realy need a sign or two at each entrance and on or near the building itself when you get to it. There is absoloutely nothing ! No signage whatsoever so you have no idea when you are near or even at the place !!! And the directions should mention turning in off the road at The Joanna Park Hotel which is signed up and the Giovanna is obviously connected with and turning right down a track just in front of. That would make all the difference and would make guests much happier and less likely to complain so everyones life is easier including the staff !!!!!!!!!

room was excellent, comfortable and clean, breakfast was varied and good, staff friendly

Useful being next door to a hotel with a restaurant and a free shuttle-bus into town.

Standard of furnishings and rather faded decor

breakfast was fab people extremely helpful could not have asked for more for the price incredible stay!

signage to find the place was poor

I liked staying at Villa Giovanna - the people working there were friendly and understanding, the rooms were simple and welcoming and there is a sweet little swimming pool area with a great view of the sea in the distance.

It could be a bit noisy - the walls were a bit thin.

Quiet location with fantastic view! Breakfast with big selection (including fruits, pastries, müsli, coffee, cappucino, tee, etc.). Reception 24h open. 30 Minutes walk down to Sorrento on a narrow, steep and beautiful road with only low/moderate scooter traffic. Public busses go every 30 Minutes or 60 Minutes from a bus stop just outside Villa Giovanna. Private busses from other hotels (Hotel President or Hotel Amnita) can sometimes be used by asking kindly. The bus ride down in the city takes 10-15 Minutes. Buy bus tickets in advance because it is sometimes not possible to buy tickets on the bus. I think the correct price per bus ticket is 2,4€.

There is no sign or indication on the road Via Nastro Verde at the entrance to Villa Giovanna. It has obviously been like that for a long time as can be read from the other entries. This should be fixed urgently!! Enter where it says "Hotel Johanna Park" (this is another hotel). On the other side of the road is the entrance to "Hotel President".

The staff were lovely, very helpfull and the location was scenic and very tranquill. It was so nice to stay somewhere which was peacefull whilst having all the facilities

I liked everything about Villa Giovanna

This B&B type property is about 1 1/2 miles outside Sorrento in the hills and thus is quiet but convienent to Sorrento if you have a car. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It is very good value for that part of Italy.

The only negative I had was that the main egress point from the property to the main road is on a curve and that it seemed dangerous to me trying to get my car safely onto the main road given the tough visibility and the fact that Italian drivers drive too fast for the conditions.

Lovely airy room with a shaded veranda overlooking the Bay of Naples.Helpful staff who were keen to please. The Villa is set in the grounds of St Johannes Hotel with a pleasant but fairly steep walk down into Sorrento [or a regular bus service].

Villa Giovanna, Sorrento made us like staying at home. Comfortable and casual. We enjoyed the good breakfast and thanks for the nice staff.

The room was very good, with nice views, The villa, via the hotel next door have a free shuttle bus into sorento which was very handy, we only had one night there, but would have liked to stay longer.

Our gps had a bit of trouble locating the villa, But with a quick stop to ask directions at a hotel (which turned out to be adjacent to the villa), we realised that the villa is in the grounds of the hotel, but difficult to see from the road.

Poor signage to located the B&B.. spent 30minutes looking for it.

Villa Giovanna was as advertised. Very nice and spacious room, free parking and wireless. Staff was very pleasant and very accommodating. There was live music on Friday nights (jazz-like).

The breakfast was very good. The outside with chairs is beautiful.

The cleaning could be a little better, the room smelled.
