Our stay here was lovely. The place was very clean and the staff were incredibly helpful (and the hairdryer in the room was better than my one at home).

The cut through made it a really easy walk to the shops, bars & restaurants and station and there was a shuttle available too. Which we used when travelling back to the hotel to save going up the hill. The staff were easily contactable on WhatsApp to help with the booking of the shuttle or anything else we needed.

The star of the show was the breakfast. It was lovely having such fresh produce all whilst sat with a fabulous view. We hope to be back in the future.

Yes it is not in the city center but after you eat the amazing breakfast with the view you are going to take the 25 min walk to the city. Take the time to meet Ana and her friendly staff. Walk the orchard. To get back it’s either a 25Eu cab fare or grab the hotel shuttle at the train station for 2 euros per person

We were given a bucket, know the risks….

We spent two nights at Villa Oriana Relais and wanted to like. However, the first day we arrived (Sunday), the toilet did not work. We were told it could not be fixed, because plumbers had the day off. Ok……

We were given a bucket, and for the whole day and night had a non-functioning toilet. We were also given a key for a toilet we could use two floors below us.

While we like the property and the villa overall, all we were basically told was “ we are sorry”. No compensation, no “sorry we will give you your money back for the day”, just an excuse that “plumbers were all at the beach on Sunday”……The Villa was expensive, and literally nothing for the first day and night. Just a bucket.

Hope you don’t get a bucket and nothing to show for it. The family is nice, the breakfast is nice, blah, blah, blah. But no effort to switch our room and no compensation for having to use a bucket.

Sorry, but now you know the risks…,..

Incredible honeymoon venue

We started our honeymoon in this beautiful villa and couldn’t have been happier with the privacy and restful ambience. The staff made sure it was very special with a beautiful room with a comfortable bed and champagne in the sitting area that lead onto the terrace. We always looked forward to breakfast as home made cakes were made every morning as well as continental favourites. The jacuzzi on the top level was amazing to relax in and take in the incredible view. We had a massage booked for us in our room and wine one of the nights too. They also recommended a few restaurants who did a pick up
And drop off service which was much appreciated.
The walk up the hill wasn’t too bad also. Would 100% recommend.

So many things to like when staying there. Surrounded by a garden full with lemon trees and olive trees, it offers any visitor the chance for one of the most spectacular views on the Italian coast. When entering the garden, I was impressed on how lemon trees guarded the path to the villa. it gives you a sense of surreal that only handful of locations can offer.

Signora Maria and all her team make this place even more special as it become obvious to us how much love and dedication they put in everything they do for visitors to feel exquisite.

The breakfast offered is top notch, with so many mouth-watering alternatives, all done the same morning by Signora Maria and her staff. Both I and my daughter are intolerant to gluten and every single day we had special food done for us. I would say that we've been treated in this respect better than everywhere we've been so far on 3 continents in 5 stars locations.

And if food will not suffice for one's enjoyment, taking the breakfast on the villa's terrace offering the view of the entire gulf (from Naples and Vesuvius to Ischia Island) in front of your eyes will definitely do that! :) No wonder that in Italian, some call this place: \"L'anticamera del Paradiso\"

All in all, we felt like aristocrats enjoying spending summer on family's \"Italian-coast-mansion\"! A unique feeling that we'll always associate when remembering about Villa Oriana.

All the glowing reviews made me wonder if it was too good to be true, but I cannot say enough good about our six night stay. Nestled among lemon trees and with a spectacular view looking down on Sorrento and across to Capri and Vesuvius. Maria and her team are extremely helpful and just lovely people. The breakfasts are amazing, her special cakes not to be missed. If you want to be where all the tourists are, this is not the spot for you. If you don't have a car, it may not be ideal unless you like to walk off the breakfast. But if you are looking for a quiet, clean refuge after a day of sightseeing -- jacuzzi with a view included -- put Villa Oriana at the top of your list.

So so so happy in Sorrento!

Maria and her staff take care of you like family. We had only booked 3 nights and loved it so much we booked a 4th while we were there. Room was lovely and everything was immaculate. Lovely home baked snacks are left in your room every afternoon. The grounds are gorgeous - a lemon grove behind the entrance gate takes you to the villa. Maria’s made-from-scratch breakfasts were a visual feast and so delicious. Wonderful tortes, quiches, cakes, fresh fruit, eggs by request, cereal, yogurt, meats and cheeses.....The entire staff was so helpful, assisting us with local logistics and dinner reservations. Really felt like we were visiting family. The only bad thing to say is that we had to leave.

A great place to base a visit to Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.

The room was perfect and very clean. We never got the opportunity to use the hot tub but the views from everywhere were spectacular. And the breakfast....great variety, very tasty, great view....and the star of the show.....lemon honey from their own lemons. This was our first stop in Italy ever and set the bar very high for the rest of our stops. And if you need a good place to while away an afternoon with Limoncello spritzers and great snacks, stop into Split.....but be prepared to share with Guinness the dog.....delightful.

We loved our stay at Villa Oriana Relais. If we return to Sorrento we will definitely stay at this location again. While the hotel was a bit away from the town we enjoyed being in this quiet peaceful location as we had just traveled from Rome where we stayed overlooking the Pantheon. Our room was comfortable and private. The bathroom was luxurious. The bed was comfortable. The view was spectacular. But... most fabulous of all ... was the breakfast!!! We started each morning enjoying the wonderful breakfast enjoying the view across the terrace. Thank you Maria and all of the staff for your welcome, your warmth and the attention to detail. Very much recommend this as a wonderful base for a tour of the Amalfi coast and all the region has to offer.

We looked forward to it EVERY morning. The WiFi worked well. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. There is a bit of a hike to get into town, but not bad. Free shuttles to restaurants were offered and worked well. And staff offered to give us rides when needed. Overall, I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our time at Villa Oriana.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Villa Oriana Relais!!! Look no further, this is THE BEST hotel in Sorrento! Maria and her staff are wonderful, I have never had such great customer service and attention anywhere in my life. I walked through the lemon and orange orchard and was greeted immediately with fresh lemonade and homemade treats (so good!). The rooms are exceptionally clean and with great air conditioning and exquisite views! Absolutely breathtaking. They have a rooftop jacuzi that overlooks the bay, coupled with the lemonade, it was heavenly. I could go on and on. Additional to the hotel, they offer free shuttle to a couple of restaurants which were superb! The Oriana is walking distance from just about everything including the bus, the train, and the downtown area. I will recommend the Villa Oriana to anyone who will listen! It is, by far, the best! My choice every time, without exception, look no further.

We arrived to a gated driveway which was opened automatically upon arriving, we then followed the perfectly manicured drive up to the front of the beautiful Villa.
We immediatiately were greeted by Modica who had someone bring our bags in and deliver them to our room while she escorted out to the beautiful veranda overlooking the sea. She served us fresh lemon iced cake and ice cold lemonade made from their own lemons; awesome way to start our experience. We then unpacked and went to the roof deck to swim in the hot tub before going to dinner. They arranged free shuttle to take us to Restaurant they recommended and it was my favorite meal on our 19 day trip.
Breakfast was 5 star quality; all freshly baked by Maria the proprietor. Entire staff was friendly, helpful and just amazing. Sorrento did not disappoint; shopping fantastic, swimming at their beach and overall highly recommend on your trip down the Amalfi Coast

Love Villa Oriana Relais!!! 10 stars!!!

I couldn’t wait to return to my fourth stay at Villa Oriana so I booked two rooms - one for my friend and her husband to celebrate her birthday, and one for my fiancé and myself.

Both rooms were amazing with a beautiful Jr. Suite upgrade for my birthday friend!

By now I have stayed in most of the rooms, that are all elegantly decorated with much attention to detail, and have a private terrace or patio. I was so happy to share this experience once again with my fiancé, friends, Donna Maria and her wonderful staff. Every stay is so memorable!

We all enjoyed the outstanding breakfast with delicious homemade quiche, exquisite cakes and pastries, fresh tomatoes, fruit, locally made marmellata and mozzarella cheese.

I can’t wait to return - maybe for a dream honeymoon?

Grazie mille e arrivederci Villa Oriana Relais

I cannot express highly enough my recommendation to enjoy a stay at Villa Oriana Relais! This was my third stay since 2007 with a friend, then returned with my now fiancé in 2016 and the reason I wanted to return to Sorrento this year.

Donna Maria and her welcoming staff always make us feel like VIPs, just as they do with each guest. They surpass any expectations with their attention to detail at their lovely property in the hills of Sant’Agnello/Sorrento, set within fragrant lemon trees.

The limonata and homemade cake served to us were refreshing upon our arrival before we settled into our luxurious room with private terrace.

Every room is clean, comfortable and well-attended, and all I have stayed in have had a patio or terrace. We have enjoyed the jacuzzi on the top patio with an unforgettable view!

We looked forward to the lovely breakfast buffet with freshly squeezed orange juice and homemade delicacies lovingly prepared by Donna Maria, which cannot be topped. Their elegant presentation on family porcelain china still maintains a warm, family atmosphere while we enjoyed breakfast on the main terrace with other guests. The amazing views of Mt. Vesuvio overlooking the groves and town below are breathtaking!

Whether you want a romantic getaway or a family vacation, you will love Villa Oriana Relais!!!

What a lovely place and the staff are top notch! Breakfast is the continental variety but with very fresh ingredients and with homemade cakes also. Nice room and very clean with a balcony. After travelling 49 countries last year i stayed in a lot of hotels, i can only say the service would rank in the top 3 that i had visited (and i think i'm being mean there!!) The hotel is located on a hill in very nice grounds with lemon and orange trees greeting your entrance. Hotel is about 1.5km from the centre and very quiet but still close enough to enjoy the sorrento nightlife. Well done Villa oriana, the staff have got it perfect and can only recommend a stay for others if you want to be close but not too close to the centre

Highly highly recommend.
Check in - we arrived early and were greeted with delicious freshly baked cake and lemon juice from the lemon orchard outside the hotel. Magnificent views from the terrace. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
Location - we did not have a car, and the hotel is quite a way up a very steep path - not for the faint-hearted, but a great way to burn off the calories from the delicious breakfast in and out of Villa Oriana.
Room - absolutely spotless - couldn't fault anything, with great amenities - shower gel to die for, and probably the best wifi I have ever had in any hotel. Room was spacious with a terrace and the smell of lemon blossoms was almost overpowering. Peaceful and the bed so comfortable.
Breakfasts - cannot rave enough. Maria the owner bakes fresh cakes every morning, and for each of the three mornings we were there, there was no repetition. Also a savoury quiche and omelette together with fresh bread, tomatoes and local mozzarella cheese. Lovely Italian coffee and someone in attendance to cater to every whim.
I was fortunate to spend my birthday in Sorrento and was presented with the most beautiful cake and staff singing to me at breakfast.
The solarium and jacuzzi were closed as it was not warm enough yet, but we had a peek and it would be a lovely place to spend a hot afternoon.
I will definitely recommend this place - better than some five star hotels I have stayed in, and I am a picky guest!

This property is gated and super private and quiet. We booked it last minute after wanting to spend an additional day in Sorrento, and I wish we had stayed there the whole time. It is a bit out of the way, but we had a car and the parking was free and safe on the property. Lemon and clementine trees lined the whole driveway. As soon as we arrived, they brought us homemade apple cake with homemade lemonade and brought our luggage to our room for us. The room was basic, but it had a HUGE terrace with a partial ocean view. They had a shuttle that ran to a few different local restaurants which we didn't end up needing. Breakfast was AMAZING - all home made cakes and pastries and local meats and cheeses. And the balcony for breakfast had the most spectacular view of Vesuvius and the Sorrentine coastline. I loved this place and I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Boutique Getaway

Beautiful boutique getaway! Our only regret was not staying more nights here.

Upon arrival we were welcomed with a complimentary slice of homemade lemon cake and a sparkling lemon drink. We were then given a tour of the facility and our room. Our 1 bedroom, 1 bath room was located on the bottom floor. There was no elevator but they have staff who are more than happy to bring your luggage up and down for you. Our room was adorable and simple. We enjoyed the private porch that was enclosed with a large jasmine plant.

The villa is a large 'cottage' filled with many doors which lead to various other guest rooms. The main level has a large kitchen where Maria and her staff do all the cooking, a common area and terrace for all to enjoy. After a wonderful dinner recommendation by the staff, which included a shuttle ride to and from, we enjoyed a night cap...or 2...with other hotel guests in the common area.

In the morning, Maria and her staff cooked a wonderful breakfast. By far the BEST homemade mozzarella and cakes I've ever had! There was a little rain around noon, so we ordered a bottle of wine from their kitchen and sat in the common area and enjoyed the views before walking through the property. The property itself is worth wandering. Its lined with lemon trees, rosemary, grape vines and beautiful flowers!

The staff are very helpful and anything that is not on the buffet, if they have they will make for you e.g toast, eggs etc. Fresh lemon juice available everyday. We stayed at the Villa that was located just outside and a little bit above the main Villa where everyone else was staying. It was a very nice self catering facility with 2 modern shower rooms and 2 rooms and a large lounge. The lemon orchard is a beautiful site to see as you are walking up to the main Villa. First time we have seen real organic natural lemons. It has parking on site there too. Met a few couples that were staying there and all very nice and friendly. It was my 40th birthday while we were there and as a surprise, being a vegetarian the owner had baked an eggless cake for me. She went to the trouble of looking the recipe up on line and baked it herself. I was very very grateful. During our stay we could not have asked for better hosts. If we visit Sorrrento, will definitely go here again x

Lovely hotel, more like a home from home.

Fantastic location, wonderful staff. Maria is so friendly and helpful, her cakes and quiches are a delight at breakfast. Be prepared to walk up fairly steep hills or get a taxi.

A good base

Given the layout of Sorrento and the whole Naples area, you're going to have to take public transport or taxis to get anywhere. So, with that in mind, the Villa is an ideal base, with really friendly staff, a nice quiet setting and centrally located between Amalfi and Naples, with the port and train station not too far. The owner is friendly and interested in the guests, the service is personal and the staff will help you arrange whatever it is you want to do.

The big bonus for me was that several restaurants in the area will send a car to pick you up and drop you off at the Villa doors to save you a taxi fare or walk in the dark.

Fantastic Views!

Lovely hotel. Great views! V comfortable bed. Use of the swimming pool at Hotel Cristina a five min walk away was good. Only 20 min walk from centre of Sorrento if you take the short cut. Don't be put off by the walk. It is nice to get some exercise after all the pizza and pasta! The bars and restaurants in Sant Agnello are only 5 mins away and very good. Lovely cake and chilled limoncello upon arrival!

Lemon Grove Heaven

A beautiful little B and B in Sorrento. Loved the rooftop infinity hot tub, the delicious breakfast and of course the setting among the Lemon trees. Will return.

Lovely small hotel

We had a great time at Villa Oriana, the staff were so friendly and kind. They surprised us all with a birthday cake for my partner, which was such a lovely touch.
It's set on the hillside outside Sorrento which is an ideal escape from the noise and bustle of the town, only a short walk from the centre.
We would recommend this hotel
