Villaggio Villa Lubrense

What a great find. The property was clean and beautiful, and every staff member was amazing and happy to help with anything we asked. This is our new favorite vacation spot, and we'll definitely come back. PS. There's one main road, so rent a scooter or small car if you want to explore the beautiful area.

The highlight of our final three nights on our honeymoon was how quiet and restful Villa Lubrense felt amid the busy Amalfi area and the rest of the Gulf. It would suit a weekend away or a longer stay. The views across the Gulf, Vesuvius, and Naples are hard to beat. There's a small rocky beach about a 15-minute hike down the rock face, with a few restaurants nearby. The place we tried served the best pasta we had in Italy. Bagni Regina Giovanna is also easy to reach and well worth seeing, about a 30-minute walk from the Villa or 20 minutes if you bus to Capo. Sorrento is around 15 minutes away by bus, which costs 2 euro and comes every 20 minutes. A scooter is a good idea if you're comfortable renting one, since the bus can be unreliable. Be sure to note where the stops are. We had no real issues, though. I especially want to thank Fabiola. We arrived late after a difficult day and a mistake on my part, and she stayed late and came to pick us up herself. I'll always remember that, she saved our honeymoon!

The quiet atmosphere and fantastic views made for a really enjoyable stay. Our room was changed and cleaned regularly, with supplies replenished, so I wouldn't worry about the toilet paper comments in other reviews. The coffee was lovely and served with a smile, though breakfast didn't have the healthy choices I wanted. Fresh fruit and Greek yogurt would've been nice. One detail that wasn't clear from the website is that the hotel doesn't serve dinner. The nearest restaurant is a 10-minute walk uphill. We enjoyed two nice walks down to the beach, even though the climb back up was steep. We found the buses regular. Some let you pay onboard and others require payment in the app, probably because there are different operators. It's €2 to Sorrento, near the train station and buses to the Amalfi coast. We left early to stay with a friend, but would definitely return. I'm sure Fabiola and the team could have adjusted breakfast to suit us if we'd asked. With the language barrier, WhatsApp was the easiest way to communicate. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We stayed in the bungalows and had a lovely view over the area. The setting was gorgeous, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The pool and bar were lovely too. I'd definitely recommend it.
