Shanti Home - Restaurant di Aversano Salvatore0

Our hosts Umberto and Claudia were super nice and most helpful. They gave us a lift from Sorrento train station to the accommodation and also to the port when we left. They also provided us with a map and information about bus and ferry scheduled when we needed it and made sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was very clean and had a small kitchen so we could prepare snacks and breakfast. We had a big terrace we could eat and enjoy the views. Speaking of which: you get an excellent view of Mount Vesuvius from the terrace! It was a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine during sunset. The apartment itself was in a basemet with it's own entrance from the terrace and the temperature inside stayed low throughout the day. The location was ok. You can easily walk to Sorrento center or to Sant'Agnello. There's a busy road and a train track very near, but the sound didn't bother us. The house is on a narrow calm street that is basically a cul-de-sac, so there's no through traffic. Overall, me and my parter really enjoyed our stay in Shanti Home and definiely recommend this, especially for young(ish) couples. For us it was a home away from home in Sorrento!

We didn't have complaints really, but there there are a few things you shoud know about the place: The locations is ok, but you need to walk to get anywhere. The road to the house is very narrow and may not be suitable for a rental car. To get to the house you need to walk along a busy street with very narrow sidewalks. We vere a bit shocked at firts, but got used to it when we started to understand italian traffic culture. The breakfast is included, but you kinda have to preapare it yourself. They provide eggs, toast, yougurt, cereal, milk etc. But if you want fried eggs there are frying pans and butter provided. For us this was actually a great thing because we wanted to prepare part of the breakfast for snacks when we returned from daytrips.

We very much appreciated Claudia’s help to park our car in the hotel parking lot (recommended for anyone not used to the narrow streets of Sorrento) and bring our luggage to the B&B. The studio is exactly as advertised and is very clean. We enjoyed New Year’s Eve with amazing fireworks that can be watched from the terrasse. Claudia even offered us champagne ! The place is very quiet and an easy 15 minute walk to downtown and good restaurants. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and the place was comfortable for two nights. Claudia also spent some time on the evening of New year’s eve to print us forms that we needed for our flight! We would definitely come back 😊

The location was good, not to far from the centre, but up a hill (which you can only really walk - see my comment about parking). The supply for breakfast was one of the few things that we thought could be improved. It was very basic and perhaps not what one would expect in Italy.

The property cannot really count as having parking. The access to the property by car is extremely difficult and unless you have one of the narrow Italian cars, it is impossible. The alternative is to park at a hotel nearby (down the hill) that the host arranges, but at at extra cost of 40Euros. So the price effectively does not include parking. The other issue of the property is that the toilet door does not close so a bit tricky if you want to privacy. This could easily the fixed.

We spent 3 nights in Sorrento and we were lucky enough to find this property. It’s a hidden jewel. If we come back to Sorrento, it will be our first option. Great apartment, big enough for my family. I have two boys of 12 and 15. You will love the host, which is very relaxed and friendly. In the night, from the terrace you can see the lights from the Veziviu to Napoli coast. Wonderful! Breakfast in the fridge with fresh milk and fruit yougrts, toast bread and butter. Look’s like a dream holiday. That's exactly what I had.

One of the best apartment I have been so far!!! Everything was great. The owner was so kind and helpful - hospitality was one of the things that made our stay so special :) Claudie offered us a ride to train station and cared about our comfort all the time. She was bringing snacks and food and water every day. The apartment is very clean and new and modern. The views are breathtaking from the private garden. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! <3

Shanti Home is the perfect location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, Claudia kindly gave us rides to and from the port on arrival and departure of our stay. She also did some baking for us which was very yummy! We also enjoyed our dinner at the in-home restaurant here, food was super tasty and service excellent. I would definitely recommend staying at Shanti Home.

Shanti Home is located in a nice, peaceful area of Sorrento, but still very close, 10 minutes walk to the center. The accommodation is very comfortable, nicely decorated and has a beautiful garden where you can enjoy the scenery. Close to Shanti home, there is also a less crowded beach, la Martinella, then the ones în the center of Sorrento.Mrs Claudia was very nice and picked us from the station.

Amazing accomodation with good views. Excellent hosts and located close to shops and amenities. Claudia was an exceptional host. Nothing was too much trouble. Extremely helpful.

The climb up to the house but Claudia picked us up when ever we were tired

Beautiful sea views and the host really tried her best to make us comfortable. We got snacks every morning. It's conveniently located and the host picked us up and dropped us off at the central station when we arrived and departed.

WiFi was slow and dropped a few times.

Claudia- the owner is very nice and helpful. The place is clean and has a beautiful view from there terrace. It is 10 minutes walk from the center of Sorrento. You will love it if you like tranquility and silence.

You should come by train or in a really small car. The street is extremely narrow.
