You will find a... number of restaurants, the stop for the SITA bus Amalfi - Sorrento line a few meters (feet) away and the closest beach at 200 meters (approximately 656 feet).

The Azzurra apartments are part of an an historical villa placed on a cliff that drops steeply down to the sea. The villa is located in the most ancient and elegant area of Sorrento, in the heart of the historical and tourist center.

The villa itself is an historical monument of Sorrento. It is an important piece of the landscape of Sorrento, for its elegance and beauty, and for its exceptional position on the volcanic cliff, centrally located between the tourist port and the beaches. It is not by chance that you will find the villa pictured in thousands of postcards.

While staying here, you will be living in a romantic piece of Sorrento's history.

The construction of the villa took place during the nineteenth century, a period during which rich intellectual travelers, composers and poets, traveled from the north of Europe to the south of Italy, discovering the beauty and enchantment of over two thousand years of history. As it happened, a rich German baron, Von Gunderrode, after having traveled around the whole world, chose this place as his residence.

He had several good reasons for choosing this spot, and it is for these same reasons that modern-day travelers are spellbound by this amazing villa. From the large and splendid terrace, placed directly above the sea, you will be able to admire the incomparable scenery of Sorrento and the tall cliffs that dive into the sea. A bit further in the distance, your sight will rest on the large arc of the Gulf of Naples , with the characteristic cone of Mount Vesuvius right in the middle of it. Closer by, you will be able to see other elegant historical mansions, which now are luxury hotels.

If you lean from the balustrade of the terrace, you will see the green-azure sea of Sorrento right below you, with its long, thin strips of beaches, colored by lounges and umbrellas. And there are many more things to delight your senses... the mild climate, the perfume of oranges and lemons.

The villa stands on top of ancient Roman walls, and it is a masterpiece of elegance and gracefulness, from an architectural point of view. On every level there are large terraces and tall windows, built to maximize your enjoyment of the sun, the sky and the sea of this fortunate land.

From the villa, walking along a pathway, you will be able to reach the sea and the beach facilities.

The Villa is just a few steps from the harbor of Sorrento, which can be reached along a pedestrian-only pathway. From the harbor you will be able to board the ferries and the hydrofoils that go to Capri , Ischia , Positano , Amalfi and Naples. The Circumvesuviana train station, which connects Sorrento to Pompeii and to the train station in Naples, is also a short walk from the villa, and so is the bus stop.

From Villa Azzurra you can walk to the most ancient and charming spots of Sorrento, such as the Cathedral and the Cloister of Saint Francis, the gardens, which extend themselves, terrace after terrace, towards the sea and the magnificent view of the Gulf of Naples, Procida and Mt. Vesuvius . Also, you will be able to stroll along Corso Italia, or along the charming and lively alleys of the historical center of Sorrento, to discover the many products made by local artisans. It will be an unforgettable stay.

The cleaning is performed every two days, and linen and towels are changed twice a week. Daily cleaning and room service, as well as a barbecue and a wood-fired brick oven, are available on request.

The above-ground swimming pool is 2.7 meters (8.8 feet) large by 6.5 meter (21 feet) long, 1.2 meters (4 feet) deep. The swimming pool area is equipped with tables, chairs, deck chairs and sun loungers. From the swimming pool you will enjoy a thrilling view of the sea and of the bay of Naples. You will share the pool with the other guests staying at the complex. It is open from mid-May until the end of September.

  A million dollar view...peace and serenity in the heart of Sorre

  Left on 02/11/2011 for a stay in October 2010
  
  

  This was our first trip to Sorrento. We absolutely loved it and would go back in a blink. We stayed in the smallest of the apartments at Villa Azzurra. It was absolutely charming...we could not have asked for more. One bedroom, a small neat little kitchen with everyting you need to cook a good Italian meal and a small bathroom that absoutely met our needs. It was handy to have a little washing machine and a line to hang clothes.
  
  The views from the 5000 square foot terrace were magnificant...a view of the Bay of Naples, the ferry docks and the beautiful coast line. Mornings and evenings were my favourite times of the day to watch all of the hustle and bustle of the seafront from the terrace. ..it was hard to tear ourselves away...but we did. We took a tour for 1/2 day to Pompei...a must see and spent another day on the sea with andrea, the owner of the villa. A more charming and accommodating host you will not meet. We had an amazing day on the sea and a memorable visit to Capri. Definitely take a boat trip with andrea...you will have a blast.
  
  The villa is situated right at the sea front, sitting high up on a cliff, and is a short walk to all of the shopping in Sorrento...take time to explore all of the little streets and shops. There are a broad range of restaurants to try and of course all of the shopping you need if you want to cook at home. I love to cook and it was exciting to explore the grocery shops, fish markets and delis to try my hand at cooking with new ingredients. There is nothing nicer than sitting on the magnificant terrace after a good meal and looking at the lights of the sorrento coast while sipping wine and listening to the music from the dinner club next store.
  
  Walk in the lemon grove in the center of Sorrento, strole the streets...take the time to enjoy this town...its worth the stay. There is so much to see in Italy that it is a shame to rush off every day and not take the time to soak in the vitality of this touristy and vibrant little corner of Italy. I highly recommend Sorrento and the Villa Azzurra.

  Great location in a very friendly private accommodation setting. Andrea is great, and a day out on his boat to Capri is a must.
