Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed at the Villa Oriana Relais in late Sept ,2023 for 3 nites. Maria, the owner and her staff made our visit a pleasure. Our room was spacious and very comfortable with great views of Sorrento and the coast. Maria also baked many items for breakfast each morning - a great way to start the day. We celebrated our 52nd anniversary during our visit so Maria baked us some heart shaped cookies and also gave us a bottle of Prosecco. Overall, a great visit.

We had a incredible time staying at the villa ! Maria and her staff answer every question and are extremely helpful in planning daily activities and help with ferry transfers etc. We were given a lovely bottle of champagne for our anniversary! The breakfast and the attention to detail was over the top. This was a lovely ,safe and extremely clean establishment . I would recommend 100%.

We had the pleasure of staying here as part of our mini-moon in Sorrento! The Villa is so welcoming and an oasis of calm from the busy centre of Sorrento. Whilst it is approx. 20 minutes walk to the centre, there is a pedestrian shortcut to the main road. Maria and her team made sure to greet us and show us all the facilities and provided information on the area, things to do and restaurant recommendations. The rooms are spacious and equipped with all the amenities needed. The rooftop terrace and hot tub provide breath-taking views of the coast. Now to mention the best bit.. Maria’s breakfast; it was quite simply delicious and full of tasty treats both sweet and savoury. You can see the effort Maria and her team put in to making sure guests feel this is their home away

Our family of 4 stayed here. We booked this hotel as part of our last leg of the trip and expected a lot more. We spent a lot of money on this hotel. There is no elevator we had to carry our luggage up and down. I believe there is someone there to help but when we got there we had to do it on our own. Columba greeted us with a big smile and she was very friendly. We ended up having to pay extra for kids here. This hotel not a family friendly hotel it is definitely geared towards couples. I felt bad that I was shhhhing my kids the whole time because it's soooooo quiet in this hotel. Not that my kids are rowdy but they do like to talk lol. Even breakfast felt like no one was communicating. My son enjoyed Maria's cakes daily. Breakfast was same everyday with a variety of cakes,

Responded 12 Oct 2023
Dear Bansal family, We are deeply saddened by your words and reading that you wouldn't come back to Villa Oriana Relais really makes us feel terrible. Unfortunately our hotel is a small accomodation of only six rooms and we cannot afford as many services as big hotels such as the Hotel Cristina you mentioned. What we can assure you is that on every booking website we make it clear about the services we offer and about our not-so-central location so at reservation time our guests already know what to expect. Villa Oriana Relais is highly recommended for whoever wants to have a relaxing and peaceful stay in Sorrento, away from the crowds and the noise and we are sorry that our quite atmosphere wasn't what you were looking for. We are thankful and glad though that you could appreciate our breakfast and the spacious room you were in. Our kindest regards, Maria and her staff

Lovely place. Spacious room with a private balcony in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by fruit and olive trees. The owner is delightful and prepares a breakfast feast fresh each morning. Homemade quiche and sweet breads, local marmalades, fruit, tomatoes and mozzarella, fresh juice. You must leave time for breakfast. A great place to get away from the crowds. The walk to town is a little long and the way back is steep. The manager arranged for restaurants to pick us up and return us after dinner. Wonderful stay.

This place is amazing! We stayed here on our honeymoon and it was by far the best place we stayed in. They have the best breakfast every morning and the staff are so friendly. It is only about a mile walking to the downtown area. I highly recommend this place!

This is a truly lovely hotel. It has some of the best views we had ever seen. The breakfasts were incredible and a highlight of every day, with fresh cakes baked every morning. Drinking on the balcony watching the sunset was a definite highlight of our trip. The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms had character. We would love to return.

The view is great. The staff are wonderful- so helpful, friendly, and patient. The breakfast buffet is the best I've enjoyed around the world. Maria bakes cakes, croissants, and other pastries fresh daily- divine. The food is sourced from their gardens, so it doesn't get much fresher. I highly recommend this boutique hotel!

We arrived home in England yesterday after spending two of the most enjoyable weeks of our lives at Villa Oriana. The hotel's position is incredible, the level of comfort extraordinary, the breakfasts beyond belief - and as for the team of staff, they are fantastic. This all begins from the top and one of the many delights is that Maria invites guests to stay in her family home; all the staff take this very seriously and are always helpful, kind and efficient. We love spending time in Italy and have become accustomed to amazingly high standards but Villa Oriana takes it to new levels.
