Handy getaway
The apartment was perfect for our stay in Sorrento. The location was ideal and meant we could leave the car and walk to beach, shops and restaurants. The unit itself was efficiently appointed and had a brilliant sense of space indoors and out.

A quiet getaway in great location
A small, private but adequate place to stay for a couple of nights. It's best feature is that it is within walking distance to beach and main street of Sorrento It has had an upmarket large bathroom renovation and although very nice didn't quite fit in with the casual feel of the place A portable electric hot plate is provided and microwave for reheating purposes rather than cooking a meal Towels ( well washed ) and bed linen provided but no top sheet for the bed Probably better if guests bring their own The outdoor area would benefit from an umbrella in warm weather The host was friendly, easy to communicate with and kindly offered us a late check out

Uplifting Happy Vibes!
My wife and I found this beautiful place to be perfect for her weekend birthday getaway. It had everything we needed and more. Relaxing spaces with good positive vibes throughout in a very private setting. It was a massive bonus to find how close in a short walk this place was to the Sorrento shopping district. Our host Daryl made everything so perfect with instructions, codes inc wifi and directions for check in/out so that all we had to do was arrive. Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean with a thoughtful approach in its design and supply of items to cater for all our needs during our stay. We have stayed in many places in recent times and although some have been 2-3 times the cost, this lovely place is our best pick so far and we will definitely be back. We love coming to gorgeous Sorrento and there is no better place for us than Darling retreat.

Great property close to town
The property was clean and tidy and the owner contacted us in the morning to confirm he was leaving the heater on which was a great surprise. There was so much room and made the stay very comfortable and great peace of mind as well to be able to park the car within a secured car parking space.

Good Budget stay
Check in easy and off street parking under roller door. Odd layout inside. Bed very creaky and firm. TV reception not working due to Ariel being moved by contruction next door. Towels very poor, no hand towels. Short walk to shops and cafes make it very accessible. Definitely a budget stay.
