What a stunning find this beautiful apartment was!! Our gorgeous hostess, Stefania, arranged to meet us at a local restaurant so that she could show us around the accomodation, answering any questions we might have at the same time. I would just like to stress at this point how fantastic she was-before we even flew over to Sorrento, she sent us lots of information about the area, places of interest to visit, restaurants we may like to eat at, shops we could use, and routes for driving in the area and from the airport. This was so unexpected, and really helpful when planning our holiday.The apartment is at the lower levels of quite a steep, narrow road so we were glad to have only hired a small car! It has it's own covered parking space right next to the property. Entrance through the large garden is via an electric gate, so security is excellent. We were delighted by the most incredible views over the villages and towns in the valley below, with Mount Vesuvius clearly in the distance, and the blue Mediterranean Sea between the hills. There is lots of outdoor seating positioned in various locations, so we could have the sun on us all day if we wanted! Inside, the apartment is lovely. Entrance is straight into the lounge area, with flat screen TV and free wi-fi. To the left is the kitchen/breakfast room which has the most amazing sliding windows which open so wide we felt as if we were almost in the garden. We spent most of our time at the property sitting in here, just soaking up the view...amazing. At the other end of the apartment there is a shower room with toilet and bidet, a large double bedroom, and a smaller one with bunk beds.Heavy shutters can be lowered at night time if you like your room to be very dark. There is lots of storage space, and the bed was extremely comfortable . It is all the little things which make Casa Fanella even nicer- Stefania had put a delicious bottle of local wine in the fridge for us, plus pasta, sauce, teabags, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, water and crispbreads ready for us so that we did not have to go out for shopping as soon as we had unpacked. Clean linen and towels were put in the outside laundry room for us halfway through our stay- there is an excellent washing machine, and detergent was provided. Stefania was the nicest hostess we have ever had the privilege of meeting-we loved Casa Fanella, and highly recommend this beautiful gem to fellow travellers!
