Our overall rating isn't amazing, but we would recommend it. The walk into town is about 30min, which is fine and we liked the excercise. Pool area was nice, the "beach" was a short walk away, coming from Australia we were not accustom to the lack of san though. Nice place to relax, we went at as things started to slow down. Mini market is good value and the restraurant is lovely.

Definitely no free breakfast or wi-fi, but still a great value. Beautiful private beach and the day trip' to Capri was well worth the time and money. Location is every part of a 20 minute walk from downtown Sorrento, I'm 6'4" and a dedicated runner and the walk took me closer to 25 minutes.

The staff very friendly and their English was good. The photos of the campsite did not fully reflect the place but was not a world away. The facilities were basic but clean however my cabin was in slight disrepair.

It's more of a camping ground with cabins than a hostel, We were upgraded to the private double for no extra cost. 20 min walk into town isn't that bad. We have a great view from our cabin and the stay were always friendly and very helpful. Would recommend for anyone wanting to take it easy for a while.

Excellent budget accommodation. The restaurant is tasty and convenient and the beach (flat rock not sand) is pretty spectacular just be careful when planning public transport to and from campsite (walking is not an option). Give yourself extra time if leaving early for to catch train. The first bus that passed the campsite didn't come until 6:40 even though they were supposed to start service before 6. Best to pay for cab if you are pressed for time and need to be in town before 7.

The staff were very helpul and I must say knew a lot more than I had hoped ref. cost of travelling e.t.c. Had a lovely trip out from the site to Capri on the boat, so could not be more convenient. Resturant and shop very handy and lovely to cool off in the pool after a hot day (but it closes at 7pm). There is the occasional ant in the cabins, but this will happen when the weather is so hot. Also excellent as the bus stop in either direction is right outside the entrance!

The resort is located far from the city center, and the bus is relativly expensive. The cabins would have been OK if it had not been FULL of ants (on beds, in the shower, everywhere). I would definitly recommend to look for somthing more central if you are not planning on having a car.

Great hostel! The bungalows are quaint, comfortable and provide everything that one could ask for on a short vacation/excursion. Prime location to explore the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento is a beautiful town, and though swamped with wealthy tourists during the summer months, it maintains its port town charm. Not the best choice for practicing Italian as everyone will speak English to you. The walk from here down hill to Sorrento is nearly impossible as there is no shoulder and many fast cars.

It would be great if all the showers had hot water. But other than that, the best place to stay.

absolutely stunning location, its easy to have an amazing time here without trying. We met some lovely people and the staff were really easy going and friendly. Do the capri boat tour - unbelievable! we stayed in a cabin which was nice and light, and made the camping experience slightly more civilised which was nice! Definitely recommend this place, its the best summer retreat.

I just slept there one night, in a bungalow. The place is peaceful, with a lot of trees and 15 min walking from Sorrento. But the place is invaded by ants !!

not your ordinary hostel, my girlfriend and I stayed in a cabin surrounded by olive groves and it was sweet - had a table and chairs (which i stole from other cabins during the night) out the front so we cooked our meals at the kitchen and had it outside. extremely basic but thats all you need! 20 min walk down on a dangerous road to the start of town but other than that was sweet!

Really lovely campsite and a bargain, the staff go out of their way to be helpful. it does get a bit loud during the children's disco but there is a very nice bar round the corner to hang out at for those hours or you can give the Irish bar in town a look in :) The beach is small but amazing ( it is actually better than the one in Positano for swimming ) .There is also a small cooking hut available which is handy.
