Marina Azure

Set directly on the shoreline of Sorrento’s Marina Grande, this apartment puts you right above the water. You’ve got a private balcony looking straight over the harbour, with fishing boats below and Mount Vesuvius in the distance – perfect for lazy coffees or sunset drink. It’s in a historic building with no lift, but restaurants and bars are right downstairs. Inside, the kitchen, dining and living areas flow together so the sea views stay front and centre. It’s a bit cosy if you’re at full capacity, with beds in the living area and a shared en-suite, but the location more than makes up for it.

Home truths:
*While the home can sleep up to seven people, the maximum occupancy is six guests.
*At full occupancy, three or four guests will sleep in the living area, which has a double sofa bed and two single beds. There's also an additional single bed in the bedroom.
*The bathroom here is an en-suite, which all guests will need access to. As is common in Italy, the toilet is separate from the shower.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb 60 stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
