We received great personal service from Albert. He and Adelaide were always friendly and ready to help if needed and suggest sights that were worth seeing. I highly recommend this property. Itâs about 10 to 15 minutes walk down to the beach (longer coming up again). Also about 5 minutes walk to the Circumvesuviana and itâs direct links to many tourist spots. Train service is sporadic but quick once it turns up. There is also a direct bus service to Naples Airport. The property itself is comfortable, roomy and there is a lovely garden. We feel we made an excellent choice in Villa Pollio.
Very convenient location to Meta train stop, Post office with ATM, grocery store and Covent Garden restaurant. Albert is a wonderful host and Adelaide is very helpful and keeps everything clean and supplies room with breakfast items each day. Both speak excellent English and give good advice on site seeing. Bed is Cal-King size and room is large and opens with double doors to private balcony. Private en-suite bathroom and kitchenette is nice. Very safe to walk around and easy to get to Pompeii and Sorrento in under 30 minutes. In room cable TV but all channels are in Italian. No laundry services.
Villa Pollio is an excellent place to stay for visiting Sorrento, Naples and all the historical sites as it situated about a quarter of a mile from the station.
The rooms are very comfortable with a kitchen and bathroom.
Albert is so helpful and will happily give one advice on trip.
Albert was a wonderful host and very helpful with information and suggestions. The room was clean and very nice overall. Nice little balcony to enjoy our wine and limoncello, which Albert was kind enough to give to my wife and I for our Anniversary. Hope to return!
It was a great stay, the host made every attempt to make us feel welcome. There is not as much in Meta compared to Sorrento itself, but this place is extremely close to the train station and has some good food/grocery stores near it. We also had a lovely time sitting out on the balcony. The only area that could use improvement is the size of the shower, which is a tad bit cramped for a taller guy like myself.
Siamo stati questa settimana in struttura e siamo stati davvero molto bene. Posto molto centrale e tranquillo. Proprietario molto disponibile e preparato sui posti da vedere
Villa Pollio is a B&B with a difference. Your breakfast items are in your room for you to help yourself to and whatever runs out gets replaced. Fantastic Idea and works really well.
Albert is the perfect host, nothing is too much trouble. Extremely knowledgeable about the whole area and can advise you about anything...!
Excellent room (2 rooms in fact) with clean bathroom and nice kitchenette. Ideally located near the local train station and bus station for easy access into Sorrento centre. Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends
Molti i motivi che rendono Villa Pollio una ottima scelta :
- vicinanza alla stazione della circumvesuviana per chi si vuole muovere in treno
- fermata autobus Sita a pochi metri dall'ingresso della villa
- 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia di Meta
- la stanza pulita e di dimensioni ottimali per 2/3 persone
- piccolo angolo cottura molto ben fornito per prepararsi la colazione
- ... ma a nostro avviso il motivo principale Ăš la cordialitĂ di Alberto, il proprietario, sempre molto disponibile per qualunque esigenza e ricco di consigli su escursioni da effettuare in zona
Maravilhoso, um Ăłtimo lugar, perto de uma estacao de trem que dava acesso aos pontos turĂsticos principais. O dono do hotel foi super hospitaleiro com a gente, uma pessoa encantadora que estava sempre disposto a ajudar. O quarto estava limpo, com tudo o que precisĂĄvamos. Amamos a estadia.
This is a fantastic place to stay from the warm friendly welcome to the lovely clean rooms, Albert is the perfect host very friendly and helpful with advice of where to eat and how to get around, the train station is just a short distance from the guest house with sorrento just ten minutes away and Pompeii a 20 minute train ride and Herculaneum 40 minutes, we are looking forward to our next visit and stay at villa pollio
It was fabulous to receive an email from the owner after booking where they offered any assistance if required. It was great to be able to let them know our ETA and generally say 'hello'. I also received a Whatsapp message which was great as it meant that once arrived in Italy I could easily contact the hotel if the flight/train was delayed or got lost etc...
Alberto was great on arrival and showed us our room. I was expecting one room but got two which was a very pleasant surprise with two separate beds (I was expecting to share a bed with a friend but we ended up having our own beds which was great), shower room, plus a kitchenette.
The hotel was in a very convenient location about 5 minutes walk from the train station and 10 minute walk to the sea. It's a very quaint hotel but very clean and comfortable with a lovely view of hills from the balcony. Plus homemade Limoncello :). It was great to be slightly out of the town centre but so easy to get everywhere because of the train.
I would not hesitate in recommending this place.
As a solo traveller I found the hotel to be excellent as a base from which to visit all the places I had planned including Vesivius, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. Area of Meta was less hectic than nearby Sorrento which I found beneficial after sightseeing and more relaxing. I found the area to be very safe and Albert was available for advice and assistance when needed.
I thoroughly enjoyed what was my very first solo trip and would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.
Very nice, clean accommodation. Spacious and well equipped rooms.Small kitchen area and dry breakfast items (croissants etc) stocked up in the room each day along with water in the fridge.
We had rooms at the front with a balcony overlooking a fairly busy road, which although noisy, allowed us to be entertained in the evening watching the locals going about their business, even repairing a burst water main (twice).
Albert the host was really nice and friendly and although we didn't need him for anything he was always available if there had been a problem or any information needed.
The property felt very secure with locked gates outside and a safe in the room. Meta itself was a nice friendly place.
Circumvesuviana was perhaps 3 or 4 minute walk away and Curreri airport bus stop around 10 mins. The public transport was very busy and we often had to stand which could be a problem for some though journey times were short.
Very memorable holiday with lots to fill the days.
Villa Pollio was perfect for myself & a female friend travelling on a budget and ideally located for exploring the stunning Sorrento Amalfi coast. Having a separate kitchen, balcony and space to spread out became essential given the high temperatures in July. Sweltering! Air conditioning worked well in the bedroom though (room 3) and the premises and host very charming and informative with all the information on hand that you will need, nothing was too much to ask. So I wholeheartedly recommend this as a base whilst visiting Amalfi, you soon find your way around (calm & feels very safe at night) and Meta town has all you need whether it's good fresh Italian produce or a fine meal or tasty breakfast, refreshing ice cream. I didn't try one thing during our stay that wasn't delicious!
All in all I give our stay 9/10. Ciao Italy I'll be back!!
My daughter and I stayed at Villa Pollio for nine nights in June. The cleanliness of this charming and homey bed and breakfast was a ten. We saved a lot of money by eating breakfast here every morning and always had a fresh supply of water, juice, milk, pastries, cereal, jelly, and often fresh fruit grown from the garden as well. Alberto is a most attentive host of the bed and breakfast, always making sure we knew where to go for our day trips and helping with the planning. We loved the local restaurant on the beach named Tico Tico so much that we ate there twice. When wandering about the streets of Meta, we came upon a bakery that had the best cookies and also found a couple of wonderful pizzarias. Our trip was wonderful and we were sad to see it end. I would definitely stay at Villa Pollio for a future vacation and bring more family with us next time. We couldn't thank Alberto enough for the experience and Mary, the young woman who helps keep the place spotless.
Soggiorno bellissimo in Costiera, grazie anche alla premurosa ospitalitĂ di Villa Pollio. Deliziosa la camera, tutto pulito e ordinato. I proprietari si sono sempre resi disponibili giorno e notte con il loro modo gentile e premuroso che ci hanno fatto sentire in famiglia. La posizione Ăš di solo 2 minuti dal centro di Sorrento e a 200 metri dalla spiaggia dove vedi tutta la costa. Bellissimo!
Alberto made us feel very welcome, even when we got their late at night due to a delayed flight. Rooms were very spacious, and the kitchen area and air conditioning were a real bonus! Was in close proximity to the train which connects Sorrento and Napoli, and coach to the airport stops nearby too. Local beach is about 20 mins walk away and the very nice Covent Garden pub is very near :)
Thank you Alberto! x
