Hi there... I've just returned from the October 2012 Sorrento trip. Fabulous.. very well organised, very informative guide and lots of walking so be prepared!

So pleased I did it! It was my first Just You trip - lessons learnt - book early for best hotel rooms... The hotel used was the Vi Theresa - very good location, very clean, staff lovely, rooms OK, food a bit disappointing - not much fresh produce used and could only really be described as OK. I took some cereal bars out with me and I'm glad I did. Some early morning starts and not always an opportunity to have anything between breakfast and lunch (if you are used to having something in between).

Have a great time

Hi

I’m also just back from the October trip (Jill it was lovely to meet you by the way) and I agree entirely with your comments re the hotel, although I was one of the lucky ones to get a really nice room and big balcony!

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip as it offers a great mix of historical interest (Vesuvius and Pompeii) together with stunning scenery featuring the Bay of Naples, Capri and the coastal road (which you’ll travel along a few times if you do the optional extras, all of which I recommend by the way).

Even if you do all of the extras, you’ll still have the best part of 4 half days completely free to do as you wish so this trip is not as hectic as some of the others JY offer. The town square, marina and most other places of interest are all within 10-20 minutes walk of the hotel so as Jill says, it’s well placed for your free time.

If you go I definitely recommend using a free afternoon to visit Herculanem, which was also destroyed by Vesuvius. It’s a simple train ride from Pompeii and easy to get the train back to Sorrento afterwards.

Hope this helps!

Hi there, I'm thinking about doing this holiday next year, maybe 22nd May, if I do, it will be my 4th holiday with Just You, they really are a fantastic company to travel with and you are looked after so well.

Might see you there then! ~ Best wishes ~ Anni
