The property was extrememy spacious with a wonderful bathroom, kitchen and seating area. The only criticism I have is that I couldn't find any spare blankets and got quite cold as I didnt wish to have the heater running all night due to noise. Secondly, the beds were very firm and made my shoulders hurt over a prolonged period of time. Other than that, the locations was excellent and the family room and balcony were perfect.

3Bedroom Apartment Sorrento.
There were 6 people who were attending a Wedding at All Smiles Wedding venue last weekend. I booked Shells Apartments through Wotif. We found the location very handy being in the centre of the main shopping centre of Sorrento. The Apartment suited us for the weekend and the amenities were clean the bedrooms were set up for our needs. The Staff were only to happy to help if we needed anything. We would stay here again.

Overall good but minor disappointments
Good service, good size apartment and overall clean and tidy. Inside fridge and sponge provided was dirty which was a disappointment as well as damaged toilet seat. Also not keen on the terms & conditions of having to take out all trash when leaving otherwise incurring extra charges. Despite this, the apartment is in a great location.
