Plane deinen Aufenthalt in Massa Lubrense

We booked the Fattoria Terranova through a UK wedding planning company for our wedding in Sorrento in June. The place is amazing, the staff couldn't do enough for us on the day and even the build up to the wedding. They were happy to mix up the menus and catered for all our guests, all the vegetables and herbs which were served are grown on the grounds and tasted amazing! All of our guests loved this place and agreed that it was by far the best wedding they had been too. We found the drinks prices were very reasonable, it was €10 a bottle for wine, €16 for prosecco and the spirits were around €7, this may be because we purchased so much lol. The food we were served was all amazing, it tasted fabulous! I can't recommend this venue to anyone looking for something a little different for their wedding!

Prenotato tramite Booking, una camera vista mare con largo anticipo , perché innamorati del luogo che avevamo già visto. Arrivati ci hanno assegnato una camera che non era soddisfacente nè come spazi nè come vista che dava in parte sul mare ed in parte sul cortile con i sacchi della spazzatura (n.203) ; il bagno stretto e senza finestra . Per fortuna la gentilissima Imma alla reception ci ha cambiato la stanza e due giorni dopo ci siamo trasferiti sulla palazzina esterna , con spazi decisamente migliori, ed anche vista migliore, anche se non proprio silenziosa. Attenzione, le stanze vista mare non sono tutte uguali, le migliori sono quelle al terzo e quarto piano: al momento della prenotazione, però, non si capisce quale stanza tu stia fermando e siccome le camere sono così diverse tra loro, questo diventa un grosso limite: non può essere solo questione di fortuna se alloggi in una bella stanza oppure no, considerando che la paghi la stessa cifra. Colazione monotona, poco varia, per sette giorni hanno offerto le stesse cose sia dolci che salate e personale scortese. Un apprezzamento, invece, ad Antonio, autista della navetta che ci ha pazientemente accompagnato al parcheggio.

This was a last minute booking, desperate as we were to find somewhere/ANYWHERE near Sorrento and the coast which offered free parking.Turned out, we added an extra night as it was such an enjoyable hotel to stay in. The hotel sits on the main road to Massa Lubrense itself, an attractive large village about two miles away. Good Tourist Info off ice here too.The area of Massa Lubrense is rural, olive and lemon groves, a world away from the urban feel of nearby Sorrento. Lovely, bright room with a pretty balcony overlooking the sea and Capri…you could never get fed up with that view and sunset! And the stars at night! Beautiful. I hate road noise and was concerned that the hotel was right on the local provincial road but we were out and about all day and the local traffic that did use the road all died down by early evening.Somehow, it didn’t seem to matter and it was very quiet overnight as the road is not the main one you use to access the Amalfi Coast. Excellent breakfast buffet, anything you could want.Staff were very friendly and nice too. We ate in both nights and the food was really tasty, truly home made quality, perfect really, plenty of it and terrific value I thought.10 euro for Veal a La Limone! Not so keen on the desserts but I don’t rate Italian desserts or cakes anyway so that’s just me.There was a sweet trolley, something nice to see for a change. Superb fresh sourdough bread with meals too. Would definitely come back here…Massa Lubrense is a lovely, quieter area yet with great walks and drives to pretty corners. The bus to Sorrento takes 10 mins and stops right out side the hotel.Wouldn’t stay in that busy, hectic town for love nor money but worth a look. The easy, free parking right outside our hotel was so relaxing to have. Big family lunch on , on the Sunday we arrived, in a private suite , so it clearly is rated highly by locals too. We’ll be back!
