Keen to be in the heart of Sorrento? If yes, this studio apartment, perched above the bustling Corso Italia, may be the one for you. All you'll need is within walking distance here, be it beaches and bus stations or shops and restaurants. And if the location doesn't win you over, the two private outdoor spaces likely will. One is perfect for sunbathing and sundowners, while the second overlooking the street is ideal for people-watching. Inside, the open-plan layout won't suit everyone – nor will the compact kitchen – but we think it does the job just fine.

Home truths:
*This is a studio apartment. The bedroom, living area, and kitchen are all in the same room.
*The double bed can be arranged as two singles upon request. A third guest may also be able to sleep on the sofa, but we think this home is best for two.
*Though there's a lift in the building, it only goes to the second floor. You'll need to climb the stairs to reach this apartment on the fourth floor.
*Your host can provide a cot upon request if you're travelling with little ones.
*While this apartment is fairly quiet for its location, some street noise is likely.
*The kitchen is small and has basic kitchen appliances. We think it's best for lighter bites. That said, you've got the pick of Sorrento's restaurants nearby.
