Scuderie Fondi - Villa a few steps from the sea

Built in the mid '800, the building originally housed the stables of the adjacent Villa de Sangro Fondi. The building, still owned by the de Sangro Fondi family, has recently been completely renovated.

Furnished with original furniture and prints, it still retains the charm of the period house, while being equipped with all modern comforts.

The large garden, typical "fondo Sorrentino" with large citrus groves, walnut trees, ornamental plants and equipped patio, frame this historic residence and allow the parking of 2-3 cars.

The property is conveniently located in the historic center of Piano di Sorrento. Just 50 meters from the villa is the elevator that leads down to the characteristic village of Marina di Cassano, home to typical restaurants, bathing establishments and a base for tourist boat trips, as well as a place of embarkation for Capri.

At 700 meters is the Circumvesuviana train station, with which it is possible to reach the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as the city of Naples.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of the helpful staff at this villa. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Villa Fondi. The villa includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned villa with kitchen, washing machine, and 5 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Just a 4-minute drive from Corso Italia and 6 minutes from Piazza Tasso
This villa offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Piano di Sorrento villa is smoke free.

Sorrento Trip
The communication from the host Valentino was exceptional. We did an amazing dinner inside with Ross one night which was also very special. House is very spacious and clean. If I had any feedback that was all negative the aerial photo of the property led me to believe there was maybe a vista of the ocean from the house and there is not. Not the end of the world just a little bit confusing. Also, piano de Sorrento is a bit away from Sorrento proper so it required repeated Taxi rides to Sorrento. You could take the train which would be much more cost-effective but a little bit cumbersome. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Great place to stay!
We really enjoyed the location, property and grounds. Pretty cool to stay in a place from the 800s. We opted for to have dinner made for us at home too. Great selection of options and it was nice to have someone cook and clean up for us at our place. Some of the furnishings a re a little worn but it adds to the charm. Highly recommend for a large group.

Hidden Gem
The photos and descriptions don't do Scuderie Fondi justice. It was so charming and peaceful and outside of the hustle and bustle of Sorrento proper. Valentino (the manager) and Rosa (the cooking grandma) were so incredibly welcoming and made us feel like family. Definitely have Rosa cook a meal for you. If you have never had your own Italian grandma, Rosa is more than willing to fill that unfortunate void for you! We would love to go back and spend a month or two there sometime - except we'll have to pack a second wardrobe that is a size bigger because it's impossible not to indulge on all of the incredible food!

Wonderful!
This property is a lovely, private villa in Piano di Sorrento. The train station is about a 10 min walk and the waterfront/beach/marina are a quick elevator ride or 10 min walk away. Communication with Riccardo (via VRBO) and Valentino (via WhatsApp) was easy. Valentino answered many questions, greeted us when we arrived, and arranged a ride to the Naples airport at the end of our stay. The property is clean, well-stocked (two kitchens!) and the air conditioning works great. Plenty of space for our group of 9. One of the highlights was having dinner cooked by Rosa one night. She had come when we arrived with drinks and a delicious apple cake and is available for private meals. We picked the menu and she came and cooked-it was delicious and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend! There are ferry options out of Piano di Sorrento to visit Capri, Amalfi and Positano. Times are limited, so you can take the train to Sorrento for more options. Pompeii is also an easy train ride away. Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing Sorrento Area Stay!
We had 12 people, and this was a great fit for us! Valentino and Rosa were great, and the location was in an area ‘off the touristy Sorrento area’ which was nice and quiet and still a great marina/beach area to hang out at. We had such an amazing time, and it was a quick walk up to the train station to take a 5-min ride (1.5€ ea) to get into Sorrento. Recommend 100%!

Our Family Italian trip
It was wonderful. We all arrived at different times of the day. Valentino was so helpful in getting us situated. We, 13 of us, settled into our rooms suited to each pair. Our 21 year old twin grandgirls had to sleep on a pull out couch and their bathroom was off the kitchen near their room. We heard no complaints. We loved Piano. Taking the elevator down to the beach or walking into town was a delight. It was not crowded like Sorrento. We all went into Sorrento a few times, to Naples and Pompeii, hiked the Path of God with a guide and took a wonderful boat ride to Capri for a 7 hour experience. The villa was all that it said it was. Rosa cooked us a marvelous dinner one night and had a snack and wine when we arrived. This is a special place.🇮🇹❤️

A beautiful stay outside of Sorrento
If you are looking for a property outside of Sorrento with incredible views- this is your place. The rooms were beautifully decorated with some of the most incredible pieces. I loved the simplicity of the hanging art and the large furniture pieces that outfitted each room. The bathrooms have large showers and plenty of room. The space was immaculately clean and had everything you needed including a washer and great hanging racks outside. The fruits trees on the property were a huge bonus!!! Piano di Sorrento is just outside of Sorrento and Valentino provided us a great name of a taxi driver that helped us during our entire stay! A few steps from the property are delicious cafes and views of the water. The sunsets were spectacular! We loved the Monday morning market just outside the home gates! It was a highlight of the trip. Lastly- if you stay at this property, we HIGHLY recommend using chef Rosa to cook a few meals after long days along the coast. She welcomes you with huge open arms are creates the best meals- most of it comes fresh from her own garden! She gets 5 stars!!! We loved the property and recommend it for your next Sorrento holiday!

Wow! Perfect Vacation Home
We spent a week at Scuderie Fondi and the stay was perfect. The house is beautiful and spacious. It's interesting history with the museum and park across the street is fascinating. The five bedrooms are lovely and really big. Our group of eight included three couples and two unmarried adult children. Everything you need is conveniently close to the house. It is also a great launching location to the sites on the Amalfi and Sorrento area. Riccardo is a gracious host and his manager Valentino was terrific. He was very accessible and helpful in every way. If you go to Pompei and or Herculeum, ask him how to contact Pina who was our tour guide. She was terrific and so helpful to us with logistics. The final gift of this place is Rosa who prepared several incredible meals for us. She is lovely, friendly and an incredible cook. To have her provide us with dinner on the day we all traveled to that wonderul house was the best! Absolute great vacation house.

Fantastic Holiday at Scudiere Fond
Scudiere Fondi was just as promised in the listing and an oasis for our family holiday with 3 generations. Super convenient location near the harbour, restaurants, town, the Monday market and the train station made it easy for us to not rent a car and allow family members to come and go as they pleased. Great jump off location to access the whole area from Naples to Amalfi in day trips without being in the fray of highly visited areas. The beautiful villa grounds with lemons, very sweet and juicy oranges and figs were a treat to be in and eat from. The house is well kept and versatile for large groups, eating in or out, plenty of space to spread out. Bedrooms all have beautiful light and views. Valentino the host, was incredibly helpful answering questions about the area, helping to make arrangements for day trips (ferries, boats, cars and cheese factory tour) and attentive to any needs at the property. Rosa who cooked 2 dinners for us was delightful, entertaining and an excellent cook She accommodated our dietary needs and sourced the most delicious zucchini and potatoes from her garden as well as incredibly delicious local specialty yellow skinned chicken. She also made a delicious chocolate almond birthday cake to help celebrate a birthday. A terrific spot for a family holiday.

Great week in the Sorrento area
Very spacious, unique property walking distance from many amenities. Our group had 10 people for part of the week we spent in the property and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms to accommodate everyone. Valentino spoke English very well and communicated proactively in the days leading up and during our stay. We were also greeted with a snack prepared by Rosa, who we also hired to prepare two exceptional dinners for us during the week. This gated, private property with a lot of character sits amidst an orange and lemon grove. It's close to the marina and the train station in Piano di Sorrento. Sorrento, itself, is easily accessible either by train or by foot. This is a property that should be considered for larger groups looking for a comfortable house in the area.

A Perfect Vacation
We have been traveling with our children, and now grandchildren, for many years. Our ages for the ten of us range from 83 to 12 and this villa was perfect for all of us. It is quite sizeable with two kitchens, several gathering spaces and large bedrooms and baths. But the piece de resistance is its location near the water with a large and very peaceful garden. We knew that Sorento itself might be overcrowded, and it was, but the large garden was always a refuge at the end of a busy day. Our children walked into Sorrento from the house while my husband and I walked or took the elevator down the cliff to find a snack or a swim. Mornings we walked out the front gate and turned the corner to have coffee and a croissant along the terrace above the sea. The house is very well stocked with everything one could possibly need and more. However, just up the street is a small supermarket. Check in was easy peasy. Valentino was onsite to let us in along with Rosa, who can be your cook if you choose. She had the kitchen table laid out with wine, water and a homemade apple cake. In the fridge was more wine and water! Valentino was always nearby and is available should anything be needed--which it never was. He did arrange a boat around the bay for our children and made excellent recommendations for dinner and pastries! All in all, this was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in--Thank you Ricardo, Valentino and Rosa.

Beautiful House
If you are looking for a beautiful house, near the water (with fantastic sunset views) then look no farther. This house is away from the crowds, there’s a grocery store right down the block and the property manager lives next door and is always there to help. We were 3 couples and had plenty of room and privacy. The front garden is magnificent and you can sit amongst the citrus trees and truly relax. Would highly recommend this property! There’s also plenty of room for a vehicle on property should you have one.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend
We had a group of 6 adults traveling from the US to Rome, Florence and Piano di Sorrento in the last week of September. Of all 3 rentals we stayed in Italy, this was by far the most beautiful place and experience! Beautiful home, beautiful garden, perfect location so close to the water and the train, and the villa manager, Valentino, was amazing! We stayed for 4 nights and had no problems. We were greeted by Valentino and Rosa who had prepared a cake and had an amazing bottle of wine to welcome us. We had dinner prepared for us by Rosa one evening. It was one of the best meals we had our whole trip! Valentino helped us by arranging a boat tour to Capri, gave us suggestions for restaurants and helped arrange a ride to Naples for some of us. He was very polite and checked on us everyday to make sure everything was going well. There are no words to explain how well he worked with and helped us. I would recommend this villa to everyone! 5+ stars!!

Magical
We LOVED this house. The house is beautiful and spacious and had plenty of room for our group of 11 people. There are two kitchens, and each bedroom has its own thermostat that kept us cool in the July heat. The backyard was a surprise - we were amazed at the beautiful lemon and orange trees growing there. The house is across the street from a cliff overlooking the bay we could walk to several times. Getting to the Sorrento city center only took 10 minutes and we always found easy parking. The property was able to fit our 3 cars behind a locked gate to keep them safe. The check-in process was very smooth and the team accommodated our travel delays. Ricardo, Valentino, Martina and Rosa made us feel welcome (including baking a welcome cake!). Valentino frequently checked in with us to ensure we were comfortable. We decided to do the home-cooked meal at the house and are SO glad we did. Rosa made an incredible multi-course dinner in the house, complete with homemade limoncello. We all agreed that the dinner was one of the best meals we had in Italy. This was the best place we stayed at during our 2 weeks in Italy and we would happily recommend it to others.

Fantastic villa!
The beautiful villa accommodated 10 adults easily. Our favourite place was the spacious terrace in the front yard surrounded by the beautiful lemon and orange trees. The town is a very short stroll away and has everything we needed for our stay. If you want a bigger town you can even walk to Sorrento (about 35-40 minutes). We didn’t have a car and didn’t need one. Steps from the front gate is the elevator to the sandy beach. Coordinating with Riccardo was very easy and Valentino was helpful throughout the week. Wonderful people! We arranged a home cooked meal from Rosa and it was so amazing that we arranged a second one for our last evening. Five stars for Rosa! If you are looking for a comfortable, spacious and conveniently located villa this is it!

Exceeded all expectations. A charming villa set in a tranquil neighborhood walking distance to the train station. From the moment you enter through the gates into the private garden of orange and lemon trees, you are instantly relaxed. The large and historic villa was able to accommodate our family of twelve including small children with ease. One of the highlights of our stay was having Rosa, a private chef, prepare two traditional Italian dinners at the villa.

A magnificent property and experience!
Our group of 13 (6 adults and 7 children ranging in age from 7-13) stayed at this gem of a property for 5 nights. It was one of those rare experiences where the property was even better than the pictures! We had so much room to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The gardens are huge with orange and lemon trees bursting with fruit. The downstairs portion of the home is a renovated horse stable with charming intact details. There is a large kitchen, two eating areas, and three separate & spacious living rooms. The upstairs portion of the house has the second kitchen, dining area, living area, five large bedrooms, and four bathrooms. We all slept very well in the large and comfortable beds. The bedrooms are decorated with wonderful antique furniture, and the bathrooms were large and renovated. We had lovely views of Sorrento from the upstairs window as well! For two of the nights, we had the chef cook dinner for our group. Her name is Rosa and she is absolutely wonderful. She accommodated the children’s allergies, and had vegetarian and meat options for our group of mixed eaters. Her gnocchi, zucchini pasta, seafood spaghetti, and tiramisu was some of the best food we had in Italy. Valentino, the property manager was in contact with us everyday and worked to arrange all of our special outings, including transport to Naples and a chartered boat to Capri. He was so wonderful and answered every question we had immediately. Don’t hesitate to book this amazing property!

An Amazing Family Vacation
We are a three generation family of 5 adults and two children. The Villa was perfect for us to be together and yet everyone still had their own space. Our host, Valentino, greeted us warmly and was always available by text to help out in any way. And Rosa, on our request, prepared an amazing dinner at home one night. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity! She is delightful! The Villa itself is incredible as it is spacious and elegant, spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen and crisp white linens on every bed. The location is perfect as well. The center of Sorrento is a 25-30 minute walk and after a day of its hustle and bustle, you will be happy to return to the peaceful Villa. Since we arrived in two cars, secure parking on the grounds was a bonus. Except for a drive on the Amalfi coast, we never had to use them during our stay. Thank you Riccardo, Valentino and Rosa for being a part of our family’s trip of a lifetime!
