The property is surrounded by local shops and eateries.
Services & Parking

The management has been criticized for poor communication and unclean apartments. Some guests reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance.

“The location of Shells Apartments is undeniably its strongest suit, placing you right in the pulse of Sorrento. The apartments themselves offer generous living space, a real bonus for settling in, and the beds are notably comfortable.”
