Cubo Apartments

We booked these apartments as a base to explore the area including Naples, Amalfi and Capri. The train station was 2mins walk from the apartment and the area is out of the tourist areas (which we preferred) its a very beautiful place with lots of amenities for shops/food etc. We loved our stay here, the apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped. We had the one bedroom sea view that had a double bed with a fold out double bed sofa that was very sturdy. The view was lovely of mount Vesuvius and the apartment was very modern with wifi, electrical shutters for the windows and a fob system for the locks. We felt very secure here. The family who own the apartments were very accommodating and helpful and the breakfast was AMAZING!!! It was like a tasting selection of home made cakes, croissants, fruit from their garden and freshly cooked omelettes. The grandmother of the house made a lemon ricotta style cheese cake with sponge around it that was amazing myself, partner and Daughter fought over the last spoonful!! The room got new towels and a clean daily, breakfast was also included in the price, giving it a great middle ground to a hotel and a self catering apartment. The only negative was the road outside doesn't slow down and can be loud, although the shutters do drown it out a little bit. The only improvement we would suggest is adding a full length mirror into the room. We would highly recommend this to anyone and if we return to the area we would definitely go back. Im not one for writing reviews but we really enjoyed this stay and felt it deserved the time to feedback and help others choose it too.

Outstanding service and hospitality! Nice, clean and well equipped apartment. Beautiful view over the sea, towards Vesuvio and Napoli. Breakfast includes home grown fruit and produce from the owners garden. Helpful, lovely staff! Vico Equence is a very nice «base camp» for exploring the Sorrento peninsula by car (underground parking across the street from the hotel), and it’s just a few minutes train ride from Sorrento. Beautiful, smaller and less «touristy» than Sorrento, with some good restaurants and a nice, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend staying at Cubo Appartments and would love to revisit this lovely hotel and area again:)

My wife, 5-year old daughter, and I stayed here for 4 nights in September 2024 and found it to be a reasonably good accommodation, even if we did seriously question our decision to stay in Vico as opposed to Sorrento. As it so happens, on each of the three full days we were in the area, we had activities starting in Sorrento – whether it be a farm tour in Massa Lubrense or a bus tour of the Amalfi Coast – and we found the train system connecting Vico and Sorrento to be unreliable. We even ran into a train strike on the second day of our stay in the area and were caught by surprise because there were no announcements at the train station. Therefore, Vico proved to be a rather inconvenient location to be based out of during our 4-day trip to the area. In any event, coming back to Cubo Apartments itself, I like some of the aspects of the accommodation that have been noted by other reviewers. The rooms are quite modern and the views from the room, and particularly the terrace, are great. The breakfast – that’s made by the mother of the family who runs the place – is nice, although in all fairness, I do wish there were more hot-food options, like sausages or waffles or pancakes. The one hot-food option that exists is a freshly made omelet and on the one morning that I had, I quite liked it. There are also several freshly baked goods that are very nice. I appreciate the fact that on the day we were leaving the hotel by 8:15 a.m. – and it was too early to have breakfast – we could bring a few items with us like apple juice and croissants for the day. In terms of the location of the place, as I have already noted, Vico may not be the best place to explore the Amalfi Coast or the Sorrentine Peninsula because most excursions start in Sorrento. However, conditional on deciding to base yourselves in Vico, these apartments are nicely located. The train station is only 5 minutes away and there are several good restaurants located within spitting distance of the apartments, including Terramia Ristorante and Terrazza Glicine, where we dined during our stay. The two things that make me take off a star is the smell of sewage in the main bathroom, which was just awful. It has been many years since I have stayed in an accommodation that had such a smell. It was strong enough that my wife avoided using the bathroom as much as possible. (Btw, this is the “Asia Superior” room if I am not mistaken.) My bathroom, on the other hand, on the second level of the apartment was free of this issue and I had no problems using it. This issue of sewage smell ought to be fixed, even if it takes significant expense to do so. The other issue – and this is more minor – is the lack of lights in the laundry area. While we did not realize the lack of lights when we started our laundry load at around 5 p.m., by the time it was all done, at 10 p.m. (yes, the dryer took forever), we had to use the flashlights on our smartphone to look around. That’s an inconvenience. It should be an easy fix to put lights in the laundry area. All in all, I would advise people against staying in Vico, if they can help it. However, if they decide to stay in Vico, they can surely consider staying here. I would.

Cubo apartments are run by a family led by Signora Anna, who provides food from her own garden for breakfast each day. The apartments are spacious, clean and comfortable. They are located on a main road so there is some traffic noise but are central for the access road to the beach and nearby railway station, connecting to Sorrento, Naples and Pompeii. There’s a good choice of restaurants close by. Our hosts were exceptional, rearranging the rooftop terrace with its view of the Bay of Naples so that sun beds were provided. We enjoyed the location in the town of Vico Equense and especially the warm welcome provided by Anna, Federico and Angela. Thank you for a great holiday.
