Fantasie Marine

Fantastico posto!! Gioielli e accessori economici e bellissimi!! Super soddisfatta degli acquisti. Il proprietario è gentile e disponibile

A very interesting shopping experience. This is a family run business. We were served by a lovely young man who spoke excellent English. He was so knowledgeable about all of the shells and corals in his shop. There was no pressure to buy and everything is totally unique. I left with a beautiful ring which at €4 is completely stunning. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great place

Unsettling and disrespectful experience My visit to Fantasie Marine was the singular tarnish on an otherwise pleasant experience in Sorrento. I visited the store with my 65-year-old mother, as we were both keen to purchase jewelry as a souvenir. After browsing for some time, my mother enquired with the salesman about the price of a ring. The man, whom I believe owns the store, offered a 10% discount; my mother declined to purchase, as she felt it was still too expensive. The shopkeeper then began on what initially seemed like a fairly standard “sales pitch” about the rationale for the price – other stores would sell it for more, you would be paying for the salesperson’s commission in those stores etc. My mother was continuing to browse for pieces, so she repeatedly nodded her head, while looking down at the display cases, and responded, “Ok, ok.” I was only half paying attention, but started to listen more carefully as the man began to end every sentence with, “Do you understand me? Do you understand me?” Before I knew it, his tone became angry. He asked my mother, “Do you not believe me?” He then walked straight to her and said, “You can buy from another store.” In sheer surprise, she responded, “We should go?” He replied, “Yes, go! Go!” I took her hand and began walking out of the door, only to hear him yell at us – with our backs turned, “Stupid! Stupid!” Needless to say, I do NOT recommend this store. The young man was needlessly disrespectful and also a poor business man. If you are in Sorrento and looking to purchase jewelry, I would instead recommend Bimonte Christian; it is on the same street as Fantasie Marine and the owner is a lovely man.
