“First of all, it is impossible to get here. You have to fly into Naples, then you have to take a train from Naples to Sorento. Then you have to stand in 90 degree weather waiting for a ferry to get on a ferry with all of your luggage.”

Influencer uploads second video slamming the holiday destination

In a follow-up video, Lexi Jordan clarified that she did not have to “lift a finger” and that her boyfriend and the bellhop carried the luggage up the stairs. She also said:

“The only thing I was hoping to shed some light on is it’s not as easy to get here as some people make it seem. It’s actually quite difficult and time intensive. While the views are gorgeous, you’re staying along the water, there is amazing food and amazing people it is not as easy as it might seem. So if you want to come here, definitely make the time investment.”
