Bed & Breakfast Marina Piccola 73 - Sorrento

9.4

This B&B is a great get away from the main part of town. It is at the bottom of the cliffs at the marina. Very private and quite. There is bus service from the marina to the top of the cliffs were town center is. There are also lots and lots of stairs. If your in good shap, no problem. The view from your room is breath taking! The owners are very frendly. The rooms and bath are large. An Italian breakfast is included.

This was definitely our favourite accommodation on a month-long trip in Europe... without a doubt. My husband and I stayed at magical Marina Piccola 73 for 4 nights in April. Our lovely and generous hostess and owner, Roberta, did everything to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible by offering assistance whenever we needed it. Anything from a good restaurant to how to get to Pompei or a timetable for the ferries to Capri - Roberta was always happy to help and able to give great expert advice on the area. As for the rooms, they were stunning and spotless - Roberta has done the place up so beautifully. We had the choice of two rooms when we got there; the pink and orange hibiscus rooms (there are photos on her webiste of them)- both were so gorgeous that we had a hard time deciding between the two. We chose the room with the pink hibiscus; it had a french balcony that opened up to the marina with Mt Vesuvius in the background. We sat there each night with a glass of wine, looking out over the sea and watching the sun go down. Roberta brought breakfast to us each morning in the cosy communal dining room (she also offers to bring it to your room if you prefer). Marina Piccola itself is at the bottom of the cliff from the city centre of Sorrento - this was perfect for us, as we wanted to be within short walking distance of the centre of Sorrento, but also have a peaceful tranquil setting (and the idea of also getting a sea-view within our budget was beginning to seem like a pipe-dream). I had spent hours trawling websites and was so excited to find Marina Piccola 73. I had been a bit hesitant to book as it didn't have any reviews (at that stage), but I took the gamble and as you can tell by my glowing report - it really paid off. I will be telling all my friends about this wonderful place and we hope to visit again ourselves. Thank-you Roberta, keep doing what you're doing, you're a beautiful person with a beautiful venue.
