Bed & Breakfast Il Roseto - Sorrento

Wonderful stay at Il Roseto. Our problem was finding it as we arrived by car at night (beautiful night in Sorrento and the Amalfitan Coast by the way). So I called the B&B and the host went all the way into the main street to signal us in. The place is kind of hidden, so it´s kind of hard to find if you´re coming at night. But our stay was wonderful! Great italian mood, the rooms were great (with bathrooms in the room) and the morning breakfast was really more than I expected! If you´re coming to Sorrento, I recommend Il Roseto

The charming families at Il Roseto were such a pleasure. They made us feel so welcome and were patient with our unexpected situations that arose. The apt was beautiful and spacious for 3..I did not want to leave. Everything about our time at Il Roseto was excellant. Enjoy.

The owners were wonderful to work with (I had to change the date 2 times and they contacted me on the road and there was nver a problem. M & M (the owners) were so personable and very concerned about your comfort and very knowledgable about what to do and how to do it!

This place was an incredible deal. In January, the rate was 65 euros/night. We had a large room on the top floor with a huge, private balcony w/views of Naples Bay and Vesuvius. The owners, 2 brothers and their families, couldn't have been nicer. Breakfast was served in their large kitchen, and included fresh orange juice from their trees. We changed our reservation at the last minute, and it wasn't a problem. Loved the room, and Sorrento so much that we stayed 3 nights instead of one. We would definitely return to Il Roseto!

This hotel was the best we inhabited while in Italy. The location was good, only a fifteen minute walk to the center of town. Services offered by the hotel included tickets to the Circumvesuviana train and the Amalfi coast buses, use of their laptop computer and spare electrical converters. The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating. They provided friendly service and delicious breakfasts including local pastries, espresso, coffee or tea, and fresh squeezed juice from their orange grove. The rooms were clean and bright and all have a private patio. The bathrooms are very tidy and seem new, and are provided with hair driers and fluffy towels. We felt very comfortable staying in this hotel.

Great place to stay. If you have bags, we suggest not walking to get there. It's a little bit far from the train station. On a day to day basis, it's not bad (10-15 min walk to city center), but if you have heavy bags it can seem quite far.

We had a spacious room, decent sized bathroom and enjoyed the breakfast each day. Only negative was the distance from the hotel to the center of town and desirable restaurants. The hotel is much farther from the train station then described. A bit of a haul with luggage in tow. Would have hired a taxi if I had known..

Rooms and bathroom were exceptinally clean. description of location should suggest travellors disembark the circumvesuvia at the San Agnelo (?) station, the one before Sorrento. It's closer to the B&B. the owner suggested it to us and it is a lot better. The walk is also less busy. The walk from town square to hotel is a good 15 minutes but there's plenty of buses. I suggest taking the bus, because the walk is not that pleasant. the sidewalk comes and goes. the pool next door that guests can use for 5 euros is gorgeous. Breakfast is very nice, included yogourt, a basket of pastries and coffee (cappucino, latte or espresso) and service very prompt

Wonderful place to stay in Sorrento. Usedit as a base for Pompeii and Capri and could not have been happier. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the center of Sorrento (busy sidewalks which I would not recommend for anyone who is mobility impaired). The building was recently remodeled and is very well-appointed. Our room (Vesuvius) had a great terrace with a view of the Bay of Naples). Recommend staying here unconditionally - and we are picky. Also, do not miss dining at Caruso's Ristorante in Sorrento. Expensive, but an amazing meal.

It's 2-3 kms to town. Too far to walk on a hot day. Tony and family most helpful even driving us to the port and loaning us a laptop. Rooms large by european standards and newly and fully equipped. We would recommend Il Roseto to anyone. Cheers Tony!!

This was an excellent B&B. Would definitely stay here again and have recommended it to others. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Our room looked out onto a lemon orchard with the trees covered in lemons. Breakfast was very good - nice rolls, breakfast pastries and freshly squeezed orange juice. Great coffee. The only problem was finding it. The map we printed from the Venere website had the B&B on the south side of the road and it's on the north side! Also the sign on the gate was more easily seen for people coming from St. Agnello (the next town to the east of Sorrento) and we walked from the Sorrento train station (this walk is sometimes challenging because of heavy traffic and the sidewalk gets very narrow at times). However, the location is an easy 10 - 15 minute walk into downtown. Sorrento is a good hub for visiting other sites (Amalfi, Pompeii, Capri) by public transportation - which has to be cheaper and less stressful than driving here.

Our family was very happy with our stay at Il Roseto. Michael was a wonderful host with excellent recommendations on where to go and where to eat. The breakfast was incredibly good, the best our our tour of Italy. Fresh pastries, cafe and caps, fresh squeezed OJ. The room was large, comfortable with a nice bath. The grounds are under renovation and will soon be beautiful again. Highly recommend the Il Roseto and will stay again in the future. We went to Positano on the bus for the day and it was a great day. Ate dinner at San Antoninos just off the main piazza and loved it.

Il Rosetto is a lovely little, family-run, place in Sorrento. It is, however, more than a few steps from St.Agnello train stop. It takes about 10 minutes(take the right with your back to the station). It's a leisurely 10 minute walk to P.Tasso too, hence very quiet and an ideal place to stay in. Our window opened out onto the lemon grove and mountains in the distance. Beautiful!The breakfast could have been better but is ok.

Generally Il Roseto was quiet and comfortable. Especially the orchard-like atmosphere was very good. The distance from the city center was not near and the sidewalk to the city center was too narrow.

This is a bit out of the way, but only a bit. It's only 20 minutes' walk to town centre, and less to fantastic views. The owners, Michel and Tony, are exceptional; breakfast, although the same each day, is very good and features local orange juice. Very quiet property, and nice rooms.

Il Roseto is a clean, beautifully furnished family run B & B. Michael and Tony make every effort to make ones stay a very pleasant one. Every morning we were served a lovely breakfast with Gorgeous Italian espresso and freshly squeezed orange from their own garden, the terraces are surrounded by lovely plants and lemon trees and everyday we were given fresh towels for the Pool which is a 2 minute walk through beautifully planted gardens. Tony stayed up until midnight on the night of our arrival as we got lost on the way from Rome, and was so kind as to let sleep in beyond breakfast next day and still serve delicious pastries and coffee to us on our own little terrace. He also brought us to a cliff top restaurant that we would never have found on our own. Nothing was too much trouble for either him or Michael. Il Roseto is safe, warm and friendly I would advise young & old alike to visit, it is a nice walk from Piazza Tasso every evening, but yet far enough away from the maddening crowd if you so desire. I would definately return to Il Roseto as it felt like Home from home, which I feel there is no greater comparison or compliment.

Il Roseto is nicely located in Sorrento. It is a bit of a walk to the train station, but the walk is a pleasant one. The people running Il Roseto are friendly and efficient. They kindly let me take their laptop into my room to email home. Breakfast is only rolls, which is a bit tiresome if you stay for a few days. Overall, we enjoyed the B/B and would happily stay here again.

Il Roseto was everything that we had hoped for and more. The "junior suite" was spacious and simply but nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable, bathroom had a decent shower, and the well-appointed kitchenette added a homey touch. We really looked forward to breakfast in the family kitchen each morning. The owner, Michael,went out of his way to make us comfortable. Besides the fresh squeezed orange juice, cappucino, and delicious pastries, he provided one of us who can't eat wheat with gluten free crackers. The whole family was incredibly hospitable. The only problem for us was the location. The walk to and from town at night was very unpleasant due to narrow and disappearing sidewalks, leaving us close to heavy traffic and diesel fumes. Otherwise, we loved our stay and would highly recommend Il Roseto. If you take the train there, use the Sant'Agnello stop as it is closer that the Sorrento station.

We stayed here in February. Weather wasn't very good, cold and rainy. Rooms are nice, modern and comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay here. Owners are very kind. Pick us up and dropped us off at the train station when arriving and leaving. The property is about a 15 minute walk into Sorrento. Value for money would stay here again.

Il Roseto was the highlight of our trip. Tony and Michael are very sweet and welcome you into their home like you are family. The rooms are extremely clean and inviting, very spacious and tastefully decorated. The family is very accomodating, when we went to Capri for one night they held our baggage for us until we arrived back the next day, and then drove us to the train station, even though we had already checked out of their B&B. I would highly reccomend this quaint little quiet place to anyone who was staying in Sorrento, even for just 1 night.

Very good little B&B. The rooms are quiet, well appointed, good decor/furniture and very clean, as good as some 4star rooms we've stayed in. The owners are also very kind and helpful. It's about 20-25mins walk to the centre of Sorrento along a busy road (with a slightly longer less busy back route) with easy access to stations and buses. It has parking which is a big benefit if you are staying in Sorrento. I would recommend Il Roseto to anyone wanting good accommodation at a keen price that reflects the little bit of a walk to the centre of Sorrento

We really enjoyed our stay at Il Roseto. The (triple)room was clean and quiet and we felt right at home. A very nice breatkfast of assorted rolls, juice and coffee was served in a pretty garden area with lemon and orange trees surrounding. Tony was a wonderful and gracious host. He even rushed out to get us an early breakfast when he learned we had to leave for the train station early on our last morning. He also gave us a rides in his personal car on two occasions - one day to the marina and on our last day to the train station - a free service for his guests. The room was somewhat plain, but perfectly clean, and the bathroom was beautiful (and large for Europe) with very nice tile work, and a very good shower. The only downside of Il Roseto is it's distance from the main area of town and train station. It's no problem for walking unless you're carrying or dragging your luggage. The sidewalks vary considerably in construction and width between downtown and the property. Suggest a taxi or calling Tony for a ride instead of hiking it.

Il Roseto was a very nice Bed and Breakfast. Michael and Toni were extremely helpful in everyway. The pastries in the mornings were delicious. We loved having breakfast out on the patio every morning. The only down sides were the walk to Tasso Square was a bit longer than we thought and you can hear everything from one room to the next. Overall, we loved Il Roseto!! The rooms were very clean and newly decorated and the price was excellent.

A bit of a hike from the town centre but otherwise a very good place to stay. What really stood out was the friendlyness and helpfulness of the staff. They will offer to take you into town or nearby restaurants by car (and collect you) which is really helpful if you don't have your own car. Overall, first rate and great value for money.

An extremely enjoyable bed and breakfast. A bit out of the center of Sorrento, but the delightful and very kind manager and the pleasant rooms and first-rate breakfast more than compensated. I would definitely stay here again. Great restaurant arrangement on the Amalfi Coast by the manager. He even drove us to the railroad station for a morning departure.

Il Roseto was excellent. The B&B is an easy ten minute walk from the twon centre. The two gentlemen running the place were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was above average for Italy - fresh orange juice and a good selection of rolls and croissants. The nicest place that we stayed on our trip.

I stayed here with family and a friend and it was amazing. I had been to Sorrento twice before, but from now on I will only stay at Il Roseto. The staff was so amazingly generous, friendly, and helpful. It was a wonderful experience and I encourage everyone to book their stay at this bed and breakfast...oh and also the breakfast was super delicious. Great coffee, orange juice, and pastries!!! Happy traveling!
