We had a wonderful stay at Il Roseto! Tony and Maria, the owners, were the main reason we enjoyed it so much. They were so gracious and welcoming. Breakfast was simple, but fabulous, with boiled eggs, rolls, danishes, cereal, yogurt, cheese, fresh squeezed orange juice, Maria's famous lemon cake and plenty of coffee and cappuccino. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Overall it was an excellent value.

We used Sorrento as a base for hiking in the country side. Tony gave us an excellent map (1:15,000) than allowed us to plan three full days of hiking close by. The B and B is close to the train station, where you can pick up buses to smaller towns on the peninsula. One day we took the bus to Sant Agata and hiked to the church El Deserto and then hiked trails back to the town of Sorrento. The next day we rode the bus to Termini and hiked out to Punta Campnella for beautiful views of the ocean and the island of Capri. Our return hike took us up the mountain to a church and then back down to Termini, where we caught a bus back to Sorrento. The final day we took the bus to Sant Agata and then hiked to Torca and along the coast to Nerano Contone and then rode the bus back to Sorrento.

Each day it felt like we came home to Il Roseto. I can't say enough about how comfortable Tony and Maria made us feel. We felt like we were truly sharing their home. We would also recommend eating at Leone Russo, where the service, food and value was super.

We returned to Sorrento three and a half years after our previous visit and stayed again at Il Roseto. The owners, two couples that run the B&B, remembered us and were especially friendly. Our room plus bath were still comfortable, the breakfast, if anything, had improved. Except for the first morning the weather was good enough to enjoy breakfast outside in their lemon grove under an arbor with ripe grapes. The food now was available in buffet style, which for our consumption included fresh bread, sometimes prosciuto and cheese, Danish pastries, home made cakes, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, espresso coffee, fresh orange juice and grapes from the arbor; everything was excellent. The B&B was located within walking distance from two stations on the Circumvesuviana, the local train to Naples. The surroundings were pleasant and many tourist attractions can be visited from Sorrento. There was a large room with a small collection of books that we could borrow, tables where we could socialize with other guests, and a computer that we used to check on road conditions and possible day trips. There were supermarkets, Sisa, close by, which had improved if anything, and the Standa, further away, which had shrunk and was of no interest to us, and at least two laundromats. There was a refrigerator in the room and a TV set with a flat screen, but the programming was almost all in Italian, with movies generally dubbed into Italian.

Great small hotel run by the really nice family. Outstanding service. Great breakfast. Free parking (which is important for Sorrento) Location is convenient if you have a car and do not plan to spend much time in the city of sorrento. Otherwise it us a bit far from downtown and write on the busy road. We truly enjoyed our stay here.

Stayed here in early November. We requested an extra night prior to our arrival so we had a chance to stay in two different rooms. Both rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the garden every morning and the one rainy day breakfast in the house were great. Exactly as described by other reviewers. The off the street parking was a plus. Even though the B&B is on a very busy street once you are through the gate, there is hardly any noise. Walking into town was very easy. Very convenient to the train station for a day trip to Pompeii or Napoli.
