Il Palazzo del Barone — Hotel in Pietrapertosa

We spent 6 nights in Sorrento with the first three nights at a hotel in the middle of town. The last three nights were spent at Il Palazzo del Barone which is up the hill from the center of town, about a 10-15 min drive.

We even got to share the dinner we made with other guests that were staying there. The best part about staying here was the outstanding hospitality shown by our hosts. Barbara was always available, friendly, and eager to help us find transportation to and from the center of town, arranged for a private tour of the Amalfi coast, and helped us out with other logistical problems we had. We can't thank her enough for her help and her always professional and friendly attitude. In all, it felt like we got a taste of the true Sorrento and a feel for how the locals really live. If we were to ever return to the area, which is likely, I would have no hesitation to...

Fab place in a beautiful and magnificent mountain setting. Cleverly renovated and converted old palazzo, individual rooms tastefully fitted out with furniture and fittings in keeping with the age of the building. Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a choice of Italian or basically anything else we wanted. We chose full Italian with homemade sweet pastries and cakes and lovely homemade preserves. A couple at another table chose bacon and eggs and seemed perfectly happy with what they were given. A really...

What a beautiful B&B in a beautiful village. The rooms were gorgeously renovated retaining original features like an old pizza oven, fireplace, beams and brickwork. The rooms were large, exceptionally clean and fully equipped. Mariapia was such a lovely host, giving us very helpful advice for our stay and information about the village. Mariapia made us a huge and delicious breakfast with home-made pastries, breads, cakes and many other goodies, making us feel extremely welcome and spoiled. If ever we're back in Pietrapertosa, we'd love...
