It's the 1st time I have opted for a local B&B, prefering normally to stay in decent hotels. I'm so glad we did! What a fantastic place Antonito has, supported by his daughter Georgia who both contributed to the great experience. Based in the backstreets of Meta amongst the local area we got to experience a part of real Italy... More

I thought I would be in a lovely setting with a warm and welcoming, typical Italian couple and their delightful cat. What I found was an Italian family more similar to the Borgias!! The website said to call them from the train station and they would pick you up. Well, not so. I called three times, finally using a different... More

I don't know what all those bad reviews are about. We had a very pleasant stay. The owner picked us up at the train station (in an old Fiat Cinquecento - so pack light) and he offered us some local white wine. Breakfast was also tasty and warm. True, the church bells ring most of the night, but what do... More

After being picked up at the station by Antonino and receiving a warm welcome from Carmela on arrival at the B&B, we were served tea. We were shown our room and advised that breakfast was at 8.30am. That meant that a coffee pot full of coffee and some bread and tomatoes and cheese was left on the table at that... More

I had read the reviews and looked forward to staying at Orchid Corner. Unfortunately, the place did not live up to expectations. The female owner was apparently incapacitated and we did not see her during our two night stay. I think perhaps our experience would have been better if she had been available. The facility itself is very charming. The... More

Carmela, & Antonino, Thank You for sharing your home with my wife & I. We stayed in the mini-apartment for 1 week. It was pure luck finding a true Italion Home to share the fantastic sights, sounds, history of Sorrento, without the commercialization. The local food (butcher shop, grocery stores) was very fresh, bread, meat, fruit, pesto/pasta, local pizza, &... More

We arrived at Orchid Corner on 22.08.09 in immense heat (42 degrees) and was warmly welcomed by Carmela, who provided a well needed welcome drink of the local wine; which helped us to relax immediately! Carmela is very knowledgable about the area and was able to give us lots of tips and advice - where to go and when etc.... More

Don't forget to spray yourself with fly spray, otherwise you get bitten alive. Breakfast disappointing. When you buy a railway ticket don't make the mistake we did, you must validate it(in a small machine on the wall in the small stations) otherwise you are fined. 37.50 euros each. Beach is small and dirty. The rooms not cleaned daily.

We have just returned from a week with Carmela and Antonio. We now feel that we have known them all our lives. The room was spotless, nothing was too much trouble and the setting is delightful, despite the church bells! Once you get to understand the way the transport works, you can get to Naples, Sorrento, Pompeii, Ercolano and Vesuvio... More
