Old Taverna Sorrentina

Wanted to stay in Sorrento at Christmas, made contact with Guglielmo Gargiulo at Old Taverna Sorrentina. Was greated very warmly by William and Maria, the b n b was stunning. Very old Italian, made you feel you were in old Italy, was a stunning property. Easy to find and very central, down what is called the drains. Found a lovely cheap cafe, where we went for coffee amd cornetto (croissant) which only cost 9 euro for 2 and drinks. Cant wait to go back, highly recommend, especially if you want to see old italy.

Right in the heart of Sorrento this is a really quaint and unique property with rooms owned by a wider family group over two floors above the family restaurant and gelato. We stayed in the Imperial Suite run by William and Maria (who run the cookery school) Room was clean and beautifully furnished with antique items. There is a fridge and cooking facilities available if wanted and certainly the fridge was useful. Maria or her team were in everyday to clean and change towels etc and on hand to help with any queries or guidance on local facilities etc.

This property is so beautiful and unique. We all felt like royalty and were treated so by our host. It is a wonderful neighborhood for shopping, dining and people watching. A great place to stay for a few days or much longer as the rooms felt like a home, albeit a very luxurious one. A must for those who appreciate find surroundings.

I felt like I’m home, good to family trip,they don’t have a front desk but I wrote to the property one day before,they answered really fast,when I reached the property somebody was waiting for us and gave keys and instructions. The family own a gelato and coffee place and also a restaurant downstairs. Both really good. Maria is awesome and lovely.Really good location!!!

Beautiful room and an excellent location.

La suite es hermosa. Pero debo aclarar que María la dueña nunca contestó mis mensajes, al llegar no había nadie esperándonos. Su familia es dueña del restaurante y heladería de abajo, mismos que nunca nos dijeron que le llamarían. Un empleado del restaurante me auxilio porque se me bajó la presión, pero ninguno nos dijo que la conocían y la buscarían. La señora de limpieza el día del check out ya estaba tocándonos media hora antes para que nos saliéramos. Repito la suite hermosa, en la callesita de mas transito, pero ningún tipo de ayuda, indicaciones, ni respuesta. No es un hotel, se supone que es un bed and breakfast, desayuno no hubo tampoco. Tiene una cocineta con refrigerador, pero tampoco hay agua ni nada. Solo una suite hermosa. Para dos personas, maximo tres.
