My husband Alex and I spent 6 nights at Rafaela’s Vista Mare B&B, and it truly felt like home from the moment we arrived. Rafaela is the most gracious host - welcoming, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail. Each morning started with a heavenly breakfast: local, sun-ripened tomatoes and basil, sweet peaches and melon, Italian classics like mortadella and prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and other cheeses, plus a new pastry every day fresh from a local bakery. The balcony views were simply stunning - breakfast as the sun rose, and evening wine while watching twinkling lights over the Gulf of Naples and Mt Vesuvius. Our room was spotless, the bed super comfortable with lush pillows (three each!), and the shower was amazing. Rafaela went above and beyond, packing fruit for our day trips and even sharing her homemade dinners (the zucchini pasta and eggplant parmigiana were delicious). The location is unbeatable - less than 100m from the Sorrento train station (but you’ll never hear the trains) and just steps from the main street. Insider tip: take the train to Sorrento, not the ferry, and avoid a long climb up hundreds of stairs! Giovanni, Rafaela’s son, and the two cats Cleo and Mia were the cherry on top. We couldn’t fault a single thing - this truly is the best accommodation we’ve stayed in. Affordable, immaculate, welcoming, and bursting with heart. Vista Mare deserves its perfect rating!

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and in an excellent location, a short walk away from the train station and city centre. The breakfast was delicious!

The view. The balcony. The fresh, delicious breakfast every morning overlooking the ocean and Mt Vesuvius. It was spectacular. And Raffaella was the sweetest, most kind and gracious host. Me and my adult kids loved her so much! Plus, the property is right above a fantastic restaurant and gelato place. Close to everything. So perfect.

Raffaela is the most INCREDIBLE host!! She was so warm and sweet and caring, and took care of us from start to end. She even drove us to the port upon our departure because it was raining! The apartment itself is simply beautiful and the views from the terrace are stunning (the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen). The room was also so comfortable and homey, and the location was very convenient and close to shops and restaurants. We had the most AMAZING B&B stay. We will definitely be coming back!!

The location was exactly what we wanted. 5 min walk to city center. The B&B was so nice and comfortable. The sunset view from the patio was our favorite. Rafaela was the best hostess! I fell in love with her! I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a very local culture accommodation.

Excellent breakfast with beautiful views. We stayed in a family room with 2 separate bedrooms. Rooms were nice and spacious and they were cleaned every day. Good beds. Excellent location near the Circumvesuviana train station but also short walking distance from the old town.

The location is very near the town center as well as the bus and train station so I was able to go to so many places outside of Sorrento easily.

Comfortable, clean, great breakfast, fantastic view. Loved the terrace. Close to everything but very private and quiet. I can’t say enough good things about Raffaela, she was wonderful and assisted us in many ways.

Raffaela is the perfect host welcoming you into her wonderful home. The help given was first class from advice on restaurants, boats to other areas, trains to Pompeii, taxi to the airport, etc., all so very helpful. Even providing a charger for our electric toothbrush :-) Breakfast was always fresh and lovely. Spotless rooms. Loved it and Hilary & I thank you and your team.

Everything was perfect. The location (less than 5 min walk from train station, 10 mins from ferries), the facilities (So clean! So nice and modern! So quiet! The balcony and cats!!), the breakfast! Raffaela and family made us feel warmly welcomed and at home. They accommodated our request to drop off our luggage and were flexible with check in/check out times. They even lent us an umbrella and beach towels. 100% will be coming back!

Where to start really 😁. Raffaela our host was amazing from the welcome to her breakfast every morning. Our room was spacious, modern and spotless. The deck she served our breakfast has fantastic views looking back to Naples Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii. In the evening we had drinks and it is even more spectacular.

Excellent host - Raffaela was warm, welcoming, and always helpful. The B&B had an extremely convenient location - just a couple of minutes to the main square and also a few minutes to the train station/bus stop. The room itself was spacious, allowing for two large suitcases to be completely opened. Facilities were clean and proper. An extra touch was the breakfast on the terrace in the morning - Raffaela bought fresh mozzarella from a local deli, made fresh cappuccinos and also offered to make fresh omelettes in addition to the continental spread. This is a 10 out of 10 stay and I would definitely come back.

Central location in Sorrento, 4 min walk to the centre of Sorrento. Room was perfect size for family of 4 with air conditioning and other essentials. Raffaela was an excellent host. Breakfast was 10/10 and the views of the sea and surrounding area was beautiful as well. Overall a great trip and if we return to Sorrento in the future will definitely rebook.
