Belvedere Sorrento

Stayed here for two nights with my husband and I in one room and another couple in a separate room. Yes, there are a lot of stairs up to the floor that holds the B&B. 83, to be exact. When you arrive, make sure you buzz the buzzer and get Alfonso or his wife to put your luggage on the winch they have set up so you don’t have to haul it up all those stairs. On a positive note, if you go up a few more stairs, they have a great terrace with a fantastic view over the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
Our room was quite spacious, with a slanted ceiling and a sky light. Water pressure and temperature were good. Maybe it’s just me, but I unfortunately found the mattress quite uncomfortable. I could feel many springs in my ribs and neck. It didn’t bother my husband, but I have trouble sleeping as it is so it did bother me.
I wouldn’t go so far as to call this place a bed and breakfast. It’s much more like a self catering apartment. The breakfast was very sparse and was pretty much just pre-​packaged snack cakes and a couple of yogurts in the fridge. Both mornings we were there we went out to get breakfast on our own. Not something I look forward to when spending 90EUR/​night on a B&B. There is a full kitchen so you can prepare any meals you like for yourself.
Our total traveling party was eight people, with four of them staying at a different B&B. However, each night we all went up to our awesome terrace and drank wine and relaxed. Alfonso came up one night with some local wine and chatted with us for a while.
The B&B was a good price for Sorrento, but things such as the breakfast were lacking compared to B&Bs I’ve stayed at elsewhere in Italy.
