A beautiful place to stay - the location is perfect (close to restaurants and transport links) and the rooms were immaculate and comfortable. Vera is a very helpful host, she helped us arrange taxis to and from the airport and also for when we were affected by a train strike and set us aside a breakfast pack for when we needed to leave early for a tour. Vera was very friendly, answered my many questions very well and cooked a fabulous breakfast. My son loved the scrambled eggs and brioche rolls so much. The rooms are so quiet and comfortable, we all slept so well. I'd recommend staying here to everyone and would love to return one day.

Nothing - this is a gem of a place to stay.

Our stay at Il Giardino was incredible. Only a few minutes walk from the station, we were greeted by Vera who was extremely accomodating and an excellent host. Our room was clean, spacious and included an amazing private terrace with an incredible view of the Sorrento mountains. Honestly the photos make the room look smaller than it actually is. We highly recommend any couple to stay here. One thing to keep in mind is the location is right on the Main Street which is excellent for restaurants, shopping and distance to ferries and the beach. But if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, maybe look elsewhere as the city centre can get noisy and the church bells ring at 8am which is right across the road. Not a problem for us as breakfast was at 8:30 and we were up early for the ferries and boat trips. We’d definitely be back whenever we return to Sorrento.

Nothing, it was perfect

Everything. The owner, Vera, was very friendly and helpful. The bedroom and ensuite bathroom were very spacious and beautifully decorated in contemporary style. The bed was large and very comfortable and there were complimentary snacks in the room. Breakfast was plentiful and included tasty homemade items. The position of the property was excellent. It is approached via a security gate directly off the main shopping thoroughfare but once inside the apartment block there is no noise whatsoever. Helpfully, there is a bakery/ cafe immediately outside the gate and this was a great place to purchase a picnic or snack.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Being greeted with a big friendly smile by Vera is the perfect start after a flight and coach ride. Our triple room overlooked the main street full of vibrant colours, sounds and smells. Our room was very cozy and clean, the bathroom with tropical shower was a delight after travelling in the hot weather. The windows blocked out all of the street noise at night. The house is full of incredible photos taken on their travels. Vera makes you feel at home instantly. After a spot of cake shopping we stopped for a lovely lunch, then we walked through the back streets and found lots of lovely little places including an old church selling some beautiful pieces of Biagio Barile, and carried on to take in the beauty of Vallone dei Mulini. We wandered down towards the harbour and watched the sun lower before making our way to the restaurant to soak up the nights vibes. Next day Vera and her husband made a delightful breakfast with homemade jams and brioche, before we said our goodbyes and caught the train to Pompeii. We loved our stay here

Leaving.... ....we didn't have the time to visit more of Sorrento

Il Giardino Segreto was a wonderful place to stay. Vera, the host, made us so welcome, provided us with a lovely breakfast every morning and organised a taxi to Pompeii for us when we discovered that a train strike had put a spanner in the works. The location is fabulous - literally a 30 second walk to the central piazza in Sorrento (Piazza Tasso) - and an easy 5 minute walk to the station. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Nothing! If I'm really pushed to find something, the steps up to the property nearly killed us after dragging our luggage from the station, but we knew about them and the property is on the second floor, so there's not a lot you can do. Other than that, honestly nothing!

Vera and Antonio are wonderful hosts! This B&B was exceptionally charming. The location is perfectly situated near Piazza Tasso yet it is very quiet. The room was exactly as depicted in the photos and was cleaned and refreshed every day. Breakfast was served each morning with Antonio’s freshly baked brioche and Vera’s homemade jams along with pancakes or other breakfast requests you might have. Vera provided excellent recommendations for sights to see and places to eat as well as transportation information. All of this contributed to an amazing stay in Sorrento. We will definitely return and would not hesitate to stay here again.

We would give this property a 100 rating if we could but unfortunately we have to settle for a 10! We stayed 3 nights in beautuful Sorrento and couldn’t have picked a better place & location. The air conditioner was very efficient and the bathroom’s modern. But most of all, the host Vera was amazing in providing the best home cooked breakfast from pancakes to cakes (from scratch), eggs cooked to order and her homemade brioche buns always served fresh & hot. She provided beach towels, assisted with obtaining a taxi for our very large group and anything else we needed to make our stay wonderful.

During my trip to Italy my mother and I visited Sorrento and stayed at Vera's lovely apartment style home. It was comfortable, colorful and wonderful with all the comforts of home and more! She would prepare a freshly made breakfast for us each morning to our exact tastes and requests. She gave us wonderful recommendations for places to visit and eat that were wonderful and delicious! I would definitely stay there again and could not recommendation her more! Thank you so much, Vera!!

None

This is a beautiful apartment right in the middle of town, but still in a very private and quiet location because it is behind a gate and large courtyard. The room is the perfect size for a family of four, and the hosts could not have been kinder. Breakfast is included with your stay, and is delicious! It is an easy walk to the port. Refreshing air conditioning if the day is hot, and a very nice, modern bathroom. Beds firm (good for my back!) and we all slept well for the first time since leaving home, we were so jet lagged, we really needed it.Thank you!

Nothing, it's great. If anything I thought the room would be smaller when I saw the photos online, but it is actually a very generous size so I was pleasantly surprised

Il Giardino Segreto ,while on the main street of Sorrento is hidden beyond a lovely gate leading to the stairs which take you into a little paradise. Antonio was very helpful in assisting us to carry our very heavy baggage up the stairs and Vera is an absolute gem even making pancakes at breakfast as well as eggs and the delicious Italian sweet pastries. She was also so helpful in telling us about all the restaurants we could choose from.

It would really be a chore to find anything negative of IL GIARDINO SEGRETO
