B&B L'Arcobaleno

What can I say? I was needing a place to land for three nights on quick notice due to a mud slide in Positano. This B&B was the only place I could find and I'm so happy I did. I reserved the room via Raefelle what's app. As I tried to coordinate movement to the B&B he said don't worry, my dad will pick you up at xxxx, just text me when you are ready. Well, for three days, Raefelle, Pietro, and myself worked this schedule like a well-oiled machine - not once did I feel delayed or put out because I needed to have Pietro drop me off at a certain point. Not to mention, on my first night, Anna, provided me "bread" instead of me walking to a restaurant. Bread? Was this amazing warm ham and cheese sandwich. The next morning, Anna sent me off with an egg sandwich, banana, and water. That night, she made me spaghetti! Though this place is a little out of the way, it is very much worth the experience of sharing life with Anna, Pietro, and Raefelle. Their place is fantastic and the gardens of fresh fruit and vegetables awesome. The breakfasts were huge! It is one of the highlights of my trip and I will never forget this wonderful family.

Nothing

The most important thing about staying in a B&B is the service. Anna, Pietro, and Rafaelle make this an exceptional adventure. We have never received the overall service and courtesy from any place we have ever stayed. It was like staying with relatives who have not seen you in a long time and love having you there - especially if you were raised with an Italian heritage. A few things to note: If your preference is to be close to the central area of Sorrento, this is not the place for you. If you like to stay in remote areas and still have access to downtown and the harbor, consider this B&B. With that said, if you are driving, you will not be able to park your car at the property. The steep driveway and access are challenging. Do not try it. Anna will pick you up at the bottom and take your baggage to the B&B. You will park your car in the street. There is plenty of free parking here. Anna and Pietro will bring your bags up the stairs to your room and when you leave, will take your bags down the stairs into their cars and bring them to your car. The rooms were rustic and enough space, drawers, and closets to unpack. The toilets and showers are cozy. This is an old home. When there were needs or problems, we contacted Anna's son, Rafaelle who let Anna or Pietro know of the needs. The requests were handled immediately. The breakfasts Anna served was exceptional - the best we had in Italy. She will cater to your needs. Anna will also be your personal concierge. She will suggest the best local trattorias and make the reservations for you. Pietro will drive you to your destinations. Anna will suggest tours and other activities and find you the best deals and book them for you. Anna's home garden was amazing. If you are a gardener, this is a place for you.

Sometimes the water pressure was lacking and the drainage slow.

The location was so beautiful, overlooking the coast.

Just a little far to town (only because of the hills, it’s a bit much to walk) but our hosts were kind enough to drive us down to the town and pick us up! If you had a car or scooter, it is a super simple and quick drive.

Extraordinary location, comfortable beds, good linens

NO wi-di, unclean, appliance not working, awful smell under kitchen sink
