Casarufolo Paradise

This property is impossible to find and reach with a car. You have to park your car at the bottom of the hill. Good luck finding parking in Sorrento. They say that they will pick you up with a shuttle bus, but then don't answer their phone when you call. The center of Sorrento, were all the restaurants and entertainment is, is to far to walk. Walking back is climbing a steep hill. This property is misleading in its advertising. We had to book another hotel because of this inconvenience. They will not refund your money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casarufolo Paradise. Although other reviewers pointed out just how high in the mountains the B&B is, we had to experience it ourselves to fully appreciate the hotel in the clouds. We drove and parked our car upon arrival and let Gian Luiggi and his wife shuttle us up and down the mountain. The view is breathtaking. We walked down into town once during our stay. It was a wonderful walk but one that I wouldn't want to repeat too often. The B&B is a bit rustic but that's part of its charm. Breakfast was basic. We drank cappuccino and ate freshly baked sweet bread and yogurt for breakfast. We would definitely stay here again if we revisit Sorrento.

Ottima accoglienza, vista magnifica come da foto. Camere spaziose, colazione buona. Scomoda da raggiungere ma i proprietari fanno un servizio navetta con il centro gratuito

This property is absolutely beautiful and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. Breakfast was provided each morning in a lovely outdoor setting with ocean views. The room was clean and spacious. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. Myself and my husband got sick for 2 days while staying here, and the hosts were extremely helpful and provided us with food, supplies and even medicine to assist us while we were unwell and unable to leave the property. Be aware when booking that this property is a 5-10 minute drive from the main town of Sorrento and a 30 minute walk from the main town, however the walk to the property is up an extremely steep hill and is extremely challenging by foot. I completed the walk/hike twice, and as a moderately fit person it was still extremely difficult. I would recommend staying here if you have either your own mode of transport (car/vespa) or if you don’t intend on going in and out of town more than once per day, however, Gianluigi happily provides transport in and out of town when requested and has a pre arranged shuttle service each evening to return to the property.

This is a great property to stay off the main area of Sorrento. It is located overlooking Sorrento and Mount Vesuvius. The host Gianluigi was incredible as he was very accommodating. The drive up to the B&B was absolutely challenging and Gianluigi drove our car up the rest of the way as it was crazy narrow. For the rest of the trip he would drive us down in the morning and pick us up in the evening. So if you stay here or on the Amalfi Coast, I’d recommend not renting a car in the high season unless you like a chaotic stress. Overall this was a great retreat spot with an incredible view and a fabulous host.

This property is located approx. 1.6 km from downtown which provides an amazing view over Sorrento. The host is extraordinarily accommodating. Breakfast is provided every morning which was fresh and delicious. The location is quiet. The only downfall is getting there! Straight up a very steep road that seems never ending. My husband and I are fit and it was not an easy stroll! That said, the host does offer transportation up and down to town at no cost which was greatly appreciated!

To be fair, this property was the only one we could find for the price range where we could park. It's got a nice view, and the rooms & building itself is ok. But it's perched upon a steep cliff and the road to get there is bendy and very narrow. They kindly offer shuttle service in and out of Sorrento but it would be nice to know that it's inconvenient to access on foot. Nothing on property details suggested anything about the altitude or access so be prepared. The breakfast was another letdown

Highly recommend staying here. We are foreigners on vacation and John Luigi had been so welcoming and so accommodating as a host. The streets leading to casa rufalo are authentic in the sense they required a skilled driver and someone who truly knows the town. At no point during our stay did we feel unsafe. It was also nice to be in a quieter part of town. Every morning we were provided breakfast by another member at the hotel and all we had to do was sit down at the patio/terrace. In regards to transportation, we arrived on a ferry and John Luigi picked us up and drove us all the way up to our stay. All we had to do was call. He showed us how to get to town and where to meet him to get a shuttle back. For those concerned about the walk up and the walk down, we had only had to walk down once (on our own accord) because of how accommodating John Luigi had been. John Luigi not only did this for us, but he did that for ALL guests at casarufalo paradise. I truly cannot recommend this stay enough.

Wonderful stay at Casarufolo Paradise. Gianluigi was a perfect host, picking us up from the station on arrival and generally making us feel very welcome. The hotel is at the top of a very steep hill which would be difficult (though not impossible) to manage on foot but Gianluigi gave us a lift into town every morning and would pick us up in the evening at a pre arranged pick up point in town (lifts were offered at two different times in the evening which worked really well). The hotel itself was wonderful and the setting could not have been more amazing, with fabulous views of the Amalfi coast. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to other travellers.

property itself was good and staff very friendly and accomodatting. description needs to clarify very difficult to reach uphill property by personal car and cannot walk into town-too far. staff provided excellent shuttle service that made up for difficult drive to property. if you don't have a car, want peace/quiet, like rustic feel, and can rely on good shuttle service into town then this is a good place to stay. i picked this place because of parking for my car. most of sorrento has no parking available for their hotels and public parking is very expensive

Casa Rufolo was lovely! We enjoyed our 5-night stay very much! House is situated high on mountain with beautiful views. Gianluigi was friendly and an excellent host! Thank You to Gianluigi and friendly staff! Pros: Lovely house, clean simple rooms, good hot water shower pressure! Quiet surroundings with beautiful views. Gianluigi is very accommodating host. Upon arrival, Gianluigi picks you up from train stain to take you up to house. He has 2 nightly pickups (9/10pm but flexible) at a designated meeting point to go back to house(super necessary!) Location- Once down from house- (20 min walk down) right in the heart of Sorrento center! Gianluigi helps with tour arrangements to Amalfi Coast or other destinations. Cons: Breakfast! Very minimal breakfast-coffee(just ok)/brioche buns, butter/jelly, juice. Needs more attention to breakfast. Poor Internet in room. Evening pickups were a bit early for us (although he was always flexible) Just Facts: No Air conditioning- didn’t bother us as it’s was still cool enough end of May, but can't imagine summer months without AC. Once you leave house, be ready to spend entire day out till evening pick up! (Unless you walk up which must be 40min hike up, or take taxi - which I don’t recommend because of narrow road) Road to house is narrow and -but Gianluigi is excellent driver. The path downhill to center is about 20 minutes.

Comfortable and clean room with an amazing view. Gianluigi was a fantastic host who goes out of his way to make your stay an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Our stay was incredible! The view from our perfectly sized room (for 2 people) was exceptional and just about the best in Sorrento. Room was clean and bathroom was nice too. The hotel proprietor Gianluigi was one of the most accomodating hosts we had throughout Italy. Will work day and night to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible, from Breakfast in the morning, all the way to free taxi pick up’s late at night to avoid the walk up the mountain after a few drinks and dinner! (Yes make no mistake - with a great view comes a very steep road up the mountain - walking down is easy, walking back up, a harder challenge indeed)

Staff were amazing, place was immaculately clean and the view was amazing. The owner giuseppe couldn’t be more helpful. Breakfast in the morning was great with a beautiful setting. Would definitely recommend.

Inspiring views from this beautiful location. Nestled in the hills the air was clean and the only noises were those of nature. Guinluigi was perfect host with his local knowledge and evening taxi service to collect you from the town. My accommodation was large and clean with stunning views. I will be returning.

Gianluigi made our stay amazing. He is an amazing host, who picked us up from the Ferry, gave us lifts into town and home again, made great area and restaurant recommendations, and took our bags back into town again when checking out but our train was later on, and is contactable via WhatsApp for queries. It’s a very scenic place, with clean and nice rooms, and free breakfast was provided of bread, olive oil tomatoes, brioche with jams/ Nutella etc, tea coffee and juice. Overall an amazing stay with an amazing host!

I had a wonderful stay at Casarufolo paradise. The area is very safe and the room was very clean and quiet. It also included breakfast. I highly recommend staying here when you are in Sorrento 😀

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casarufolo Paradise. Although it was situated up the hill on a private road, Gianluigi kindly picked us up from the train station and provided excellent assistance throughout. The breakfast selection was somewhat limited, but it was still delightful and made with fresh ingredients. The rooms were pleasant, and the view from the location was simply breathtaking.

The main thing that stuck out to me when considering booking Casarufolo Paradise was the kind words about the host Gianluigi and they were not wrong! Gianluigi is a very accommodating and personable host. He offers shuttles from Piazza Tasso at 8 and 9pm and anytime between 10pm-12am for a fee. The room was very clean and sheets were switched over once during my three night stay. The view from my window was incredible! It is a very steep walk if you are considering walking to Casarufolo Paradise, but it is manageable. Overall I loved my stay and would definitely stay again!

For the very first moment of arrival we were impressed. Road to the hotel was exciting adventure via narrow mountain road. There was perfect view to the nearby mountains, sea, Sorrento, Naples and Vesuvius. This is the perfect and quiet place to relax after daily sightseeing around the area. Tasty traditional daily breakfast was included and service was professional. Gianluigi is a very friendly and lovely host offering his help and tips to maximize our experience. We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and would have liked to stay even longer if we would have had more time.

Beautiful location on the hills of Sorrento. Magnificent view of Sorrento and Mt Versuvius, surrounded by olive plantations. A tranquil and quiet break from the busy centre of Sorrento. The staff and our host, Gianluigi, were great! Friendly, responsive and helpful, and available to shuttle us back and forth anytime of the day. Breakfast served every morning in the terrace was a real treat, and the view was spectacular. Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants an authentic experience of life in the Amalfi Coast - from the coastlands to the hill tops.

The view was beautiful !!

Lovely, relaxing location on the hillside with a great view of Sorrento and the coastline. A bit of a distance from the main piazza, but also away from traffic noise. Comfortable rooms with private balconies. Continental breakfast included. Helpful and friendly hosts.

Beautiful views! Good value for your money. Luigui is willing to pick you up from the train station and bring you to town in the morning. Walking up to the hotel is challenging but Luigui can pick you up and bring you back at 9 and 10 pm.

Exceptional location and host! I’ve never experienced such respect and care before. This is undoubtedly the best place to stay in Sorrento. The view from the top is stunning, and the shuttle service provided by Gianlugi, the host, is incredibly convenient. The rooms are spacious and equipped with a fridge, bathroom, and comfortable bed. The air conditioning works perfectly, and the breakfast is fantastic. When in Sorrento come here for a relaxing stay! Wish we could've stayed longer!

This property is impossible to find and reach with a car. You have to park your car at the bottom of the hill. Good luck finding parking in Sorrento.

Walking back is climbing a steep hill. This property is misleading in its advertising. We had to book another hotel because of this inconvenience. They will not refund your money.

If you are looking for a spot away from all the noise and hassle of Sorrento, this is a great location. It is a 25-30 minute downhill walk to the city centre if your knees are in good shape. The return is only for mountain goats but a shuttle service is provide at 9pm and 10pm. However, the meeting point is an out-of-the way church a 15 minute uphill trudge in the dark from the town. Whilst obviously convenient for the host, this is highly inconvenient for guests who are likely tired after a full day. More often than not he would arrive late. Why he would not take an extra minute to drive to a central and well-lit pickup point downtown and make an effort to arrive on time, if not early, is beyond me. The one and only reason booked here was for the balcony and the spectacular view across the Bay of Naples to Mt. Vesuvius. I pre-paid for five nights but on arrival found that my room had been opportunistically sold off to somebody else. I was forced to spend the first two nights in a spartan ground level room at the back of the house with no balcony and no view. As the host had already demonstrated he could not be trusted and as he seemed to have little awareness of time (his 10 minutes usually turned out closer to 40 minutes) I had zero confidence in him getting me to the train station early morning to connect with my flight, so I checked out a day early. A complete and utter disaster and the worst holiday experience I have ever suffered in my 80 years. Caveat emptor.

Truly memorable experience. Host Gianluigi and his family cater to your every need including rides back and forth from the resort to Sorrento. Great daily breakfast, beautiful sea views from one of the highest peaks in Sorrento. Can’t rave enough about it!!

The service here was incredible! we got picked up outside the train station as soon as we landed and the host picked us up from town every night. We were also struggling to get travel to the airport at 5am which the host managed to arrange for us at a moments notice. Overall would definitely recommend

We had an amazing stay with Luigi and his family. The view is something I’ve never seen from accomodation before. It’s out of this world. Luigi is one the loveliest people we have ever met. He picked us up from in town whenever needed, provided breakfast and services whenever requested. Nothing was a trouble. He even drove us to the station at 5am. Thank you so much Luigi and family.

Gianluigi and his family were wonderful hosts in this amazingly unique property up in the hills of Sorrento. You have a beautiful view of the city and coast from the property, and the staff make you feel at home. The property is up a steep hill, but Gianluigi will immediately shuttle you up and down in his car upon request. Staying at casarufolo paradise made our Sorrento trip even better! Would stay again! 5 stars!

The property was located in a beautiful are in the hills above Sorrento. It was a quite a walk but doable. Gianluigi was an outstanding host, he picked us up from the ferry and provided rides every night from the city center to the property. Breakfast every morning delicious, fresh tomatoes and olive oil from his olive trees. Staying at Casarufolo was like staying at a good friend’s house. We would definitely recommend staying there.

The rooms were nice and the AC was very much needed and appreciated. Rooms had a nice refrigerator. The proprietor provided complimentary shuttle services. It was desperately needed as the location was extremely obscure. He took us down to Sorrento and we called when ready to return. Some of our wait times were 1 hour. Hiking a dirt and stoney trail was out of the question for us. We booked this B&B expecting more than bread and coffee for breakfast. Some mornings we did get some fruit and always got juice. After day 2 I asked if we could have eggs. The wonderful housekeeper asked the proprietor and he agreed to let her prepare basic egg omelettes for us. He seemed annoyed that other guests asked for eggs as well. I think most guests stay only a day or two and just accept a fresh roll, fresh sliced bread and tomato and dry biscuits with coffee. I am an experienced traveler and have never gotten such a sparse breakfast offered when it was included in the cost. The proprietor also offered to book tours for us. His brochure described a boat ride to Caprì that included a drop off at the grand marina with a 4 hr stay in Caprì. He also booked the same tour to 4 young people as a swim and snorkel boat ride. We were stuck on a boat for hours in 96* weather. We never went to the correct port and had less than 2 hours in Caprì. When we expressed our concern the proprietor said nothing. Never even apologized!

Amazing accommodation with fantastic views. Guianluigi is an amazing host and cannot do enough to make your stay perfect. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a really lovely hotel up the mountains.

This was such a lovely place to stay! Set up above the town you get a view of the entire bay from the breakfast terrace. We were brave (or maybe a little stupid) enough to hike up from town, it is quite a steep road, but so worth it! Gianluigi offers shuttles up from town in the evenings and it is a true Italian experience going through the tiny streets straight up the side of the hill to the house. Breakfast was wonderful, coffee made to order and delicious local breads. We loved exploring the local area.

The property was located in a beautiful are in the hills above Sorrento. It was a quite a walk but doable. Gianluigi was an outstanding host, he picked us up from the ferry and provided rides every night from the city center to the property.

The property is really far away from the center. 20 minute walk down and too hard to go up. Wifi doesn’t work correctly. Breakfast too basic. Gianluigi the owner does make the experience better because he helps a lot. Too hard to go back to hotel to rest during the day. If you leave the hotel don’t come back until night.

We enjoyed our stay in Casarufalo Paradiso! the mattresses are super comfy, the breakfasts with amazing views were a great way to start every day. Gian Luigi was an excellent host, very friendly and helpful!

Gianluigi made everything easy. The walk is 18 minutes downhill to Sorrento, so his willingness to drive you there and, more importantly, pick you up and bring you back, was key. We had big day trips planned so this worked perfectly for us. Breakfast was delicious with a beautiful outdoor setting. If you plan to do any day trips to Capri or Amalfi, ask him about his travel company - had I known, I would have booked at least one trip with his tour group as their prices were very competitive. Our family of four loved our stay!
