| Casa Astarita operates at an exceptionally high standard. Breakfasts were excellent and the opportunity to have eggs was especially appreciated. |

| This was the nicest B&B we have ever stayed at. The six distinctly decorated rooms were charming, spotlessly clean, and delightfully pleasing, each one uniquely named with its own personality. The two staff we met were very friendly and helpful, with Adelaide going well beyond her responsibilities to provide excellent service. She was sweet, warm and knowledgeable, assisting us in every possible way. Returning to Casa Astarita and the end of the day totally felt like "coming home". Thank you Adelaide, Anna and Annamarie. !! |

| Great place to stay, but can be a bit noisy. Rooms are spacious, well presented and clean. Breakfast is very good. Not a lot of english spoken but can communicate adequately. Above a bar and restaurant which can be a little noisy and on main street, but overall very good accomodation and would return |

| A charming B&B, was just a shame about the ni=oise, our room was one the main drag and I needed airplugs to sleep. They really should invest in some form of double-glazing/soundproofing and it would have been perfect. The place is beautiful however, teh staff very friendly and the morning coffee fantastic! |

| Appartments und Frühstück waren gut, allerdings liegt das ruhigste App. zum Treppenhaus (Innenhof), d. h., es ist recht dunkel und ohne Ausblick. Insgesamt ist Sorrent britisch beherrscht und teuer, in diesem Rahmen ist der Preis annehmbar - es gibt deutlich teurere Unterkünfte. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Casa Astarita. Our only recommendation would be to get all the bedroom doors oiled as we were awoken quite a few times by creaking doors! The only clientele I don't think the B&B would cater for would be the disabled as there are a few steps to climb to get into the property. |

| Casa Astarita is a beautiful place - very nicely decorated. It is located on the main shopping street. Our room had a balcony that overlooked Corso Italia, which was great, and with the glass dorrs closed it was perfectly quiet and private. The breakfast is really good and we met some nice people staying there at the same time. I think other reviewers commented that there was no staff to greet them when they arrived and the same happened to us. We had to wait about 30 minutes or so. The owner or staffperson that did eventually show us in was very apologetic and explained that he was next door at the shop with the same name, Casa Astarita Living, which we didn't see somehow. If you are asked to submit a time of arrival to Venere.com, you should be more specific than we were - we simply said mid-day. And check the store if no one is around. Otherwise, it is a lovely place in a great location. We walked everywhere, including the marina and train station. |

| We had a fantastic stay at the Casa Astarita. We were welcomed by the owner (even though we arrived later than announced), could choose between several rooms. Clean, quiet, excellent breakfast. Really nothing to complain about.Would higly recommend it to anyone travelling to Sorrento! |

| Our main difficult was getting access to Casa Astarita the day we arrived. This took about 15 minutes. After traveling for a day you just want to get to your room and settle in. |

| We had a great couple of night at this B&B. The room and the communal areas were decorated very nicely and the free juice, biscuits and internet were very much appreciated. There was nobody there when we arrived and generally, no staff were around after late morning, which given the time of year, was understandable. When there was somebody there, they were very friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient, and there is also a good restaurant next door. I'd happily stay here again |

| We had a great 3 night stay at Casa Astarita. There was some confusion when we arrived at the property as the owner was not there and the person responsible gave our room to someone else. They were apologetic and had to shift us to their sister Hotel Mignon for 1 night stay. Hotel Mignon was just a block away with same facilities. Anna Marie arrived in the morning to help us transfer next day. She was very helpful. The B&B is in a prime central location, decorated beautifully and has large rooms. It was a very homely environment as everyone had breakfast together on one table by the fireplace. The kitchen was open to guests all day providing free mineral water bottles, biscotti and limoncella. The free internet really helped us. We really enjoyed staying at Casa Astarita. |

| This accomodation in Sorrento was fantastic. Centrally located and only a 5 minute walk from the train station. Breakfast was simple but certainly enough to get you through to mid afternoon. Would highly recommend. |

| It was a pleasure staying at the Casa Astarita. Alfonso was a great help, as we do not know Italian. We had some minor trouble checking in late the evening of arrival; it was hard to find the entry, the welcome note was not obvious, and the person who helped us was unfamiliar with the rooms, but we eventually were checked in OK. Internet access is a super feature. |

| Our time at Casa Astarita was wonderful -- it is perfectly charming, convenient to everything in town and to the train/bus station, and the staff was wonderful and helpful -- they all consistently went above and beyond the call of duty! The coffee at breakfast was some of the best we'd ever tasted, and it was nice to be able to use a computer with high-speed internet access. We would definitely stay there again! |

| I was happily surprised by this lovely B&B! Nice and welcoming people running the place and it was nice to stay in a place where you really feel you're in Italy, authentic and beautiful decor. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Sorrento! Kind regards, Helena Olsson |

| Wonderful find - stylish rooms, very central and yet peaceful. We very much liked the touch of the flask of limoncello available for a late night drink! Sorrento is an excellent base for Pompei and Herculaneum and the Amalfi coast - this is our third visit and it's good to have found such an excellent value place to stay. |
