This was a fantastic place to stay. Of our 3 month European trip this was the most spacious and comfortable place we stayed in. The hosts are a lovely old Italian couple who were also the most friendliest of our trip. We were welcomed with wine and biscuits. It was a bit difficult to find at first (about a 10 minute walk from Meta station towards the beach, down some very narrow streets with no street signs) but this just adds to the cultural experience. Definitely recommend this place to travellers wanting a quiet and cosy place to stay 10 minutes by train to Sorrento (trains every 20 mins). Hope to return some day.

The location was peaceful, the rooms beautiful and clean, breakfast was great and all within a short train trip of everything you could want to see! While Carmela and Antonino are wonderful it is Max the fluffy white cat who is the true star of the show! From your friends in Australia - Afton and Domenico

it's a must to call the hostess! she'll come to get you. make sure to get off the circumvesuviana train at meta- 3 or 4 stops before sorrento. we had great difficulty finding it on our own- but it was our fault, as we did not have her number with us. we arrived on a sunday night and everything was closed. but,it was a delightful set of surprises- a lovely, contemporary room in an old town setting. quaint, sensous lemon trees and cactii graced the private, spacious terrace garden which the french doors of our room opened up to. we had a view of the rockmountain and a short stroll down to the beach. heavenly. and camilla, well,i loved her as much as max the cat, who guards the garden. i am allergic to cats but it was no problem as max wandered at free will, around outside on the terrace only. he was good company, and so beautiful. cheap and good eats at a family 'bar' around another corner. yes, the church bells chime and let you know that the hours of your life are slipping by, but close the window and you won't hear a thing. we stayed a week ans booked for another night because we just couldn't leave. i'll go back in my daydreams many times in the next years. circumvesuviana trains and busses were easily accessible. camila gave us maps and schedules. it was easy to get to sorrento, amalfi, pompeii etc and it was lovely to come back to serenity. i took lots of photos of the place but don't know how to 'send 'them yet. just know that it is a photo-worthy spot.

This is a nice venue but very difficult to find and not in Sorrento. Meta de Sorrento is very quiet and not as scenic as Sorrento. We were collected from the Cathedral by her daughter on a moped.

This is very remarkable and cosy place in the small town Meta. Carmella(owner) was very kind with us, and met us in a home-style(with wine and a slice of a pie). I was very much pleased to us and cheered up. :) We are very glad, that we have stopped here and henceforth we are going to do it in the future.

Our time at Orchid Corners was more than we could have hoped for and was by far the highlight of our one month trip to Italy. Carmela and Antonio (and Max the cat) are incredible hosts – Gracious, warm and generous. Our room was lovely and Carmela’s garden provided a peaceful, quite respite from a busy travel schedule. Carmela and Antonio went far beyond the role of a traditional B&B owner and provided us with many helpful recommendations, but most importantly, allowed us to experience a side of Italy that we would never had a chance to experience had we not stayed at Orchid Corners. We have made true friends in Italy. Meta is wonderful area to be used as an anchor point for all activities on the Sorrento Peninsula. Everything is accessible via public transportation (trains, busses and ferries). Meta, a mere five minutes by train from Sorrento, is close to everything, but allows guests a welcome, quite time away from the bustling tourist activity in Sorrento. Our fellow guests were wonderful people from all around the world. Time together at breakfast and in the evenings at Orchard Corners, allowed us to get to know everyone. It was a great gift. We will definitely return to Orchid Corners and highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay on the Sorrento Peninsula.

Carmella & Antonino acclaimed us in their lovely equipped little palace when we arrived tired and exhausted late at night. From the first moment "Mama Carmella" took care of her new "Bambini"! In the warm and friendly atmosphere of Orchid Corner we quickly felt like home. After several glasses of wine and great homemade Italian food we even learned un poco di Italiano (Carmella: Si, si! Brava! Brava!!) Fortunately didn't we see everything so far, so we MUST come back to Meta! and we already know where we will stay next time :-)

We were very happy with the Orchid Corner. It is beautiful and relaxing, the rooms are very clean and cool. Carmella and Antonio are wonderful hosts who made it a truly rewarding experience. Meta is a bus ride from Sorrento and steps away from the beach. It has everything a tourist might want without being overcrouded with hotels. A very genuine and warm place. Breakfasts were nice and varied, coffee was great. You get to meet other guests in a nice unforced manner. Price is right. Staying here really made our vacation special.

Orchid Corner sits in a very beautiful, quiet area. Carmella was very welcoming and gracious as a host. Our favorite area of the property was the garden where we could sit, relax and have a bottle of wine.

All our ratings are absolutely trustworthy. Everything was above expectation, could not have been better. The room and the surroundings were comfortable and charming. Our hostess Carmela a lovely person to get to know.The location was perfect for excursions to historic monuments,Capri, Amalfi etc. We can warmly recommend Orchid Corner!

A lovely place, and an enjoyable stay despite the worst weather imaginable. (The fire in the cheerful commons room/kitchen was a big help there!) Carmella and Tonio are truly warm and wonderful hosts, Max the Cat is awesome, the rooms are delightfully decorated and spacious, the breakfasts hearty. Orchid Corner is a bit hard to find, until you know your way -- but it's certainly worth the effort! We would love to return in a balmier season.

Orchid corner is a nice place. The people are very friendly and gave us excellent material to plan hikes in the nearby mountains. We enjoyed our 6-days stay very much!

One of the best hotel we have ever been in. The surrounding is beautiful and the owners are one of the most friendly people we have ever met. If you want a beautiful quiet holiday around Sorrento, this is the place to go! Marie and Christian
