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!

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!

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!

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)

We had great stay at Casarufolo! They were so nice and helpful with everything from picking us up from the train station and in the evenings. Gianluigi helped us organize a perfect trip to Capri! Would highly recommend staying here!

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!

WOW, just WOW! This property does not disappoint and the services provided by Gianluigi are phenomenal! The room we stayed in was nice and large and very clean. An added bonus was the larger mini frig. In the room with a little freezer! We stayed in 4 other places in Italy and none of them had a freezer in the frig. No big deal to most, but I could freeze a bag of water and have ice for my ankle! To get the beautiful view, you stay really high up on the side of a mountain. One of the services provided by Gianluigi is the transport up to Casarufolo Paradise, and back down again when you want to go into Sorrento to shop or catch a train. I broke my ankle 9 weeks ago and was in a boot. Gianluigi was so kind and attentive to that and made sure I was ok at the drop off and pick up points. Next is breakfast: WOW again! They have these buns that you will find yourself thinking about later on that day and the best cappuccino! You get to eat your breakfast outside with a view of the beautiful sea and Sorrento. This was the only place during our 2 weeks in Italy that was truly hard to leave. If we ever get to go back to Sorrento, we would definitely stay at Casarufolo Paradise again!

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.

Gianluigi did everything possible to make our trip perfect. He was quick to pick us up at the train station and his nightly shuttle was easy to utilize, plus a true Italian experience. The resort is away from the hustle of the city and gives you a chance to relax if desired. It isn’t a luxury property (and didn’t expect it to be), but the service goes above and beyond that received at other properties.

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.

Gianluigi was so kind and willing to help us get all our stuff from the train station to the property. Truly a phenomenal view, and the house itself is stunning. One of the coolest places I’ve stayed, and the service was incredible. Gianluigi also can help you book excursions like boats and stuff so def ask him. I’d fully stay here again, and we runs a free service where he will drive you from town to the hotel at night. Awesome stuff!

Gianluigi and his family did everything they could to make our stay wonderful, including transportation to the “heart of the action”, especially at night when we tourists were tired. He also arranged travel to our next Italian destination. We loved the views at breakfast,

Our stay was fantastic! Gianluigi was eager to provide for us specially with transportation from and to the city, ( there is no way to walk up) as well as pick us up from marina when we arrived. He drove us down to the marina at 6am and was happy to do it. One of the most important thing was COMMUNICATION! he answered me on what’s up and also through the app. Eye fast and when we were there, almost instantly . He was amazing, we wished we had stayed more time to enjoy breakfast and the spectacular view of the city and Mediterranean, but we were out every day by 7 going to do things. Thank you Gianluigi for allowing us to stay at your beautiful property and for being so very kind. You are a very kind person ! Ciao Justo

This was by far the best vacation we have ever taken. The first day we arrived at the bnb, I remember feeling this extreme warmth inside my heart, something I've never felt before. The sheer beauty of the Italian cliff and the breath taking view of the Sorrento peninsula with Mt Vesuvius in the background. Absolute paradise. Gianluigi was there for our every need. Serving us a delicious and light breakfast every morning, driving us to the city center in the morning and back to the bnb in the evening, booking for us a trip to the Amalfi coast... Gianluigi is the man. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer...

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.

Gianluigi is a kind, generous and flexible host and his driving up and down the hill is a highlight in itself. A beautiful spot, too.

Amazing hotel set in the hills above Sorrento with breathtaking views. Gianluigi is an excellent host and even picked me up from train station. I loved this place

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 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.

A small family run B&B, would highly recommend. Beautiful location, high up on the hill, with lovely views across Sorrento to Vesuvius. Perfect if you like hiking as a 20 min walk down to the town, with lots of lanes to explore & the surrounding countryside. The owner does offer a free shuttle service to & from town which is great. He & the staff were very friendly & helpful which had the stay even more enjoyable.

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.

Beautiful location overlooking Sorrento and the bay. Very friendly and accommodating host. Gianluigi was very helpful with transfers as our two small children would have struggled to walk back to the B&B.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Our stay at Casarufolo Paradise was fantastic. Gian Luigi was made to be a host. He is welcoming and entertaining (and will steer you in the right direction for some great dining experiences as well). As other reviewers have pointed out, the road to the hotel is insanely steep and narrow, so you meet with Gian Luigi at 9pm or 10pm at night and he drives you back up. We had one crazy day that ended at 5pm and after which we were just too tired to continue, so called him and he kindly came and got us. He also dropped us off at the train station on the day of our departure. The walk down in the mornings into Sorrento proper was steep and got the heart rate going, which is a great way to start the day (but it's a good idea to have good shoes). The view at the hotel is breathtaking. You feel like you are at the top of the world. If you don't have plans one night, just do takeaway and get a bottle of wine and sit to enjoy the incredible view of Sorrento and Vesuvius. The breakfasts are great as well. Brioche the size of your head, fresh bread and Gian Luigi's own olive oil (and the best orange juice I've ever had). I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

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

I loved this property, its got a unique charm of a real Italian home, up and away from the crowded, noisy area of Sorrento, so you can enjoy magnificent views of The Bay of Naples..and mountains. It is however not an easy walk from the town but Gianluigi, is a very kind & helpful taxi service.

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.

Gian Luigi , the owner , made the little distance so easy with his great collaboration of his personal shuttle service. Being a little out of the high traffic area was so awesome The view was so beautiful

What a wonderful experience in the hills over Sorrento! Gliluigi was a wonderful host! He made us feel at home and we enjoyed spending time and having conversation with a hard working, kind and friendly guy. We could tell he’s passionate about his property and his city, encouraging others to enjoy both! We loved being high about the city with a beautiful view. It was quiet and peaceful. We arrived via rental car and parked free outside the front of the Hilton. Gliluigi met us there and transported us up the hill. What an adventure! :) Our car was safe and better left at the bottom of the hill. I’d recommend the same to others. He was great about picking us up after our outings with just a short notice when we were ready for a ride. I suggest taking food/snacks/drinks up with you from town. We took simple dinners and wine with us and enjoyed a quiet evening overlooking the view. Great way to wind down after busy day driving and sightseeing the area. . I would definitely return to Sorrento and visit this special place again and highly recommend to others.
