Very Monastic, nice and quiet. Beautiful views. Parking secure. Shuttles to restaurants.

Oasi Madre property was welcoming and calming. It allowed for much needed peaceful rest after touring the country. The sisters allowed my kids to feel at home with the properties farm animals and litter playground. We felt safe in allowing our kids to move around trhe property without us. The local restaurant provided pickup and return services. great stay

This is a working convent which lets rooms to tourists and visitors. The convent is the home of a small community of Roman Catholic nuns who keep the premises immaculately clean. The rooms are clean but furnished in a rather austere style though comfortable and with private bathroom facilities. The reception of visitors is good and response to problems effective. The convent is in a spectacular position with great views of the bay of Naples but it is a considerable distance from Sorrento. It is 15 minutes drive from the centre of Sorrento and at the top of a very very steep hill (hence the spectacular views) accessed along a long and winding road with no pedestrian walkway. Although there is a bus service it is a little unreliable. A car is essential. The price reflects the nature of the accommodation and its distance from Sorrento itself but as such provides good value for money.

Agree with the others, how clean place is, beautiful views from the terrace and grounds. Having a parking was convenient for us,only 15 min drive to Sorrento and parked there at parking structure for $2 in hour .Street leading to hotel from the main street is very steep and narrow

Great rooms, hospitality, AC, and breakfast. It's an uphill hike from the city center but great views

This place isn’t anywhere near Sorrento. It’s 3 miles to the ferry to Capri and 2.5 miles to the bus/train station - and the last mile is STRAIGHT UP. Completely false and misleading to say it’s in Sorrento. And it’s not a bed and breakfast, it’s a convent. There is no front desk and there is never anyone around if you have a question or issue. The “breakfast” they serve is day old bread, warm milk with stale cereal, expired yogurt and whatever else was left over from the sisters’ dinner the night before. You can only get limited WiFi if you go out on the balcony and it’s sketchy there too BC I kept getting dropped. These people smile and nod a lot, but they shouldn’t be on HOTELS.COM, bc they aren’t a hotel, a bed and breakfast or anything even close to either one.

This is a getaway/retreat in the true sense, at the very top of the high mountain, far from the city center away from the tourists and maddening crowd. There’s no cellphone network there but WiFi is available that only works in the corridor area and not within the room. View from the terrace is great and the home is beautiful. This bed and breakfast place is run by nuns, who are very warm, cordial and helpful. You can preorder dinner a day before or the nun can call a restaurant few mins away that has known them for many years. Someone from the restaurant comes to pick up and drop off customers from this retreat as you can imagine, this isn’t a crowded place with taxis :) P.S. no towels or toiletries were provided besides hand soap. There wasn’t a TV or telephone either. Which is why I said, it’s a vacation place for those that want to be disconnected from their regular lives for a few days. Don’t worry, WiFi calls work though.

The views from the balcony were wonderful. The sisters were so sweet to my family. They took care of everything we needed. The rooms are clean and comfortable. You will need a car or expect to pay a taxi. We took a tour by boat of Amalfie and the tour company included pick up in package so that helped.

We had such a lovely stay with the sisters, they were brilliant hosts. The views and gardens were beautiful, we loved all seeing all the animals and even got to hold the baby rabbits. There is also a really cute play area for children in the gardens. The room was absolutely spotless. The walk into the centre of sorrento takes about 30-40 minutes and is very steep with no footpath for about 10-15 mins, but there are bus stops nearby which can take you into the centre, there is another bus stop nearby for Amalfi & Positano which was very handy. We would stay here again if we returned to Sorrento.

Views are amazing!!!! Staff was also beyond nice!

The property and view is lovely. Rooms are no frills. My issue here was the sincerity of the nuns running this B&B (which saddens me to even say). We booked an extra night by mistake and asked when checking in if we could get a refund for the one night (we were staying 5, not 6). We were assured it would be credited to our account. We asked repeatedly throughout our stay and were told, "yes." We left, figuring the issue would be resolved later. However, when we got home we were told we would not be given credit because it was "not their policy." We are still shocked and extremely saddened by this experience.

We were at the end of a spiritual camino in Italy with 5 days left before our return back to Canada. We chose Sorrento and the Amalfi coast as our destination before returning. We chose this B&b for a combination of reasons. As Sorrento is a relatively expensive city to vacation in we were looking for not only value but also proximity to the city centre. We opted for the value before proximity. In the end we were delighted with our stay. It might have been further away from piazza Tasso but I’m sure we had a very quiet sleep. The walk to town was not as bad as we first thought. There is a wonderful trail that takes you directly to the Marina grande and/or the Main Street leading to the piazza. The bus situation was more of a challenge and taxis were very pricey. Luckily we chose tours where they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. That eliminated early morning rushing around. When we arrived We were greeted by sister Winnie with great pleasure and kindness. The view from both our room and patio/deck was next to none. Our room was immaculately clean and the bathroom was modern and equally as clean. The breakfast attached to our stay was great - fresh baked buns and bread coupled with homemade jams, juices, yoghurt, fruit and of course a variety of coffees. Each day we were greeted by the sisters and treated as one big family. There was a option at an additional cost to have lunch or dinner at the convent. This is a value in itself.

We didn't stay. It is a convent /monestary. There was no mention of that in the description of the room. I felt totally duped. It was incredibly inappropriate for my family. It was way, way, way FAR away from town, unlike the description. We pulled in, saw the set up, were approached by nuns and turned around and left. We ended up paying a TON of money to get something last minute in town -- AND paid for two nights at the monestary when we didn't even stay there. Again, I felt like we were tricked into staying there.

It is just that a bed and breakfast.... it has a wonderful view everything was pretty clean you must need a car to stay there, the a/c in my room doesn’t work but the whether was super nice in the evening. We haven’t try de food on the breakfast. So I can’t make and opinion. For what I paid I will recommend it.

The nuns were VERY welcoming, as were the geese!!! The ONLY downside is that the location is quite remote from town, up a very steep hill, and the local buses are not reliable - their timetable is 'aspirational' at best. The upside of being up on a steep slope is that the views over the Bay of Naples are FANTASTIC!!! Don't forget food for a picnic on the terrace as you watch the sunset.

Stayed a couple days and enjoyed the kindness of the ladies and view from the terrace.

The sisters were lovely, friendly and helpful. The "bath towels" were just thin cloth like a teatowel cotton fabric.

Awesome place. Clean, friendly and well located. Mattress not very comfortable ( only complaint).

The hotel was beautiful and Sister Madelin and the other nuns were very pleasant and helpful. Despite the rooms not have television, telephone and wifi, the rooms were comfortable and the terrace had the most beautiful view of Mt. Vesuvius. We loved Sister Madelin's personality and appreciated her accommodating us. We took lots of pictures and have lots of good memories.

This accommodation easily exceeded our expectations. Our room was clean, bright and spacious and had everything we needed (note that there was no TV nor bar fridge but we had no need of either). After a 3-night stay in Rome, we welcomed the peacefulness of a couple of quiet nights for sleeping and the hillside is just the place for it. Sorrento is walking distance along laneways and stone steps for about 1 1/2 km but it is all downhill with plenty of beautiful sights along the way. We took the public Praino bus (more like a van) on the way back from downtown Sorrento which was quite convenient. I would verify the nuns' recommendation of having at least one dinner at the top of the hill which is about 15 minutes walk further up the hill. We ate at the closest which is the Il Borgo: turn right at the upper end of Paradise and walk until you get to the church then left up the stone steps which take you right to the restaurant.

Close to Sorrento but you need to take a short bus ride. The views of Sorrento and the ocean are amazing. The accomodation is basic...we stayed for two nights and didn't get any fresh towels or the beds made. The patios off the rooms are amazing. The breakfast was ok ;(
