The only thing that was a bit challenging is balancing the desire to want to stay out late in the city center, and needing to walk back to the hotel. It’s up a hill pretty much most of the way, and is walkable, but it’s a tough walk, not for those who don’t walk regularly. Or take a taxi and it’s no issue.

I loved the property—Nina is so nice! Very comfortable, air conditioning worked very well, there were rides available to and from the city center, only about a 15 minute walk to the city center. Lovely shower and bathroom, very comfortable. All in all, a great stay!

The location could be an issue with the hill, but they offer shuttle service twice a day.

The host is super friendly and supportive.

Nina and her family are very kind and helpful hosts. The accommodation is situated on a hillside dotted with lemon trees and has comfortable rooms and a cosy little balcony. Sorrento is an ideal base for exploring the nearby islands (Capri and Ischia) and the stunning Amalfi Coast.

It was a little bit of a walk to town, but they had a shuttle twice a day that was helpful.

The property was lovely. The people who run it, in particular Nina were so wonderful and helpful.

Nina, the host, truly exceeded expectations and made our stay amazing. From the very beginning, she impressed us with her friendliness. She even went above and beyond by arranging for pickup at the bus station upon arrival. In addition, evenings were made easier thanks to Fortunato, Nina's colleague, who kindly picked us up from the center and brought us back to the apartment, saving us valuable time and the trek up the hill. The apartment itself was fantastic. It offered a spacious and comfortable environment, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The bed was also a good size, easily accommodating two people. Overall, our stay was incredible! We highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area.

The accommodation boasts beautiful views of the sea in the distance and lemon trees all around, yes its a 15 minute walk to the town centre but if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle this place is where you should stay. It is clean and spacious, and everything is catered for. Nina, the owner, was so helpful and such a lovely lady even surprising us with a bottle of fizz on arrival as we were celebrating special birthdays. A taxi will only take you so far and then a small walk up a steep hill so be prepared if you have a heavy suitcase like we did. Nina does offer a taxi shuttle twice in the evening from the centre which we used once and was really useful. A very short distance from the accommodation is a beautiful restaurant called ll Fillipo. This was ideal and definitely worth a visit. All in all, a little gem in the Sorrento hills but be prepared for some walking. Thank you, Nina and family, for our wonderful stay.

No issues at all.

Absolutely fantastic service. Nina was extremely helpful, welcoming, and kind. The room was much bigger and better than expected. The view outside the room is also beautiful. The decorations and lovely lights in the sitting area outside our room were stunning. Breakfast was very affordable, and easily requested with the choice of eating in your room or outside in the beautiful sitting area. Nina was always happy to help with any questions or queries! There is also a free shuttle service which can pick you up at a specified location, which is very helpful especially after a long day. The location is great, and only a 20 minute walk to the centre. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here for my 30th birthday and the host made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. They put on a free shuttle which was great after a long day in Sorrento to get back up the hill! The location is remote and beautiful. The breakfast was great and worth paying for and all in all a lovely stay.

The journey up the hill in the August heat was a challenge, but in the evening not too bad. The offer of a shuttle twice a day was a great consolation for this though.

Nina was a lovely host and always responded to messages very quickly. The location is set in the hills and has a beautiful view of the sunset. The room is nice a spacious and very clean.

The location is a bit far from the centre but still doable, going up on foot is a bit tiring if it's in the middle of the day, but we did it in the evening and it was very much ok

Nina was en excellent host, always great communication and assistance. The room exceeded our expectations, newly built very modern, super clean and comfortable. One of the best rooms we have ever stayed. They also very kindly offer a shuttle service in the afternoon to come back to the B&B since it is uphill. The area was also super quiet, in nature, which made us relax even more. It's great waking up away from the noise of the center, between lemon trees and enjoying fresh air.

About a 20 minute walk up/down to the main town with a few hills but nothing to strenuous but the host does offer a free shuttle service anyway should you not want to take the walk.

The property is situated near a lovely lemon garden that can be views from the rooms balcony. The host was incredibly helpful picking us up from the train station and always being on hand to help by text. The room was perfectly clean and very comfortable.

It is situated up a hill, but still very walkable up and down.

Our room was nice and spacious and clean, with a great view from the balcony. Nina was very accommodating, picking us up from the station on arrival and preparing breakfasts for us.

If you're looking for a wonderful place to stay in Sorrento, this is your best choice! We had an amazing time here. Nina and her father were very kind and very attentive from the beginning. They picked us up at the train station and, as the apartment is on a hill from the city center, they also offered us a free transfer every night. It's only a 10 minute walk from the apartment to the center, but a 20 minute walk going back up, so this was great and very convenient. The apartment is big and comfortable. The bed and the pillows were really comfortable. The wifi connection was great, I had to make a work video call one day and it worked great. The bathroom is very big and well ventilated. The apartment has access to a common terrace and we had breakfast there every day: it was beautiful. The breakfast was great too, we highly recommend it! You could choose scrambled or fried eggs, toast or a croissant and Nina brought it to your room at the time you required. It was always great. Above all, the stay was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay. A little hilly, but hey, think of the calories. The lady was very helpful.

The B+B is uphill and is not fully accessible by taxis as mentioned in other reviews but we found it easy to get taxis to a certain point and walk the remaining 5 minutes. Nina also offers a shuttle service twice a day either up or down the hill, this was great and we used this almost daily.

The stay at Il Rivolo was amazing. We booked the room with the balcony and were not disappointed. The room was spacious, with excellent aircon and wifi and spectacular views... truly in the heart of the Sorrento hills! What made this stay even better was our host Nina. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Nina is often floating about the B+B which made it really easy to ask questions and she was always there to help. She even offered us some beers and some of her homemade focaccia when her and her family were eating out in their terrace, this was a lovely touch. The B+B is in a remote area in the hills, away from the rush of the Sorrento town, making the stay extremely relaxing and comfortable. There are a few great restaurants nearby that are walkable. On the way back uphill, if we had visited the main town, we found it easier to get taxis back up the hill... it can be quite a climb in the 30 degree heat! We would recommend Il Rivolo to others, a great stay in a beautiful location.

We had a great stay at Il Rivolo! Nina is super friendly and she was really helpful during our stay there. Great food and an external area to relax! The room/bathroom is amazing and all clean!

Be prepared to walk a bit. The accommodation is about 15 minute walk from the Center of Sorrento, downhill on the way into the Center but mainly uphill on the way back. But the accommodation does offer a complimentary shuttle

Clean and beautiful. Perfect for what we wanted. Nina was an amazing host very helpful

Nothing. All perfect

It was located right next to a lemon farm, family run property, really quiet area but still close to everything

Stayed in August 2023

Bit hard to find at first, up a very steep hill, and road was super small (watch for cars and scooters).

Just outside the busy city centre of Sorrento. Apartment was huge, and so comfortable. Nina was amazing. Take advantage of the twice daily shuttles back up to the hotel. Gorgeous views, very peaceful
