    Baia Serena is a little gem on the Italian coastline

    Not much not to like! The parking and road through the place is very tight. If you are driving here, a small car is the best option. We managed ok with a Renault Clio. Mosquitoes were annoying but you can't do much about those other than stock up on bug spray and citronella candles!

    The location of Baia Serena which is perched on a hill overlooking the sea could not be more perfect. There are stunning views of Sorrento, Vesuvius and lots of the wonderful Italian coastline. It's absolutely breathtaking. Giuseppe and Rosa are the perfect hosts. They go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay and share lots of helpful information about the locality. Chalets are basic but spotlessly clean. Everyone we met was friendly and cheerful. It's a perfect spot to sit and relax and enjoy the natural beauty. There are lots of birds in the trees and little lizards running around. Our chalet was amongst the fig trees and we were lucky to have a few ripe enough to sample! It is very hilly and there are steps to get to most chalets and the restaurant/bar area - not somewhere to go if you have any mobility issues. We loved our stay and would have no hesitation in going back. Thank you Giuseppe, Rosa and family.

    I found the bed really hard and you couldn't close the bedroom door as the bedroom was really small therefore the bed took up all the room.

    We Loved the location and view from our terrace and the hosts were really nice and helpful. It was nice having a second room with a sofa bed that we could use as a little lounge

    It was almost impossible to get to sorrento and positano just a location in the middle of nowhere on a dangerous road(by a bus stop but bus is so inconsistent)

    It was so unique and small and was nice to be so close with the owners. They were such a sweet couple.

    due to the busy main road, it is hard to move from/to the property unless you have a car.

    Very good accommodation. Rooms were clean and with all equipment for self catering. If you are looking for privacy, great views and rest, this is ideal. Very attentive staff.

    What a beautiful location! It's a bit of a climb, because it's against a rock wall, but otherwise great. Lovely swimming pool with beautiful views over the Mediterranean Sea. Staff is nothing short of wonderful. What friendly and sweet people. They will help you with absolutely everything!

    Access to car parking was a little tricky but that was only because my car rental agency messed up and gave me a huge mercedes instead of the car I had requested. By the second day I got used to navigating the corners however

    The views from our room and from the terrace of the restaurant was fantastic. Dinner at the restaurant watching the sun set over the sorrento coast was brilliant. Joseph and his family who run the place are super friendly and helpful

    We found it a little difficult with my elderly mum as our room was at the bottom of the hillside, however it was fine for the rest of us!

    We had a lovely sea view room, which we all loved! The rooms are a little dated, but it was very clean and comfortable, as were all the facilities available.

    The site was quite hilly, but that is no fault of anyone, of course. It is quite difficult to park if you are taking a car, and parking generally on the Amalfi Coast is very limited. I would advise not taking a car and using public transport wherever possible. The buses run every hour from Baia Serena into town, so it is quite convenient. The trains to Sorrento are also very frequent

    The views from the property were excellent, and the pool are was very nice. The accommodation is basic, but perfectly adequate. The staff were friendly and very approachable as well.

    It's very high up from the main town, there's a bus stop outside, however last bus is at 21:30 and be careful as the taxis try and rip you off.

    Loved the pool and the beautiful views. The owners were lovely and helpful. The Air con was a god send.

    Only problem was the bed bug bites. Dont forget to bring skin cream like hydrocortisone. Because the place where we stayed was surrounded by trees. Overall was great , very good experience. Highly recommended.

    What I like most was the location , the view from the pool was marvelous. Overlooking the gulf of Naples.

    if you dont have the car it may be a challenge as your entire schedule will be planned based on timings of only one bus which runs every 1.5-2 hrs. you will easily lose 3 hrs of vacation time everyday. our chalet was located so much down in the property that everyday while coming to the main road to catch bus it felt like a challenge. It is quite steep walk. The nearest grocery store is 500-600m away but on a steep path which is quite tiring. The washroom wasnt in perfect condition If you are in habit of walking everyday then maybe you will manage but otherwise it is tiring.

    the view from the chalet is amazing and totally worth it The manager guiseppe who is quite nice and helped us with our queries Kitchen was Ok and wifi worked fine except one night when it just stopped working.

    The bungalow although spotlessly clean were old and worn. It didn't ruin our stay though.

    Views were excellent, a quiet and friendly site with a few restaurants within walking distance. Transport ran regularly and a good base for Vesuvius, Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento.

    You need a car to fully enjoy remote location, mid may swimming pool and bar closed, you need very good weather as there was no space to sit down with friends inside of the little house but outside was just ok.

    Beautiful sea view, house facilities were adequate to the price paid. Host was very polite and helpful.

    The chalets are becoming a bit older and some maintenance will be needed, our chalet did not exactly match the description and pics on Booking, narrow steep road down not so ideal for longer cars, better park those up hill.

    The stunning sea view, the nice pool area and other places to sit and relax. A restaurant and small shop on the location and last but not least, great hosts.

    We hired a large car and didn’t realise just how narrow the road was into the properly. It’s quirky. Don’t go there if you can’t walk up a few steps or up small hills. It’s the people running the place that make it, to be honest. Pool was lovely. Main road is very very busy. We just didn’t know the area. Would love to go back another time. Just with a smaller car.

    Lovely friendly people running the place.
