GuestHost - Dimora del Barone

The location of the property in the centre of the old town is perfect although difficult to find on first arrival as taxis etc are not allowed in to the street. Additionally there is nothing on the outside of the building to indicate the name of the property. The taxi from Salerno airport dropped us in Via Roma which is down the hill from the property so we were faced with a walk up with suitcases etc. Luckily we were able to contact Enzo who directed us to the property and greeted us on arrival. The apartment is spacious, the bed comfortable, the bathroom superb and the kitchen adequate. The apartment was cleaned after every 2 nights with fresh bed linen and towels so during our stay of 7 nights this was done 3 times which is quite exceptional.

On arrival you find yourself outside a pair of large wooden doors and on entering are greeted with a rather dirty communal entrance space with rubbish bins and other things. You then have to climb a stone staircase to the first floor to reach the property - thankfully Enzo carried our suitcase. The property is advertised as an apartment with city views when it is in fact an apartment with street views - if you go out on the juliet balcony ( it is too small to sit on) you can look up and down Via Mercanti but I would not classify this as city views! The breakfast is nothing more than some jams and cereals where we had expected more. This meant having to go out to get bread etc as none of this was supplied. Personally it would have been better to advertise it as no breakfast included. There are no instructions on how to use the hob, microwave or spa bath. Although the room has air conditioning if like us you prefer to have the window open then it is very noisy at night due to its location close to a main plaza with restaurants and bars, but this is what we expected. On a final note none of the above would put us off staying here again

Excellent location and easily accessible to transport / restaurants/ supermarket

The location is sublime - walking distance to all & extraordinarily quiet. There are wonderful restaurants within a 2 minute walking radius; the train station is a 15 minute walk away; both ferry docks can be reacted in 15 to 20 minutes by foot.

There is absolutely nothing not to like! There is one flight of stairs - the hosts carried our bags for us.

The space was very big which was perfect for our group of 3. The location was very convenient and felt safe as well

The toilet floor gets really slippery after a shower which is something to keep in mind. The shower occasionally wouldn’t drain as well but overall still a decent place to stay

Location is great. It can’t be better.

The apartment is very clean with thoughtful amenities and generous breakfast items. We also liked to sit on the terrace to relax in the shade. Communication with Enzo was friendly and we felt very welcome. We would happily stay here again!

Spacious with great facilities. Friendly welcome. Right in the middle of everything.

Front door very tricky to open, but we were told about the issue when checking in.
