Relais Il Pennino

Hotel is a wonderful facility in Massa Lubrense. The staff provided exemplary service and the associated restaurant food was excellent. Massa Lubrense is a quick bus ride to Sorrento and the train station for travel opportunities. There are also private guides (I would recommend Tony) and day trips that can be booked through the hotel. The town is a quiet and less busy alternative to Sorrento and the hotel is highly recommended.

The property was amazing.

A small kettle & maybe a phone for calling reception would of been a nice bonus too my stay.

Room was amazing with a huge terrace / balcony and sunset views. Even the bathroom had a side view of Capri Island. The decoration was beautiful and location excellent. While not in Sorrento, this location was close enough and only 5-7 min by car/taxi to downtown Sorrento. We chose the location because we were able to make use of the local public parking that the hotel gave us a pass for and therefore use our rental car (something impossible to do in Sorrento). Breakfest was amazing with fresh fruit, fresh croissants (cornetti) filled with fruit, cream or chocolate, eggs, espresso every morning. The restaurant were breakfest is served is incredible and also available for dinner. (Seeing many tourists and locals come to the restaurant for the excellent food and views at night and knowing that it was just a few steps from our room was a huge bonus.). If you are looking for a great place to stay with a rental car and/or just outside of Sorrento, don't hesitate in booking Relais Pennino. (Another huge benefit is that the hotel and restaurant are run by the ever present owners which were extremely kind and always available.)

Can't think of anything (10/10). This place far exceeded our expectations.

We loved the location in Massa Centro, the view, the sunsets, the breakfast (Natalia is awesome), the balcony, the sounds of the roosters and the church bells! We really enjoyed the concerts in the piazza. We felt like locals not tourists. The room wasn't fancy but very clean.

Breakfast was taken on the terrace and was lovely. The room was large and airy and there was a view of the sea from the window. The restaurant attached to the B&B had terrific, uninterrupted views over the sea and to the islands. The food was lovely and B&B guests had 15% off.

The staff were lovely. The bed was big and very comfortable. We were upgraded to a sea view room and the view was very nice. The room was big and the chandelier impressive. Great to see USB ports available rather than just plug sockets. A mini fridge was there to keep drinks chilled and some complimentary water. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. We took advantage of the 15% off food at the restaurant on our first day too.

Maybe typical of Italian rooms but there was no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. The bathroom was small and the shower cubicle very tight even for an average sized person. If you're carrying a few extra pounds you will definitely struggle. No mirror in the main room, only bathroom and walls were sparse and room large so no excuse really.

The location is wonderful, the restaurant is very good. Yet, there was no runnign water and they did not bother to make an anoucement nor to offer any compansation for that.

The staff felt like family. They run the restaurant and the hotel. Every morning breakfast was outside at the restaurant with fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juice, delicious fresh pastries, eggs made to order and cappuccino or espresso. We ate dinner there two nights (15% discounts for guests) and the food and service was excellent. Seriously, it felt like home the way they greeted us each day. The view from the restaurant outdoor seating was spectacular. We stayed in the room at street level that had opaque glass doors that opened onto the sidewalk. However, there were very thick, heavy doors inside that could be closed at night the blocked out the light and all noise from the street. We slept like babies! Also, the location is 50 meters from the bus stop and bus to Sorrento comes every 20 minutes for 2 Euro. We had a car that we were able to park for free just up the street with a parking pass that was provided. We loved staying outside of Sorrento on this smaller town. It was peaceful with a beautiful view.
