Relais Il Pennino

Great location. Close enough to Sorrento but in a small town. The staff was always helpful and welcoming, they managed to make us feel at home. Breakfast was fresh and great, and we also had tasty dinners a couple of times with great views. I can’t recommend it enough. We loved it!

Great location/views, beautiful large space, the rooms had serious blackout opportunities for day naps 😂and grateful for the breakfast each morning.

Would have loved a kettle and teacups and also maybe a light in the hallway.

Siamo stati ospiti insieme ad una coppia di amici presso il relais Il Pennino ed è stata una sorprendente scoperta, le camere sono spaziose e pulite, all’interno di un palazzo storico al centro di Massa Lubrense. Parcheggio comunale gratuito (il pass viene fornito dalla struttura) comodissimo a circa 100 metri. Il gentilissimo proprietario ci ha assegnato una camera superiore rispetto alla prenotazione con un ampia terrazza dalla quale abbiamo goduto di una vista spettacolare su Capri e sull’intero golfo di Napoli e assistito a magnifici tramonti sul mare. La prima sera abbiamo cenato al ristorante “Il Cantuccio” dello stesso proprietario, che si trova a pochi passi dal relais, abbiamo cenato divinamente e siamo tornati il giorno successivo e grazie alla giornata quasi estiva abbiamo approfittato per godere ancora una volta del panorama sul Golfo pranzando sulla terrazza del ristorante. Menzione particolare per la colazione, ricca, abbondante e deliziosa. Grazie Sergio, torneremo presto a trovarti!

Location was convenient to busses. Our room was lovely and comfortable. Wonderful large patio overlooking lush orchards and the sea. Sergio was a fabulous host and his restaurant was marvelous. Special thanks to Natalia.

Dark entry hall at night. Possibly motion light not working?

Breakfast was lovely & fresh. Hosts were very helpful, organising our boat trips to Capri & Amalfi, plus taxi to airport. Their restaurant was superb also. Our terrace was incredible & the sunsets over Capri seen clearly from the balcony are etched in our memories.

It would have been nice if there were a kettle & tea/coffee facilities. Fridge was not functioning well. Lighting was very dim. But none of this had a major impact so we did not mention it.

Where do I even begin.. just WOW. I am still dreaming of this place. You are in a timeless villa style building that is right in the absolute center of Massa. We had the deluxe double room which came with a gigantic balcony (loungers, table and chairs, sunbrella, everything.) The room was HUGE - it has an internal spiral staircase with two single beds up on the loft. The main floor has a comfy queen bed. Bathroom was perfect (and a window with a view of Capri). Having the balcony is a game changer, the sunsets were magical, mornings were peaceful (you can here roosters coking in the distance). All with a view of the ocean, mount Vesuvius and Capri! We couldn't believe it. Breakfast was very convenient and delicious. Eggs any style, bacon, salami, cheeses, fresh veggies, fresh fruits, decadent pastries ( the canolis and crossants were unreal, and omg the tiramisu). The espresso was the best I ever had anywhere in Europe (Ive been everywhere). We even brought our own Rose and prosecco to breakfast to start the day right. The restaurant itself, il Cantuccio, is top teir (farm to table) we did dinner there one night and it was incredible. It is really famous and they have another il Cantuccio in Nerano. All the staff were amazing! Natasha is a superstar and manages the whole property. The owner was great (forgot his name) he even coordinated our airport taxi pickup with a service that we also used to go back. To check-in you need to go down to the restaurant which may be inconvenient if you have lots of luggage. Send one person down if you're a couple, or leave your stuff (its very safe around there). The sign for the restaurant isn't obvious, but if your facing the main entrance of the building its to your right at the end of the road by the public balcony view point. The best part is you are right at the bus station and can go ANYWHERE for $2 euro - Sorrento (ferry to Capri, Nerano, Positano, etc.) Im still dreaming of this place...

beautiful suite with fantastic patio overlooking the ocean. Sergio and his wife were wonderful hosts.

The location was fantastic as was far enough out of Sorrento to escape the tourists.. Sergio, Natalia Francesco and all the staff was so helpful. They assisted us with our travel plans and offered courtesy car to beach with pickup along with taking us to our next accommodation. The room was spacious with a view to die for . Loved everything about the property.

Nothing at all

What a great place to stay. Excellent restaurant, great little town, awesome little beach which was not even busy compared to the rest of the towns!

The room is very spacious. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely time in this hotel.
