B&B Dietro l'Angolo, simple rooms in Benevento
The B&B Dietro l'Angolo is a simple guesthouse in Benevento, in Campania, close to the Roman arch and theatre. It has air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, parking on site and a management many guests find kind. Fine for a practical stop, less so for anyone looking for atmosphere.

Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of B&B Dietro l'Angolo.
Where the B&B Dietro l'Angolo is and how to get there
The B&B Dietro l'Angolo is in Benevento, on Via Tommaso Bucciano, in Campania. The description places it in the heart of the city, a short distance from the Roman arch, the Roman theatre and the streets of the centre.
Anyone arriving by car has an advantage, because the property has a private car park on site. A car rental service and a paid airport shuttle are also offered. The airport listed is Salerno - Costa d'Amalfi, about 86 km away.
What the rooms are like
The rooms at the B&B Dietro l'Angolo are simple and practical. They have air conditioning, a private bathroom with bidet and toiletries, a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi.
Some look out onto a balcony, others onto a shared terrace that gives an outdoor space. Guests describe them as clean, spacious and comfortable, and one mentions breakfast prepared with care. Do not expect designer furniture. It is a B&B where you sleep well and spend what is fair.
What guests say
The B&B Dietro l'Angolo has a 3.8 rating on Google from 64 reviews. The score is lower than many similar properties, but the positive reviews are numerous and repetitive.
- The host. Mr Vincenzo is mentioned by several guests as courteous, helpful and ready to solve any need, including for those arriving late in the afternoon.
- Cleanliness. Rooms are clean, tidy and well kept, in a quiet setting.
- Value for money. Many people mention good value, and some have returned several times.
- Convenience. One guest appreciates how close it is to transport, bars and supermarkets, as well as the easy parking.
What to know before you book
The drawbacks need to be on the table. Opinions on the location do not agree, and some negative reviews are harsh.
| What works | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| Clean and spacious rooms | An older review describes a dated building and lapses in cleaning |
| Very helpful host | One guest found the managers unwelcoming, with a long wait on arrival and rules posted everywhere |
| Car park nearby or on site | One comment says the centre is a long way off without your own car |
| Fair price | According to one review, breakfast is packaged snacks, a cake left from the day before and yoghurt, eaten at reception |
The same critical review mentions an air-conditioning remote with flat batteries. These are signs that the management can vary from one stay to the next, so check the opening times and entry rules with the managers before you arrive. If breakfast matters to you, ask what is served.
Who it suits
I would choose it for anyone travelling by car who wants a clean bed at a fair price, for example for work or for a stop of one or more nights in Benevento. It also works for a family who does not need many services.
I would not recommend it to anyone wanting a place with atmosphere, a generous breakfast or a centre they can easily walk to. One review calls it, without mincing words, a place to sleep with no pretensions, and in part that is true.
What to do in Benevento
From the B&B Dietro l'Angolo the plans revolve around the historic centre, with the Roman arch, the Roman theatre and the lanes. A walk around takes only a few hours, so Benevento pairs well with other stops in Campania.
If your trip continues towards Naples, an alternative place to stay is the B&B Aminei Metrò in Naples.
