B&B L'angolo di campagna in Piano di Sorrento, with a bay view terrace
L'angolo di campagna is a B&B in Piano di Sorrento, Campania, in a quiet rural spot near the sea. It has air-conditioned rooms, a garden, private parking and a terrace with a bay view. I would suggest it to couples and drivers who want calm and a family feel rather than town-centre life.

Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of B&B L'angolo di campagna.
Where the B&B L'angolo di campagna is
The B&B L'angolo di campagna is in Via Cermenna, in Piano di Sorrento, Campania. The setting is rural and quiet, but not far from the coast, and one guest calls it a stunning spot above Sorrento. For exploring the Sorrentine Peninsula it makes a comfortable base.
The Spiaggia Lo Scaricatore is 2.5 km away, so you come here to sleep quietly rather than walk down to the sea. Naples Capodichino airport is about 48 km away. There is a private car park on site, a real bonus around here, and a car is the easiest way to get around.
What the rooms are like
The rooms are air-conditioned and have a flat-screen TV, with a private bathroom that includes a bidet and courtesy toiletries. Some open onto a terrace or the garden. The WiFi is free.
The reviews paint a clear picture. Rooms are clean, tidy, comfortable and well equipped, in a quiet, cool spot, without frills. One guest talks about finding a piece of home here, and to me that seems to be the key to this B&B.
I have no information on the number of rooms or how they are laid out, so if the terrace or the garden matters to you, ask which room you will be given.
The breakfast and the bay terrace
Breakfast is what guests remember most, and the terrace is the reason. It is served in a panoramic, fresh space with a view over the bay.
- The breakfast. The property offers continental, English or Irish, and Italian breakfast. Several guests describe it as generous, with local products and homemade preparations.
- The terrace. Large, with a view over the Bay of Sorrento, and according to one guest Ischia and Procida below. It is perfect for sharing a sunset.
- The garden. Designed for relaxing after days out.
What guests say
On Google the rating is 4.9 from 58 reviews, a very high score. I did not find a single negative comment in the reviews I read, which is rare.
The theme that comes up in almost all of them is the hospitality. Guests talk about warm, helpful and professional hosts who make you feel at home and give useful tips on what to see. They also praise the cleanliness, the quiet and the setting between nature and sea. One family with a little girl says they were shown endless kindness, and a guest who works in a starred restaurant found the same standards here, in a simple setting.
What to know before booking
The downsides are very few, but they should be said in fairness. The first is the location outside the centre, up on the hillside, with the beach 2.5 km away, so you need transport. The second is the simple character of the place, which suits people looking for calm and less so those expecting hotel services.
| What guests like | Worth bearing in mind |
|---|---|
| Family welcome and local tips | Better to have a car |
| Terrace with a view over the bay | The sea is not a stroll away |
| Generous, homemade breakfast | Simple place, not a hotel |
| Private parking and garden | Little data on the number of rooms |
Who it suits and what to do nearby
I would choose it for couples, and for anyone travelling by car who wants to see the Amalfi Coast without sleeping in the chaos. It is also fine for a family with a little girl, as some guests report. It is not the right address for nightlife or for a sea view from the doorstep.
From the area you can easily reach Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast and the archaeological sites nearby. If you are planning a wider trip around Campania, I also recommend the B&B Aminei Metrò in Naples and the B&B Dietro l'Angolo in Benevento, though all I can tell you about them is the name and the town.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
