  Great view and staff, accommodation needs renovating.

  14 Oct 2025

  Views and staff outstanding, location outside of town, exit from driveway tricky when driving a car. Accommodation needs renovating, gas bottle in kitchen cupboard does not inspire confidence in safety, small dark and muddy (after rain) entry to cabin. Having said that, the meal out on the terrace overlooking the bay was beautiful, tasty and generous, it has a pool and a room for table tennis.

  A calm and relaxing place to stay with stunning views of the coastline

  29 Sept 2025

  The location of Baia Serena which is perched on a hill overlooking the sea could not be more perfect. There are stunning views of Sorrento, Vesuvius and lots of the wonderful Italian coastline. It's absolutely breathtaking. Giuseppe and Rosa and their two sons are the perfect hosts. They go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay and share lots of helpful information about the locality. They made us feel very welcomed. The chalets are basic but spotlessly clean and they have air con (for an additional charge). Everyone we met was friendly and cheerful. It's a perfect spot to sit and relax and enjoy the natural beauty. There are lots of birds in the trees and little lizards running around. Our chalet was amongst the fig trees which provided lovely shade from the sun around noon. Baia Serena is built on a hill - there are steps to get to most chalets and the restaurant/bar area - not somewhere to go if you have any mobility issues. The parking and road through the place is very tight. If you are driving here, a small car is the best option. We managed fine with a Renault Clio. There is a bus stop within walking distance which goes into Vico Equense and from there you can catch the train to lots of place along the coast (including Pompeii and Naples). Busses and trains are reasonably priced. Stock up on bug spray and citronella candles to guard against the mosquitos! We loved our stay at Baia Serena and would have no hesitation in going back.

  Do not book in at the Baia Serena. Worst place I have ever booked into

  18 Oct 2024

  Avoid this place like the plague, the advertising and pictures on the place makes it sound fine, the reality is completely different, the paths on the site are very steep and totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues or have small kids, the steps to some of the chalets are frankly in poor condition and dangerous, the proposed view from the chalets are mostly obscured by foliage, the chalets themselves are small, the beds fit in the bedroom but nothing else, the a/c is an extra expense, there wasn’t even anywhere to sit in the chalets apart from the bed, no TV and only Wi-Fi in the common areas, although just heard about that as we did not stay. In the bathroom the shower was very small and the shower head hanging down as there was nowhere to hung it from. The restaurant on site, which was one of the main reasons we picked this place, we were told on arrival closed on the 15th. September a week before we arrived, nothing on any website informed us of this. The only comment the manger made on this was that there were a pub and two restaurants nearby, the pub was about a 10 minute walk from the main gate but you’d have to walk up the steep paths to actually get to the main gate first, out of the two restaurants which were around a kilometer away up a steep and twisting road that was poorly lit only one was open during the week. We found this information out at the place we booked into to avoid having to stay at the baia Serena.The place is very isolated, where most places would have some means of transportation, to get anywhere from here is public bus, do not believe the hype that Baia Serena is less than a kilometer away from the town, and as the crow flys it is, however by road it is nearer 4 Km away. All in all it spoilt the holiday in a beautiful part of Italy, if it could be seen through the trees and bushes

  Hidden gem Baia Serena

  24 Aug 2024

  Baia Serena had everything we needed for our holiday. The facilities are a bit older and are in need of some TLC. However the location is wonderful with views to die for. We had a Seaview room with a great view over the Sorento coast. Views from the terrace restaurant and pool area are amazing. The pool is big enough and super deep! Perfect for kids diving. It is an extremely hilly area and there are steep hills in and around the hotel between the Chalets, pool and reception. This is a family run hotel and Joseph and his family are there to help from first thing in the morning to late at night. They're a hardworking family and always present a friendly attitude, which leads to a wonderful atmosphere. There may be some more polished facilities in the area but as a family we would happily return for a stay

  Absolutely awful

  19 Sept 2022

  Filthy! As you can see from the small number of a large collection of photos it has fallen far below our expectations. This was booked for a 60th birthday celebration holiday and it was ruined.One of our group broke out in what we thought were bites but having visited the doctor we have now found out it was scabies caught from the bedsheets (the doctor has advised- for info: the individuals home is pristine).Please do not risk your health by visiting.
