Marina Piccola 73

Style

Small wonder

Setting

Safe harbour

Petite but perfectly formed Marina Piccola 73 is a harbourside haven in Sorrento, with a rooftop terrace for Vesuvius views and hearty homemade breakfasts, impeccable Italian interiors and a charming mother-and-daughter duo running the stylishly curated show. What the boutique B&B lacks in communal areas it makes up for in proximity to the port for day trips to Capri and around to the Amalfi Coast, and there are beach clubs, boutiques and buzzy trattorias for neighbours, too.

Our Favourite Rooms

Each room has its fair share of handpicked antiques, but we especially love the Tower Room for its circular shape, spiral staircase leading to the bathroom and direct access to the communal terrace. We’re also fans of the Deluxe Room with Terrace, for its vaulted bathroom with checkerboard tiles and its breezy outdoor space.

Stylish outfits for seafaring, and shoes suitable for step-climbing (or heels if you’re planning on using the town lift).

Children

All ages are welcome, but there are no special facilities for children.

Hotel Restaurant

Breakfast at this boutique B&B comes with a choice of savoury, sweet or both, all served afternoon-tea-style on overflowing tiered plates, with a side order of some sea views out on the sunny terrace. Roberta and Alice’s homely hospitality extends to baking pies and cakes, ensuring their guests don’t go hungry.

Hotel Bar

Aperitivo hour on the terrace is as abundant as the breakfasts, with small plates, sundowners and obligatory spritzes.

The bar is open between 5.30pm and 11.30pm, but is closed one day a week between April and September.

Room Service

Breakfast can be delivered to your room between 7am and noon.

Planes

Naples’ Capodichino airport is an hour and a half away by car. Hotel transfers start from €100.

Trains

Trains Sorrento’s rail station is half a kilometre from the hotel; transfers cost €20-25.

Automobiles

You won’t need wheels to get around Sorrento, plus the port is nearby for seafaring day trips to Capri and the towns of the Amalfi Coast. If you have come by car, there’s a car park on-site for small vehicles – bigger ones will have to be stowed away for €20 a day. In summer, driving is restricted to alternate days regulated by number plate, to help reduce traffic, so you’ll need to familiarise yourself with the regulations if you’re planning to get behind the wheel.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

The port is on your doorstep, so it’d be rude not to make use of it with day trips around to the towns of the Amalfi Coast or across to Capri. In Sorrento, don’t miss the San Francesco Cloister, a monastery in the seventh century and now the host of regular exhibitions. The owners Roberta and Alice can guide you to the best beach clubs and assist with general dream-itinerary planning, especially if that includes cookery classes.
