Wonderful hosts, incredible location
We’ve just come back from honestly the best holiday we’ve ever had. This is all thanks to Emiddio and his wife for making us feel so very welcome and being the perfect hosts throughout our stay. They always went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. We also want to give a special shoutout to their daughter for a fantastic dinner on the first night (which I highly recommend doing during your stay). The location itself is incredible. Very much hidden in the hills, however, the views are to die for. Would definitely recommend sitting out during dinner time for the most amazing sunset you will ever see (accompanied by incredible views of Vesuvius in the fading light). While staying here we did a lot of travelling, as we found the location the perfect distance to visit Sorrento, Naples and the Amalfi Coast. We stayed in the Panoramic cabin which was immaculate and had its own balcony overlooking the incredible bay. There is plenty of parking on site, which is safe and well looked after, if like ourselves, you are thinking of driving while staying here. Couldn’t have asked for a better location or hosts for our holiday. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Incredible. Owned and run by charming Ehiddio. Couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough. Rustic and charming. Incredible views lovely small pool. Ask for room with balcony. Parking safe but hairy drive up from village. Don’t bother to eat anywhere other than here. Chef Giovanni, you’ll want to take her home. Urge you to stay minimum two nights. Enjoy!

Our stay at Buona Stella was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Emilio truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. This man exudes pure happiness. Pro tip: definitely have the home made dinner. Not only is the food delicious, it coincides perfectly with the sunset.

Cute place with breathtaking views
We stayed in the panoramic hut. This hut was amazing and very good value for money. The staff were friendly and the hut was super clean. The view is breathtaking too. My partner made a mistake when he booked this hotel and only asked booked for 1 person. So when we arrived the hotel staff were extremely helpful and let us book for another extra person there and then. We were very relieved by this as we did not arrive until 11pm at night. We went stayed here as we wanted to explore the amalfi coast. This is not in walking distance to the amalfi coast. It is around a 45 minute drive, therefore me and my partner hired a car. It is not for the faint hearted as the roads leading to the hotel are extremely narrow, however my partner did a great job with driving along the coast.

Small car advisable
Amazing views! The road to get there is small and curvy, signs indicate the way as long as you find the first sign in the little square. Given the challenging drive, it's not something to do multiple times/day. Fortunately they offer a dinner service: good food and a good price.

Thanks for the review, but I must say that unfortunately driving is demanding and for those who cannot drive, unfortunately I realize that coming from other countries you do not accept the reality of our territory.

Amazing view!
We were planning to stay at Buona Stella one night only, but as we walked into the property, we immediately booked the room for another night. We stay in the room with a balcony and amazing view! We felt so spoilt. The room was super clean and cozy, the bathroom as well. We enjoyed a great breakfast each morning with a fantastic view. The owners also provided dinner with reasonable costs,it was so delicious with beautiful ocean backdrop and sunsets. We would recommend this BB to anyone who would like to explore the Amalfi coast.

Great stay at Buona Stella
Amazing! The view from the terrace is beautiful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included (freshly baked pastries, yogurt, juice, coffee). We decided to get the dinner for an extra cost, but it was well worth it - portion sizes were more than sufficient and always tasted great. The pool was perfect since it was very hot out - we used this a lot to cool down. The surrounding area was very quiet since it is up on the mountain and far from typical tourist areas. The walk down to the nearest town (Pimonte) was about 20-25 minutes. We highly recommend this place!

We had an amazing time!! The views are absolutely stunning and the people in Buona Stella are super friendly, warm and welcoming. You get to enjoy both - the stunning views of the Mediterranean and Mt Vesuvious on one hand and the olives plantation around the hills on the other. They opened a new resturant and the food and the wine was just too good!! Very helpful staff who are always there to provide great suggestions for local tours, food and travel. A truly unquie experience and we loved it! Will certainly go back again for the views and the gorgeous food!

Man sollte die Instruktionen vom Inhaber im Vorfeld genau lesen, bezüglich der Anreise mit einem großen KFZ und Verpflegung auf dem Zimmer. Das Frühstück ist italienisch übersichtlich. Ansonsten war es ein schöner Aufenthalt mit spektakulären Blick.

Danke für die Bewertung, in Wahrheit ist alles geschrieben und eine automatische Nachricht kommt, sobald Sie gebucht haben, in Wahrheit zahlen wir den Preis für Ihre Leichtigkeit und dann geben Sie der Struktur die Schuld. Ich glaube jedoch nicht, dass Sie zu Hause in Ihrem Schlafzimmer essen, und daher essen Sie auch nicht bei mir zu Hause. Wenn Sie andere Bedürfnisse haben, müssen Sie ein Apartment und kein Zimmer buchen. Ich würde gerne wissen, welchen Sinn es macht, zu einer Struktur wie der unseren zu kommen, die einen qualitativ hochwertigen Service bietet, und stattdessen zum Discounter zu gehen. Wählen Sie beim nächsten Mal eine Wohnung.

Die Anfahrt zur Unterkunft ist zwar sehr abenteuerlich und eher für kleine Autos gemacht, aber der Ausblick lohnt sich! Wirklich atemberaubend schön! Die Zimmer sind sauber und modern eingerichtet, nur das Bad ist etwas klein und könnte renoviert werden. Mein Mann konnte über die Duschwand gucken und der Wasserdruck war mal da und mal weg, genau wie das warme Wasser. Das kostenlose Frühstück ist typisch italienisch und es gibt leider nur süße Speisen und wenig Auswahl. Ein bisschen frisches Obst oder Wurst und Käse würden schon ausreichen, um das Frühstück aufzuwerten. Das kostenpflichtige Abendessen war dagegen phänomenal und wird von der Tochter des Eigentümers jeden Abend mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Allein deshalb wären wir gerne schon länger geblieben! Wir haben uns super mit den weiteren Gästen der Unterkunft verstanden und der abendliche Sprung in den kühlen Pool hat die heißen Tage super ausklingen lassen. Wir werden sicher wieder kommen!

Thank you for your score, but what you wrote really makes me angry.Breakfast with sausage and cheese you make it in your country if you come to Italy to suit our habits we prefer coffee and sweets, if you wanted sausages you had to go in an internal hotel. The road is always a bit difficult due to your habits given that we warn you very well in advance so that if someone has difficulties, they can also cancel. The bathroom is actually small but nothing is missing but even this you did not discover upon arrival but it is clearly evident in the specification of the rooms and in the photos. If it were possible I would like to have interesting reviews for myself and other guests. Thank you

I proprietari davvero accoglienti e super ospitali, non ci hanno fatto mancare nulla. Pulizia impeccabile e piscina davvero rilassante, perfetta secondo me per coppie che cercano pace e relax. Abbiamo mangiato bene su una vista spettacolare. Siamo contenti di aver goduto ogni istante e ritorneremo di sicuro!

Un vrai bout de paradis!
Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits au Buona Stella et quel enchantement! Bien que la route pour y parvenir soit un peu compliqué avec des GPS qui se perdent, le bonheur est au bout du chemin! Cet hôtel familial offre tout d'abord une vue époustouflante sur la baie de Naples et le vésuve et chaque coucher de soleil est un régal pour les yeux! Nous étions logés dans les chambres toutes neuves, au dessus de la piscine qui sont vraiment spacieuses, très bien décoré et plus que confortable avec en prime un balcon! La piscine est suffisamment grande pour se rafraichir en fin de journée et les transats sont très agréables pour boire un spritz face à la mer :) Le restaurant est un pur délice culinaire! Un assortiment charcuterie/fromage est proposé en entrée puis toujours 3 plats différents et des desserts, mention spéciale à la tarte au citron de la nona! Nous y avons mangé les 3 soirs! Petit déjeuner simple mais excellent aussi. Enfin, les hôtes sont d'une gentillesse absolue, toujours au petits soins et ils vous feront sentir comme "à la maison". Bref un rapport qualité/prix imbattable pour un s"jour qui restera dans nos mémoires, merci!!! Conseil: hôtel plutôt loin de la côté donc à privilégier pour visiter les alentours (Pompei, Vésuve etc.) et peu accessible en scooter. Comptez environ 90€ de taxi depuis Sorrente ou environ 1h30 en voiture.

Eigenaar super vriendelijk, kamer erg oud
Uitzicht vanaf het terras is geweldig. Kamer heel krap met 4 personen en erg oud. Heel klein raampje en dus bijna geen daglicht. Douche heel klein. Eigenaar is erg vriendelijk, ontbijt met warme broodjes en verse koffie. De weg naar de accommodatie was erg smal en stijl langs een afgrond, lastig te rijden zeker in het donker.

Ik moet zeggen dat de goddeloosheid altijd met de hand wordt gemaakt, de slaapkamer met matras werd gekocht op 10 augustus, je bent waarschijnlijk een gekke en zeer afgeleid site omdat de foto's heel duidelijk zijn en er ook vierkante meters zijn aangegeven. de waarheid dat als je veel comfort wilt, je in plaats daarvan een beetje meer zou moeten uitgeven om oplossingen te sparen die niet geschikt zijn voor jouw behoeften. Dit zal de reden zijn waarom we voor het volgende seizoen niet langer een vierpersoonskamer maar alleen een dubbele kamer hebben om dit soort klanten te elimineren die, om zijn comfort te bewaren, tegelijkertijd eisen. Wat de weg betreft, wordt ons hele grondgebied gekenmerkt door smalle straatjes, inclusief de hele kust van Amalfi, maar ik zie dat u graag ongewild bent en uzelf toestaat beoordelingen te doen zonder de kenmerken van ons grondgebied te respecteren.
