This property is beautiful, clean and spacious. We rented it for two nights to visit the Amalfi coast. It is 30 minutes away from Sorrento. The family that owns the property is very kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! The only issue we had was the location. Our GPS didn't have the exact address. The owner gave us directions, but we got lost anyway. We were happy once we found the place. There are two restaurants close by and they were both good.

While it may be a little hairy (sometimes scary) getting up to this bed and breakfast, the view, the company and the hospitality are so worth it! We loved this little slice of heaven and the breakfast was exceptional! Caterina, Ignazio and Ringo (kitty) were amazing hosts!

We were happy to host Amber Nicole. We do everything possible to give our guests all the information for the most comfortable and least busy roads, but on the Amalfi and Sorrento coasts the roads are not the widest.

The most hospitable hosts! The home is a gorgeous villa on top of a hill. They stayed up late to make sure we found the road that lead to the home. Incredible breakfasts (local produce) with the most amazing view on a terrace overlooking the hills. Catrina (host) stayed up late two nights in a row to make us home made cakes. They texted us a personal map via Google Maps that outlined the easiest route to drive Positano as the roads can be somewhat difficult. The best accommodation experience on our Europe trip!

I stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago and never wrote a review, but the owner's response to a 2-star rating inspired me to write one now. First, the positives: The location is truly stunning and the breakfasts Caterina made were delicious.

Ignazio, Cassiopea's host really did above and beyond to assure we have a pleasant stay. Fresh breakfast ingredients, friendly smiles, and useful travel information about Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Coast, Bed and Breakfast Cassiopea have it all. Ignazio and his wife Caterina take pride in the culture, the people, the food, the life. The stay at Cassiopea is definitely the highlight of our vacation in Italy and we would not hesitate to return and visit the family just to visit the family again.

We spent two days at Cassiopea. Ignazio and Caterina are the most gracious hosts one can imagine; friendly, helpful, interested and simply real. We loved being there and immediately felt like we were with family. Food is outstanding and the accommodations were spacious and clean. The setting is great and Ignazio gave us a tip on using the tramway to get to Pompei that saves us both time and money, and gave us a spectacular view from above. We all hope we will come back again soon. If I am ever back in this region, I will not hesitate to book at Cassiopea. Highly recommended!

This hotel popped up at the top of the list in my search for hotels in the Positano area. False advertising. It is not in or near Positano and there is NO bus or train that will take you to Positano. My room had no window, which was a bit uncomfortable. The hosts seemed like superhosts, offering me rides to Positano since it was a 20-30 minute drive each way - yet failed to mention they were going to charge me 40 euros and it would be only cash even if they have a credit card machine. They did this repeatedly. They were not upfront and I owed $200 in additional charges cash only and there was no ATM nearby. They refused to let me pay with my credit card for the additional charges even though they charged my credit card at check out for my room. I was dumbfounded. They said I would have to wire them the money or mail them a prepaid cash card. WHAT? This is ridiculous. If they had told me even the day before checkout I would have gone out of my way to get the cash. I'm very disappointed. I stayed all over Italy but this only happened to me here at B&B Cassiopea - under the guise of being super hosts. I still can't believe I got duped. I should have known better. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere in Positano - not here.

In 20 anni di attività è la prima volta che ci accade una cosa simile, avevamo deciso di non rispondere a questo ospite anonimo perchè le miglior risposte sono i tantissimi giudizi rilasciati sui più importanti portali turistici internazionali. Risponderemo perchè gli operatori di Expedia così hanno consigliato. a) con i mezzi di trasporto pubblico è possibile raggiungere la Costiera Amalfitana e Positano ed è molto facile raggiungere la Costiera Sorrentina e la stazione del treno. La fermata del bus pubblico è a soli 50 metri dal nostro B&B che è baricentrico alle due Costiere e non lontano da Pompei, Capri e Napoli ; b) con l'auto, come afferma anche il nostro ospite anonimo, occorrono circa 25 minuti per raggiungere Positano e soli 10-15 minuti per raggiungere la Costiera amalfitana; c) gli amanti del trekking possono raggiungere Positano in circa 1 ora Per quanto riguarda le stanze, tutte sono ampie e hanno la finestra. Due su tre hanno la finestra vista mare, tutte accedono ad un ampio terrazzo panoramico con vista mare. Per il pagamento, tutti i nostri ospiti possono pagare con le carte di credito ma anche con bonifico bancario. In tutti questi anni tutti i nostri ospiti hanno pagato quando dovuto con un eccezione di un ospite singolo venuto da noi qualche mese fa. Questo non solo non ha pagato quanto dovuto compreso la tourist tax (che abbiamo pagato noi) ma ha avuto comportamenti molto strani in quanto invece di utilizzare i mezzi pubblici o il taxi chiedeva a noi di essere trasportato,abbiamo pensato che avesse difficoltà economiche e lo abbiamo aiutato. Non riserviamo alcun rancore verso questo ospite, poiché, questa piccola somma che ci doveva non cambierà la nostra passione per l'ospitalità e sopratutto non intaccherà i meravigliosi ricordi dei momenti vissuti con i nostri ospiti, fatti di di conoscenza, di umanità, di affetto.

The ONLY thing bad is getting here, but once you find it, you truly don't want to leave!!! Our hosts went above and beyond their efforts to make us comfortable and to accommodate our needs...they truly are Super Hosts! The breakfast spread was superb and an abundance of delicious pastries, fruit, juices, coffee, water, egg & cheese omlet, breads, and spreads...so much food! I HIGHLY recommend B&B Cassiopea to all of my friends and family! The hosts are extremely kind, helpful, and spoke enogh English to get around the language barrier! We are more than pleased we chose B&B Cassiopea...hoping to return someday!!!

The hosts were amazing! They were so accommodating and were available to us, but also gave us our space. They even provided me with supplies as I cut myself at a beach earlier. They also provided us a sample of local home-cooked food, which was even better than the restaurants there. Every day, breakfast was available for us. The room was extremely clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked great! While the streets are tough to navigate unless you have a small car, the hosts provided a much easier route than Google. Also I'd suggest driving there in the daylight if possible as night was a bit tougher. The hosts and property were great and I'd definitely go back! Thanks guys!!

Lovely rural B&B overlooking the sea
The views from B&B Cassiopea are stunning. It is perched high up overlooking the hills, forests and sea with some fabulous sunsets over Ischia. This region is very pretty with flowers everywhere and dramatic coastline. There is loads to see and do. We spent a day in Pompeii, which nothing can quite prepare you for, and another in Naples museum seeing the extensive collection marble statues and frescoes from Pompeii and other sites. Paestum is about 1.5 hours drive away and is well worth a visit. The 3 Greek temples and in excellent condition and it was very relaxing walking around the large site. There were relatively few people there, adding to our enjoyment. There are many beaches nearby too. The Amalfi coast is spectacular but very busy and we were unable to find parking to visit Positano and Amalfi during the afternoon and with hindsight we should have gone by boat. Driving around here is an experience I'm not sure I want to repeat and we were amazed and thankful we managed to return the hire car without any scrapes or dents. Public transport is regular and cheap so you can get around easily without a car.

My family was a little skeptical as the taxi wound its way up the mountain to Bed and Breakfast Cassiopea, but they were ultimately very pleased with the accommodations. And we were delighted with the graciousness of our hosts, Ignacio and Caterina who went well out of their way to make our stay a wonderful one. Caterina's breakfasts included her homemade jams and cheeses, unbelievable chocolate olive oil cake (that my son regularly asks me to get the recipe for), and other deliciousness. Ignacio escorted us around the area after we decided that we were not cut out to drive in Italy. The view from the terrace was lovely, and with Ignacio's help we explored the beautiful Positano and Amalfi. Oh, and Ignacio's homemade wine--yum!

Great and quiet place held by a wonderful couple
We stayed 5 nights there during the long week end around May 1st. We really appreciated staying in this quiet place rather than in the crowded villages of the amalfi coast. The couple owning the place is so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is great for people who like continental breakfast: Pastries often cooked by the wife , same for the jam and the cheese . Everything is delicious. The room had access to a large terrasse with sea view. Few parking spots . driving to the place is bit challenging initially with narrow roads but you get used to it .

Great views, quiet location
Great location for those that like to be away from the high season carnage of sorrento and the Amalfi coast towns. perched high up in the hills you can see both the sorrento and Amalfi coasts. Our host, ignazio went above and beyond, was engaging and very helpful with local knowledge to make the best of our time, driving us to positano and arranging a boat trip around Capri. Breakfast included some home grown produce which was a nice touch. There's a nice pizza restaurant 100 yards from the property and a very nice restaurant "torre ferrano" just a bit further down the hill. All in all, highly recommended

Catherine & Ignazio both welcomed my husband and I like we're family. They offered to pick us up from the airport with their own car for a small charge. Upon arrival their place was so clean and fresh, we really couldn't ask for a better place to stay! Location was great, it's right in the middle of Sorrento and Positano. The fresh organic homemade breakfast was delightful, we looked forward to it every morning! Wish we stayed here longer!!! The two restaurants that they recommend is a two minute walk from their place and it was the BEST Italian food we had ever. Don't eat in Positano, eat at the two nearby restaurants! They're not expensive and sooooo authentic.
With Ignazio & Caterine, so friendly and helpful!

The Best Part of Italy
My stay in Italy (first stop Rome) was off to a bad start. All of that quickly changed when I voyaged to Cassiopea. Location: In Vico Equense there are two buses that go into town and a train that will get you as far north as Naples and as south as Sorrento. The islands (Capri, Amalfi, Ischia) and cities (Pompeii, Positano) are easily accessible from town. Ignazio can also arrange for affordable transportation. Vico itself is a quaint town. Delicious food and beaches nearby. It's a quiet solace in the midst of all the tourist destinations. We encountered fewer tourists here. Hosts: I can't say enough about how comfortable Ignazio and Caterina made our stay and the free comedy their daughter Miriam provided. Breakfast was scrumptious; the fresh, juicy fruit came their garden. Side note: Ignazio is a winemaker.

Awesome Awesome hotel
Catarina and Ignacio are phenomenal!!! They are extremely accommodating and their breakfast was awesome! There is no AC, but we went in September and the cool night air was perfect and there is also a fan in the room. They speak pretty good english and always ask if they can do anything to make your stay better, how you slept, etc. The other huge positive was Catarina drove us to Sorrento one morning! What B&B owner goes out of their way that much? Thanks again Catarina! The only minor negatives, and I didn't knock any stars off because they were minor was the shower wasn't draining and normally you were ankle deep in water. I brought this up to Catarina and she did have someone out to fix it, but it didn't solve the problem. No worries though, we survived! The only other down side is the distance from Sorrento. It was our fault, we didn't have a car and relied on public transportation, but when you look at a map it looks like such a small distance. You have to take the public bus, then train to Sorrento. It wasn't that bad though and we enjoyed it! Overall 5/5, thanks again and hopefully we can come back!

This place grows on you each day
Overall fantastic experience. The hosts are incredible, Ignazio and Caterina are so sweet and accommodating. They told us about their home, their garden, their families, the history of the area. All in hopes to enhance our stay. The place is a bit difficult to find if you are unfamiliar, but Ignazio met us on the main road and guided us up the mountain to the residence. At first, this can be a very intimidating drive. You must take a very winding road, which is extremely narrow in some parts to get to the residence. After several times, we timed the drive to the top and it takes approx 12-13 minutes to go up/down. However, being a bit isolated on the hill is very relaxing and a gorgeous view. If there is anything negative, it is only the drive as it can cause anxiety if you are nervous about very curvy and narrow roads. However, it was quite a fund drive after getting used to it. The best part is, it is very clean place with a nice large bathroom. The terrace is amazing, the fresh breakfast is great, and gardens surrounding the home are beautiful, and the views are refreshing. The bedroom we stayed in is very basic, and the beds are not as comfortable as most but still sufficient. We were there in very hot temperatures - over 35 degrees each day. But the room stayed cool enough to not be a big issue as there is no A/C.

Incredibly welcoming, tranquil room near Sorrento
After some intial trouble finding the B&B, we eventually arrived at around 10pm. We were welcomed by Ignacio who, despite how late it was, took the time to give us advice on the surrounding area and presented us with walnuts from the garden and pineapple juice. The room was fairly basic but extremely clean with a stunning view of the area from the window, with a big double bed and a spare single bed in the corner. Breakfast was delicious & plentiful, local foods served by Caterina and her daughter on the picturesque terrace. Caterina was absolutely lovely - finding us adaptors for the room, making sure we had more than enough food, giving us directions to the best local beaches and generally making us feel very welcome. It was a little further than Sorrento than we expected, but that was our mistake for not looking up exactly where it was before booking. I would definitely go back as Caterina and Ignacio were some of the nicest people I've encountered on my travels, and the accommodation is incredibly reasonably priced!

A peaceful retreat in Amalfi
We had a wonderful stay at Cassiopea. Our hosts Ignatio and Caterina were really sweet and helpful. Caterina even gave us a ride down to Vico Equense as she works in the Hospital there. The B&B is in a peaceful, picturesque little town in the mountains about 20 minutes bus ride down to the ocean. It is very accessible if you have a car. If you don't there is a bus stop directly outside the B&B which comes every 35-45 minutes. There is also a wonderful hiking path right outside the B&B. The cherry on the top was the wonderful breakfast which was prepared by our hosts - an assortment of tasty pastries, fruit, cheese, coffee, juice and even an omlette.

Magnifico Bed & Breakfast - Cassiopea
Ignasio & Caterina and their lovely daughter Miriam were wonderful! The room was very large with a magnificent view of the Amalfi coast high on the mountain. This couple was so warm and welcoming. They shared a fantastic pizza restaurant with us that was run by a friend of theirs named Giuseppi where they serve the pizza by the meter! Dinner with our hosts was absolutely the best! If you do not have a car, do not take a taxi, it will cost an arm and a leg. But a word of caution, they do not accept credit cards. I would have had the cash ready if I had known that from the start, but we barely had enough cash to pay for our 3 nights. Thank you Ignasio and Caterina, we love your home!

Sorrentine Peninsula...from above
If tired of the churn of buses, hotels, and groups of people crowding the main roads along the Sorrentine peninsula, then do yourselves a favor and stay here for as long as you can. The location is near the middle of the peninsula, so you are well away from the tourist crowd and into the places where life happens. It also affords you the ability to get to either side of the peninsula relatively quickly. A short hike up starting from across the street leads to an unbeatable view of the whole area, nice for sunsets. The clean B&B itself is fabulous: built on the foundations of a very old castle, with killer views. Most importantly, the hospitality provided by the family who runs the B&B was the best we'd had in Italy. You will quickly recognize that they are very proud of the local culture and want to share it with you, including their homemade foods like the jam and cheese served up at the plentiful breakfast (yummy), accompanied by local produce, and served on the terrace if you like. Don't be surprised if a few other goodies from the family's kitchen and garden work their way to the table. Doable by bus, but we had rented a car in Naples and drove the mountain roads with no problems, go slow and honk lots. A very good restaurant a few houses down, packed with locals. The family are involved in the local community and want to share the “greatest hits” of the Sorrentine peninsula as well as their little part of it, but they also want to learn about you. We'll be back!

séjour agréable, accueil très chaleureux, lieu très propre, petit déj très bon, seul petit bémol un peu difficile d'accès car en altitude, voiture indispensable.

Ravi de l'accueil très chaleureux de Caterina et Ignacio, de leurs bons plans et conseils, de l'emplacement tranquille avec vue sur mer, du petit-déjeuner délicieux avec fruits frais, fromages locaux, huile d'olive, confiture et gâteaux faits maison... Je recommande (à condition d'avoir une voiture, car village dans les hauteurs et non sur la côte)

Unterkunft mit toller Aussicht und super Service
Wir waren über Ostern im B&B und waren von den sehr freundlichen Gastgebern und der Unterkunft begeistert. Pompeii, Sorrent, Capri und die Amalfiküste sind recht schnell erreichbar und die Aussicht von der Terrrasse des Anwesens ist grandios.

Que du plaisir
Des hôtes parfaits, que vous veniez pour vous reposer, marcher ou découvrir les environs ils répondront à vos questions et attentes. La vue sur la péninsule de Sorrente du lever au coucher. Le petit-déjeuner de produits frais du jardin ou des environs est juste parfait et Ignazio et Catarina feront tout pour parfaire votre séjour.
