We enjoyed our stay. The roo. Was clean and comfortable. Shower is very small but the rest of the space was comfortable. We enjoyed the balcony. The breakfast was a typical Italian breakfast. Nutella croissants. Good coffee. Could have get a clean set of towels. But owner is very friendly and speak English. He was very accommodating and did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible
We, a family of 4, with an 11 and 13 years old kids, stay 6 days in that B&B. It is an excellent location in Sorrento near a lot of interesting site (Capri, Pompei, Amalfi coast) It was clean and the air conditionning was excellent. Our room for 4 persons was comfortable, with 2 balconies and the small fridge in the room works correctly. The main kitchenette has glasses, cuttelery and dishes. They supply good pastry, yogourt, milk, coffee and juice. There was a dishwashing machine. A fridge with a freezer was added during our stay. The host doesn't leave there, so they have to be contacted before arrival time to get the keys. I would not suggest you this place if you cannot climb multiple stairs, however they offer help to bring our luggages upstair at our arrival. We bought fruit to have a more healthy breakfast and kept them in our fridge. We take-out pizza ( 5 minutes walk pizzeria) as dinner on small table at our lovely balcony and observe the neighberhood families with all those lemon trees...Beautiful family stay !…
We spent 4 nights in this B&B; it is situated on the top floor of an old building with no lift but very good located, only 10 min walk to Piazza Tasso and Corso Italia, the main shopping street. Angelo, the owner, was waiting for us, even if it was after 11 pm, and helped with the luggage. Our room was big with a nice balcony and twin comfy beds. Towels were provided but during our 4 days stay never changed. Beside not changing the towels, the only negative thing was the breakfast: same sweet croissants each day and some packed cookies. Very cheap yoghurt, some multivitamin juice and coffee/tea. No fruits or pies (don't be mislead by the nice photos !), no toast or crackers to eat with butter and jam. So if you don't spend too much time in Sorrento and want a cheap but clean accomodation, Il Giglio Bianco is an OK place. If you expect more, than go somewhere else!…
Two nights was enough! We were told it was an old building and we were on the top floor, and no lift. When we arrived, we were thrown out of the airport shuttle (Holiday taxis) at the end of the alley, at the Hotel Leone and told to ask directions in there. He was the rudest old man on reception I've ever come across. Anyway, walked up the alley, dodging the oncoming scooters and rang the doorbell. It isn't well signed! Door was buzzed unlocked and we entered into a large foyer, no person, no reception! A man came wandering in from the garden, took us to our room. 66 steps to the top floor!!! It's a killer. Room was clean, but there's thousands of ants on the little balcony. There was a mega Italian argument going on on one evening. Screaming and shouting echoing through this very echoing building! I presume it was the owners! Breakfast is rubbish. Fridge was broken, so no milk. Breakfast is served in a tiny kitchenette! Soooooo glad it was only two nights, I could not have gotten up them steps again. Oh, and it's in a more residential area, so be ready for children, dog, church bells and house alarm noises!…
Room was big and had a balcony with a nice view. The water pressure in the shower was good. Bed was comfy for me (but my wife didn't think so). Ok, now the bad parts: The breakfast was poor compared to other b&bs I've stayed in Italy, the cocoa powder was expired, and when I opened a jelly sachee there was mold in it. I thought it was safe only to eat whatever the owner was putting on the table every morning, because the other stuff that was already on the table might have been there for a very long time! Besides,the cutlery in the drawer was dirty, I had to take the spoon to my room and wash it before using it. The last thing that disappointed me was the air conditioner, I didn't need to turn it on until the last day, when I found out it was not working... I rang the office doorbell but no one answered. Well, the room itself was not bad but with all these inconveniences I didn't understand all the "certificate of excellence" stickers on the wall. I guess tripadvisor is not as reliable as I thought.…
