The serendipity is an economical B&B located in central Salerno. It is convenient to walking around the city and quick access to a lot of restaurants, bars and shops. The B&B is clean and well cared for. The host and cleaning staff take good care and are available if guests need anything. There is coffee and tea available as well as a refrigerator and cooking equipment. We had some issues with the shower and toilet, but the host had a plumber come to try and fix it promptly. The environment for the accommodations and access to the B&B were not as pleasant. The access is through an alley and up a steep set of stairs. The alley has an unpleasant odour and the doors to other apartments are often open. We felt safe with the security of the B&B. There are two B&B rooms. One is a larger one facing an open area with a restaurant that can get loud at night. The air conditioner, well sealed doors and metal retractable blinds cancel out the noise well. The smaller B&B room faces the alley and has an unpleasant odour at all times. I would recommend avoiding this room.

An amazing stay in an authentic historic building. The wonderful smell of cooking will stay with me for a long time. The entrance is an a narrow alley and may seem daunting at first, but the locals are friendly. Alfredo is such a kind and friendly host. From the moment we booked, he was helpful and available to answer any questions. He was very generous with water, biscuits, pastries etc that were topped up each day. Italian breakfast was at a wonderful cafe a few minutes away on the main road which was perfect for morning people watching. The apartment was cute, comfortable and superclean. The only negative is that we expected a private kitchen as indicated in the photos, but it is shared with another room. As we were out most of the time, it wasn't a problem, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable cooking a meal. This may have been my assumption and didn't really affect our stay. The other couple were friendly, quiet and also out most of the time. Would def stay again without hesitation.

A little tricky to find, so take careful note of the address and check the map beforehand, but worth the effort as it is an absolute gem. Also there are at least two excellent restaurants right beside it - there may be more, but I only stayed long enough to sample two!

Beautiful place right in the center. I loved the old doors, gate and stairways to the apartment. It was the perfect authentic Italian experience. Inside was modern with lovely decor. Rainfall shower was a treat. Espresso machine, snacks and water were provided. Alfredo was extremely nice and helpful.

The property is located in a fantastic area of Salerno, on a narrow passageway. The entry is wonderful and timeless. We had the two-bedroom apartment to ourselves, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Very nice room with some rustic charm that goes well in this 800 year old building. Alfredo was a great host and helped us make the most of our stay in Salerno. After the hustle and bustle of Roma and Fireze , Salerno was relaxing and beautiful.

Highly recommend!
We loved this B&B! The host was wonderful, meeting us in the street, helping us find parking, carrying a suitcase and explaining everything about the area. If you like a sweet breakfast, they bring you fresh local cakes and pastries every morning - delicious! There is also an espresso machine (so good) in the shared kitchen, so you're not at the mercy of your host to beg for more coffee in the morning. The outside of the building is a bit worrisome at first, but the inside of the apartment is lovely - and the building is 700 years so it has character. It's right in the middle of the main restaurant/shopping district and a 10-minute walk to both ferries (Amalfi and Capri Islands), so location is brilliant. Parking is a nightmare if you drive, but that's just the nature of Salerno. The rooms were clean, shower had awesome pressure, the bed was decent - although we're not fans of the firm, memory foam mattress. AC worked perfectly. Overall, a fabulous experience and we would highly recommend!!

Bello...ma casereccio...
Struttura confortevole, in pieno centro storico. Il problema è che il parcheggio (incluso nelle mie ricerche e incluso nella loro scheda) sia esterno e a pagamento, la colazione comprende 1 bevanda e 1 pasta all'esterno in un bar (se volete altro dovrete pagarlo a spese vostre). La camera è come ho detto confortevole e si hanno a disposizione molti locali nei paraggi da visitare e da degustare.
