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!

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.

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.

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.
