Barone Bed and Breakfast

We had the best time here. If you want to stay in a typical Italian place this is the one!

Bnb Barone has been a great choice. It is close to the sea promenade and to many amenities including restaurants, pharmacy and hairdresser. The owner, Enzo is super helpful and provided required info to move around the city. Water is available at a small fee (which is super handy) and room has efficient Air conditioning system. Great choice. Room is spacious and very well litten. Cleaning is impeccable. The building is very impressive.

Old world building quiet well located in Salerno. Room was spacious with a nice outlook over the harbour. Whilst most rooms have an ensuite bathroom, I mistakenly booked a room with an external bathroom. The owner was helpful in recommending restaurants around town. Surprised that breakfast was not included.

Historic building and on the 5th floor so a great view over harbour or town, both very attractive . The hosts are very friendly and the place is spotless. Coffee and croisant for breakfast and we were off to explore this interesting city. An idea stop on the way to amalfi coast .

We were not going to write a review. We were just going to count it as “it is what it is” situation but after the morning of our departure we decided if a previous guest had the experience we did we would want to know that information and make an informed decision based on that shared situation. The day before we were to arrive we received a message asking what time we would arrive. We let him know our plane was to land at 7pm and we would be there around 8pm. As we were getting ready to board our plane an announcement was made that the flight would leave an hour late. I immediately sent him a message with that information, no response. An hour later another announcement was made stating it would be delayed an additional 1 and 1/2 hours. I again sent a message, no response. Once we finally landed I received a message stating “check in ends at 9” I wrote back apologizing for the flights delays (although not our fault) and saying we would get there as soon as we possibly could, no response. Unsure of what to do my husband called him, apologizing again and saying we were doing everything we could to get there. He said “if you were staying less days I would cancel your reservation, make you fight it with ******* and you would have to figure out somewhere else to stay” Wow. We were quite shocked as the delays were beyond our control and we notified him as soon as we found out there would be a delay. He said he would wait “because it was worth it to him as we had 4 days booked” he also told us to get a taxi from the central station and not to walk as he “did not want to wait for us”. We walked outside and it was a ghost town. We tried to order a taxi on ItTaxi and call a company, both said the car would be over an hour. We called him again to update him and he said there should be taxis there, but there weren’t. We were finally able to get one who was dropping someone else off. We arrived, again apologizing and he let us in. Everything seemed ok… The day before we were to leave he told us there was a city tax of 12 “dollars” and card was also “accepted” but “cash was preferred” we thought no problem we have both. The morning of we had to leave by 8am to catch our train. We walked out to thank his sister (she makes the “breakfast”) and handed her the 12 dollars (American money) she started yelling and said it had to be in Euros, we said we didn’t have any Euros so we will use card because he said that was also acceptable. She yelled at us and said no only cash Euros and we had to go find a bank. For the next hour we ran around trying to find a bank or atm but nothing was open. We asked locals who had their shops open and they all told us nothing opened until 830 or 9. We went back and relayed our findings and asked to pay via card as he said that was also an acceptable payment. She started yelling at us again and said she would call her brother. He answered and said paying by card was fine. My husband paid and she literally tried to push him out to the

Our stay at Barone B&B was amazing, Vincenzo was an amazing host, very nice, helpful and provided information (and history) of Salerno and its surroundings.

Our stay was fine but as this was the only location that did not offer is our breakfast as we paid for. We were denied even sitting at the kitchen table in the morning to have our coffee that we purchased. We also asked for a napkin and we told no. The morning lady was extremely rude and was not polite there excuse was COVID restrictions Scolded us even for using the lift and always had something to say. Very disappointed.
