Beautiful authentic setting. Close access to train to travel north to Naples or south to Sorrento and services to explore Amalfi coast, ferries to Capri, Pompei ruins, Vesuvio etc. Lots of stairs but worth the climb to roof top area. Spectacular views. Good size rooms and open common areas.

2/10 Poor

To start with after traveling on coach for an hour and a half to property, when I finally located the place had no access to property for over 20mins as no one was there even though I notified them on Whatsapp I had arrived in Piano. No lifts to carry luggage and the ambience was very disappointing. Had to book another hotel in Naples to spend the night and only spent last night there.

Lovely hotel close to the train station
We loved our stay here, the gardens are beautiful, and make a tranquil oasis after a busy day sightseeing. The hotel is located perfectly: near the train station, and we found a lovely restaurant with views overlooking the harbour and sunset. Perfect base for visiting Herculaneum and Pompeii, and piano Di Sorrento is much quieter than Sorrento. The hotel staff were really helpful and the hotel was lovely and clean . Perfect

Beautiful old Italian building!
I stayed 8 nights here over the Xmas hols and had a warm welcome when I finally found the B&B! I was a bit disappointed in my room but hey, it didn't cost much but mine didn't look like any of the bedrooms on their website! However, it was cleaned etc almost every day and the 'buffet breakfast' was more than ample but mainly consisted of the Italian style one - croissants, brioche and cakes!! However there was also cornflakes and 'Dario' makes a lovely cheese omelette if requested! There was no need to eat lunch! LOL! They were always friendly and cheerful (him and his lovely Dad Giuseppe) yet not at all intrusive! Much better service than in a 5* hotel!

Just the ticket!
It was our first visit to Italy and our stay at The Secret Garden just added to our experience and we were looked after as soon as we arrived (with a refreshing glass of homemade Limoncello) by Dario and his family. The B&B is in ideal location to be able to explore the area and the train station, beach, buses, supermarket and shops are all to hand. There are also plenty of restaurants to eat at - we enjoyed going to the Trattoria Italia, getting an evening gelato at Delle Rose, eating massive pizzas at Pizzeria All'Angolo (close to the B&B/train station) ... we certainly ate well! Now that we're back from our holiday, we've realised just how lucky we were to stay at The Secret Garden and would recommend to others.

Secret Garden
The Secret Garden was a great place to stay. It was very clean. We had a little problem on the 2nd day but it was immediately taken care of, we were moved to another room. I would have loved to have had fresh fruit for breakfast, only thing lacking. Margarhert and Dario were great with assisting with tours and information. I would highly recommend the Secret Gardens for a stay.

A wonderful (and truly secret) B&B...
My partner and I stayed here for 1 week and loved it. Set amidst a beautiful lemon/orange grove, the top floor B&B is in an exquisite old building. Piano itself is lovely too - there are some great little ristorantes for if the travel to Sorrento is too much (although Sorrento itself is amazing and always worth the effort), however be aware that Piano is very residential - so if that's not your thing then staying here might not be for you! The room was huge and in keeping with the rest of the accomodation. The only drawback was that the bathroom was not ensuite and the toilet wasn't the best... Really wasn't the best - in fact one of the most temperamental pieces of plumbing I've ever encountered! However, I'm sure most people wouldn't care as much about this (my OH certainly didn't) and though the staff did offer us to switch rooms, I politely declined as the room itself was great... And I'd already unpacked... The breakfast was tasty and sweet, served buffet-style in a pretty pink room. Again this might not suit everybody, but we enjoyed it. All in all, wonderful welcoming staff and a lovely holiday. I'd recommend The Secret Garden to couples who are after a truly authentic, non-touristy experience, and don't mind a bit of a walk off the beaten track! One tip: print out a map before you travel, because it truly is tucked away out of sight - it took us over an hour to find it!

Peaceful and delightful stay in Piano Di Sorrento
We have just returned from Piano Di Sorrento and were really pleased to have found this delightful bed and breakfast away from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento. The owners have created a really comfortable home from home on the top floor of an 18th century villa surrounded by lemon and orange groves in a walled garden. There is a large lounge, a breakfast room and 7 bedrooms all individually styled. There is free WiFi which I could only get to work in reception. There are 53 steps to climb to get to the front door so the Secret Garden is probably not suitable for anybody with mobility problems. The bed was comfortable, always plenty of hot water in the en-suite and the linen and towels were changed regularly. The breakfast was good for the price we paid. The property is kept very clean although there are some signs of wear and tear in the decor. Its a 6 or 7 minute walk to Piano Di Sorrento railway station which is two stops (5 minutes) from Sorrento for just over 1 euro each way. There are some good restaurants nearby we really liked Bistro Delle Rose and L'Antica Cantina.

Small b and b, basic accommodation.
The secret garden was a nice place to stay and it could not be faulted for the price we paid. However as the weather was bad during our stay we spent more time in the room than we planned. The rooms don't have WiFi and could do with some new beds. The hotel staff however are very friendly and helpful.

Pleasing Autumn stay
We visited from England for a week and were pleased with our experience. We travelled by car and used the nearby car park, and were assigned room 4 off the common lounge. It was not too difficult to find and we arrived in-between the official opening hours of the reception, but this was no problem. Pressing the buzzer gains access initially, after which your set of keys can be used for comings and goings. The building has multiple occupants and this hotel is on the second floor up a spiral staircase. We were greeted by a glass of Limoncello and well spoken English. Our room had a mini balcony with sea view and a separate area (very useful) with an additional single bed, small fridge and tea/coffee facilities along with an air conditioning unit (we didn't use this in November, just opened the full-height windows to the balcony). The double bed was a good size but not the most comfortable (ok for a week) The breakfast selection was toast, ham and omlettes (fresh from their own chickens), a selection of jam/chocolate spread, cereal with hot/cold milk and a selection of sweet options along with your choice of hot/cold drinks.

Very quiet and pleasant place for an enjoyable stay. None of the glitz and impersonal service in Sorrento! Locals very helpful and friendly. A map would make it even easier to reach local attractions such as the harbour and the shops.

Piano di Sorrento more authentic than Sorrento
We had a wonderful time here,just a short & easy train-ride from Sorrento itself. Because we based ourselves here for 6 days, we were able to discover many delights of Piano di Sorrento, which is more authentic (& food is cheaper!) than touristy Sorrento. Restaurants, bars & shops aplenty as well as a free beach! But it can be a confusing maze of little streets, so it is such a pity that we had to search all this out for ourselves - a map of the town would be a great help, especially in initially finding The Secret Garden.

Autumn Break
Small family run B&B in quiet suburb of Sorrento but with excellent transport connections via local railway/ bus network. Comfortable en-suite room and tastefully furnished throughout with character only found in older buildings. Stayed for a week but on a hectic tourist schedule so really only slept and breakfasted at the hotel, we prefer a quieter less organised life and this suited us. Breakfast was a combination of cold egg/ ham and local pastries/ cakes - limited choice but ample to start the day with a selection of coffee/ teas available to order. Hotel style facilities limited but it is a mid-priced B&B so exactly as expected. We walked miles on our visit, local bars and restaurants a bit limited off season but overall a great holiday.

Charming, friendly hotel full of character.
This hotel is outside of Sorrento in a district called Piano di Sorrento. As such, it is tranquil and away from the tourist hubbub. The hotel is well sign posted however you arrive in Piano and the owners couldn't be more helpful and friendly.

A truly authentic experience!
We booked in for 9 days during August. On arriving at Naples airport there is a coach which costs around 5 euros which takes you into the centre of Piano and from there it is about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the hotel. We were very taken with the hotel, hosts and surroundings and we had a corner room which had enchanting views of the mountains and a distant view of the sea. Our hosts were convivial but never intrusive and the hotel itself is set in a quiet but central part of town and set in lovely gardens festoned with lemon trees. Sorrento is a short train ride away if you are looking for the touristy hustle and bustle but Piano itself has some charming restaurants and bars which offered good value for money and great local hospitality and are a 5 to 10 minute walk away from the hotel and we found this useful as the last train back from Sorrento is at around 9.30pm so we felt far from stranded. To sum up we couldnt have enjoyed our stay more the place had real character and we managed to pack in a great deal of sightseeing as the train was in close proximity (Naples is about an hour on the train, Pompeii about 30 mins) and the beach is about a 10 minute walk away. Charming place sad to leave.

Truly a Secret Garden!! The Secrets Out!!!
This hotel is more of a B&B which is situated outside Naples in the nearby town of Piano Di Sorrento! It is a very posh B&B and gives a very focused service as a result, with a nice breakfast room lounge with fresh pastries, cappucinos, coffees and teas and with fresh lemon and orange juice. When I say fresh, I mean picked off the garden tree where lemons and oranges are the fruit of the tree. Another thing to note, Sorrento is a town full of lemons and oranges, so when it is nicknamed Land of Lemons and Oranges, it means exactly that! I found the staff very helpful, lovely and affectionate. Giovanni, a Neopolitan gentleman, was amazing and very helpful indeed. I am only sorry that i didn't learn more Italian than I could have done as he was very engaging. When I arrived in Naples, I had an issue with my lost luggage so checked-in late but Giovanni was understanding. Other staff members were very nice even though I did not get their name. The room I got was the Double Room and was very plush and romantic. Though I was on my own, I felt spoilt and favoured and comfortable. The only thing to say was that since I travelled there in February, the weather was still somewhat cold and heating was sparse in the room. But all else was fine with the hotel. The reception is not manned constantly so if you need anything, its best to try anticipate your needs and inform the staff in the breakfast time, which is 8:30 - 10am. Location to hotel has signs easy to find!

Great for a short stay
It is more a B&B than hotel but a lovely place and really nice and friendly staff. It is has a feel of it being used more by locals than foreigners, perfect for a short stay Great but is needed to be a little better sign posted as it does live up to its name as the secret as the secret garden, a sign at the main door and at the top of the stair well and a note to show where the bell is.
