Search hotels in Salerno

Italians can be very rude and arrogant there and it's all about making money ALL THE TIME in any way they can. Prices are double than everywhere else little markets everywhere all overly priced for tired tourists. BUco Bar is OK and fairly friendly but train station has numbers to take for information and a lot of people lined up to ask question to Trenitalia. very bad experience with trains. their own people give you different information .v ery frustrating.

After doing some research we chose Salerno as a base to explore Amalfi coast. It is much more affordable than Positano and Amalfi town for accommodation and dining. Both of those destinations are an easy and enjoyable ferry ride away. If you are short on time you could do both in one day, we did them on separate days so as to have time for beach, picnic, and exploring in each place. There are some good restaurants and nice shopping in Salerno itself also the old part of town is worth exploring with narrow laneways and character buildings, plus the Cathedral.

Definitely worth visiting. It's a port and a working city, much better value than much of the Amalfi coast. old town very unspoilt. Excellent restaurants, particularly away from the the main road Via Roma. 30 minutes by train from Naples.

Fantastic base to use when visiting the various towns on the Amulfi Coast (Positano, Amulfi etc) with numerous ferries arriving and departing from the ferry and main harbour (two different harbours in Salerno) throughout the course of the day (in season that is).

Salerno was a pretty city and was not overrun by tourists. It was a city for the inhabitants and it had a good feeling about it. The old market street was lovely to walk along, as was the promenade along the water. The train line allowed for easy connections to Naples, Rome, Paestum and further south. The proximity to so many ferries was good for day trips. There was also the bus stop near the ferries that allowed travel to other parts of Italy.

I absolutely loved how welcoming the host was — they helped us throughout our stay and even turned into our personal tour guide! They shared so many useful tips that really helped us plan our trip better. The kitchen was so well-equipped, making it super easy to prepare a nice breakfast every morning. The room itself was cute, spacious, and beautifully done. Plus, the location is perfect — easily accessible and very close to the ferry port for Amalfi, Capri, and Positano. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable stay and warm hospitality!
