B&B La Maison du Paradis

The apartment was spotless and comfortable, with extra pillows and towels, and it was cleaned and replenished during our stay. We were also welcomed with fresh oranges, a simple electric juicer, a large fridge, coffee maker, yogurt, milk, pastries, bottled water and more. Pasquale helped us with our big bags when we arrived. We’d never been to Salerno before, but Pasquale and Guisy made us feel at home. He knows a lot about restaurants, ferries, nearby towns, transport and local history. When I lost my phone, he even got in touch with the person who found it and helped me get it back. The setting is hard to beat. La Maison du Paradis is on a lively street near restaurants, a park and a friendly gelato shop. The Lungamare promenade is about a direct six-minute walk, or ten if you’re American. From the rear entrance there are little cobbled lanes, bakeries, flower shops and greengrocers, with an ornate cathedral and bell tower just steps away. The third-floor apartment has an elevator and three Juliet balconies with lovely views. My daughter and I had a perfect stay. Pasquale would give you the sky if he could. Dolce Vita! Five stars, and we definitely recommend it.

We only booked three nights, which we regretted. It’s a welcoming, comfortable apartment in a beautiful old building that used to be a palace, and the decor is tasteful. There’s everything you need, with great restaurants close by and a handy base for Salerno and the Amalfi coast. Pasquale was an attentive host who knew the area well and gave us plenty of useful tips on sights, food and places to visit. We’ll certainly come back, and I highly recommend La maison du Paradis as a place to stay in Salerno.

Pasquale really helped make our time in Salerno comfortable and interesting. He knows the area, got us oriented, suggested places to see and explained how to get around. He even helped with our luggage, which I especially appreciated. We loved staying here.

We found the apartment comfortable and spotless, and the bed was good too. The hosts left oranges for juicing, yogurt, milk, coffee, water and pastries, which was a lovely treat. They also kept in touch during the week to check that we had what we needed. It’s in the heart of Salerno, one block from the waterfront promenade, near the old part of town, and roughly a 15-20 minute walk from both the train station and ferry terminal. At check-in, the host met us and took time to suggest places to visit and eat. I’d happily recommend this apartment, and we hope to return next year.
