Casa Astarita B&B

€€

Sisters Rita and Annamaria Astarita have turned a rambling apartment a block past Sorrento's cathedral into a tiny B&B mixing old-fashioned style and modern appointments with a personal touch. "This is our family palazzo," says Rita in a smoke-laden rumble as she joins her guests for a communal breakfast of cakes, croissants, sliced cheeses, fresh fruit, and yogurt. "Our grandfather still lives across the hall!"...

Relais Correale Rooms & Garden

€€€

A country house in downtown Sorrento? That's what you get here, just four large, light-filled rooms with colorfully tiled floors set amid two acres of citrus groves, just around the corner from the Museo Correale, a five-minute stroll from the train staiton and Amalfi Coast bus temrinal, ten minutes from Piazza Tasso...

Palazzo Marziale

€€€

In the heart of Sorrento, just across from the Cloister of San Francesco and the elevators down to the beach, the Marziale has just 10 gorgeous rooms converted from a Catalan-Durazzo palazzo that once belonged to local nobility. A bit pricey for a B&B (sometime rising above €200 in high season), the rates plunge as low as €80 in late fall. (Closed Dec-Apr)...

How much does a B&B in Sorrento cost?

Expect to pay anywhere from €70 to €140 for a double room at a typical B&B—though rates can start as low as €49.

To put that in perspective, B&Bs are usually anywhere from 5% to 40% cheaper than hotels in the same neighborhood. Plus, don't forget you're getting breakfast out of the deal (not to mention—usually—that small, cozy, welcoming atmosphere).

What is a Sorrento B&B like?

An Italian bed and breakfast essentially works something like a small hotel that provides breakfast and is located in the owner's home (or at least an a converted apartment in their building). The size is limited to no more than 3–4 rooms or 6–8 beds total.

This usually means a cozy, welcoming, friendly place with a bit more interaction with your hosts than at a hotel.

Note that there's a thin line (often just which set of local standards, requirements, and legal complications the owner wants to deal with) between what's called a B&B and what's called affittacamere (rental rooms).
