Casa Miriam B

Description from the manager

Casa Miriam B is a bright apartment that is part of a villa surrounded by a lemon and orange garden. It sleeps four people. It is appoximately 45 square meters (485 square feet). It features a shared garden, a reserved outdoor area, air conditioning (please read description below to check in which rooms the units are installed), winter heating and WI-FI Internet access.

You will be roughly 1.5 km (one mile) from the center of Sorrento , where you will find restaurants, the shops and public transportation. You will find the closest restaurant a few meters (feet) away, a grocery store at 500 meters (550 yards), the stop for SITA bus Sorre...nto - Massa Lubrense - Nerano line at 20 meters (65 feet) and the closest beach at roughly 700 meters (770 yards).

Casa Miriam B is located on the mezzanine floor. You will reach it from the garden going up a flight of stairs (approximately 7 steps).

You will not need a car to stay at Casa Miriam B. If you do have one, you will be able to park it on the premises, in a reserved parking space.

The Miriam apartments are part of an old country house and is surrounded by an orchard. The complex is on the road which links Sorrento and Massa Lubrense and it is near the antique walkway that takes you to the Capo di Sorrento and the famous rocky beach known as “Bagni della Regina Giovanna”.

You can reach the beach on foot by following an antique walkway paved in stone and that winds between cultivated terraced olive groves which descend towards the sea. This is a walk not to miss: you go down this shaded path that has been dug out of the stone walls and you enter into a forgotten dimension, without traffic or noise. At the last bend you are taken by surprise by the dazzling view of the coast and the sea. You have arrived at the Capo di Sorrento which is the headline that separates the Bay of Sorrento from the smaller Bay of Marina di Puolo . Your glance takes in, on the side, the charming Bay of Sorrento and to the front, the Gulf of Naples with the Vesuvius in the centre. It is setting of such extraordinary beauty that it will stay forever in your heart.

From the path on the headland sheer above the sea you can see the famous ruins of the roman villa of Pollio Felice. This place was chosen by the Romans to build their sumptuous holiday homes due to its beauty and mild climate. Pollio Felice house had its own private berth and a small pool of water enclosed by rocks and connected to the sea by a cleft in the rock. Here the matron Romans could have a swim far away from watching eyes. In more recent times, at the end of the 1400s, Queen Giovanna d’Angio loved to take a dip and it is for this reason that this small suggestive bay is still known today as the “Bagni della Regina Giovanna”.

There is a pathway that starts from the headland where there are the ruins of the roman villa which takes you to a bathing establishment. Here you can enjoy swimming in crystal clear water and diving from the rocks but it is important to be able to swim otherwise it is dangerous. From here, on foot, you can reach the coarse, gravelly beach of Marina di Puolo. It can also be easily reached by car from Casa Miriam.

The garden is 2000 square meters (21500 square feet) large. It is partly shaded by tall olive and lemon trees and by a perfumed pergola. It is equipped with tables and chairs. Here you will also find a portable barbecue and a wood-fired pizza oven. The garden is shared with the other guests staying at the complex, and there will be an area reserved for your exclusive use.

The furnishings of the living room are simple and comfortable. The furnishings include two armchairs and a divan that unfolds into a double bed. In the living room you will also find a cooking area. The kitchenette is equipped with a two-burner electric cooker, a small refrigerator with freezer, a microwave oven and an Italian-style coffee-maker. The dining table can accommodate four guests. In this room you will find a satellite television and a CD player. The room has a window with a view of the garden. It is equipped with an air conditioning/heating unit.

You will be able to enter the bedroom from the living room. It has a matrimonial bed (160 cm/62 inches, wider than a queen-size bed). The room has a window with a view of the garden. The bedroom is equipped with an air conditioning/heating unit.

The bathroom is equipped with a washbasin, a toilet, a shower and a hairdryer. You will be able to enter the bathroom from the living room.

  Wonderful place, lousy public transport

  Casa Miriam B was wonderfully located, equipped and taken care of. Minimarket around the corner that provided daily fresh bread and all other basic alimentary. Wonder how superb Miriam would be in the summer - we were there during our christmas new year vacation.
  Public transport (we don't have a car) to and from Sorrento centet was untrustworthy. Fortunately the distance could be walked but in precarious conditions.

  Clean & friendly with beautiful relaxing surroundings.

  Miriam is a very nice friendly woman who is extremely obliging. The apartment was lovely and clean and the gardens were beautiful. It was so nice to sit there with a glass of wine in the evenings, totally relaxed. There is a great little restaurant just beside the apartments that do fantastic cheap pizzas. The thing i didn't like is Casa Miriam is on a busy road. Sorrento itself is beautiful and the bus terminus is right outside the gate. You can get a day ticket in the local shop for Sorrento, Pompeii or Amalfi. Plenty of places to eat and drink for a reasonable price in Sorrento. I will go back again, i really enjoyed my holiday.
