Excellent location in the historic center and a short walk from the seafront and the main historical attractions. Mrs. Rosa is very helpful and kind. The bathroom in the room is a bit small but clean.

I highly recommend this B&B Porta Catena.

Host was not available at arrival and didn't answer the phone. We tried several times, even with the help of neighbors, to get checked in. At least we managed to get in. The room and the balcony were nice. The breakfast was very bad. Only some prepacked industrial prepared soft spongy bread and croissant. No cheese or ham or tomato.

We had a lovely stay! Would love to come back. Rosa was the sweetest host and very helpful. Definitely recommend this B&B!

Porta Catena is in the 'centro storico' of Salerno, on a quiet street. After check-in, we were provided a key; from that point on, we were able to come and go as we liked. The bathroom was tiny, but that is to be expected in a historic palazzo. The bed was very comfortable and we had a wonderful little balcony that overlooked the piazza below. (It was a bit too chilly to spend much time sitting there, unfortunately.) A plethora of restaurants are a short stroll away and the seafront is nearby. While it's on the opposite end of town from the train station - a good 20-minute walk - frequent buses pass along the main viale a block away. The wi-fi was super-fast. Breakfast was 'serve yourself' of a wide variety of breakfast cereals, yogurt, and packaged cookies and brioche. When we're next in Salerno, we will definitely stay at B&B Porta Catena.

Great experience! We had a great time in this bed and breakfast in the historic center of Salerno. Very nice structure, which allowed us to walk around the historic center and the waterfront comfortably. We will be back.

Central structure in the heart of old Salerno, close to the promenade and with many places to eat or drink. The room is not very large, but equipped with a large wardrobe since there are not many supports for clothes. Very small bathroom but equipped with everything, here too there is not much space to put bath products or make-up. The breakfast offers a lot of choices, but there are no fresh products and you are asked to wash the dishes you use.

I came back for the second time and felt at home, warm and familiar environment. I will definitely come back.

The welcome is beautiful, you feel like in heaven and everything is taken care of in detail. Wonderful!

I was very satisfied with the service.

Our 4-night stay was very good. The room has a private bathroom and a beautiful balcony, perfect for breakfast or enjoying something in the evening. The host, Rosa, is lovely. Very kind and helpful, always making sure we are comfortable in her home. For breakfast, we had coffee, milk, yogurt, cereals, toast, and cookies at our complete disposal, which was very generous and much appreciated. The location is very good, close to the waterfront and one of the ports. The view from the balcony is very nice. I recommend it.

Everything perfect, we will come back.

Very welcoming friendly hosts, beautiful palazzo and rooms. Felt very comfortable there.

We were greeted by the very kind Lady who was helpful and friendly; the room was very beautiful, well-kept, and clean, in a central and lively area. The location is perfect for those who want to visit the city, with the possibility of parking for free in a nearby area. A stone's throw from the seafront and the main areas of interest, with many restaurants and bars nearby. The apartment is well-maintained and equipped with every comfort, with the possibility of using the fridge and having breakfast with the things provided by Mrs. Rosa. Highly recommended for those who want to visit the city and have a lovely space to rest.

Dear Nicholas. First of all, I want to clarify that what I have expressed about my stay is separate from the genuine empathy I felt towards your mother and towards Mrs. Felicetta. Nothing to say about that! Let's distinguish the two aspects: the personal relationship and the "business" relationship. I didn't contact you because, honestly, it didn't come to my mind! I realize now that I was wrong, because indeed, you are the manager. I requested to pay with the debit card both to Mrs. Felicetta (when I paid for my first night) and to your mother (when I paid for the three nights). I didn't think to call you because, at that moment, my interlocutors were the two ladies and I had no other options: I had to and wanted to pay, so I organized myself by going to withdraw cash. When I received the request for a review, it was spontaneous for me to highlight this because, even in my daily life, I always pay by card, even for small expenses; it's a matter of habit. The breakfast, according to my habits, although offering several things, was not as I expect it from a facility that provides it. I hope I have clarified my point of view (which, I understand, is different from yours, considering that we have different roles). Best regards ML.

The welcoming and kind host, cleanliness upon arrival, clean towels and linens. Very well located in the historic center, close to the center, the port, the train station... etc. Small but spacious rooms, equipped kitchen but cooking is prohibited, the ventilation from the bathroom actually went into the room. We had a big surprise when we found out that there is another room in this apartment where a lady member of the family permanently lives with her cat. We were accommodated for 7 nights in this guesthouse and no cleaning was done at all during this time, moreover we were asked to keep the cleanliness ourselves. On the 4th day we were given 2 clean towels upon our request.

Excellent place in the heart of the historical city! The wonderful owner Mme Rosa was more than helpful. Very large room, private bathroom, balcony with a great view.

Good price/quality ratio.

B&B Porta Catena in central area, clean room equipped with everything. Abundant breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff and managers.

Felice (spelling?) was lovely. Nicholas and his mother were helpful and friendly. Generous sweet cakes, yogurt, fruit juice, coffee for breakfast. Thank you.

Great location in the center, availability and courtesy of the manager and Mrs. Felicetta. To repeat.

Good welcome; I felt at home; Mrs. Rosa is very helpful and takes care of the guests! The furnishings are essential but nothing is missing and clean.

Welcomed by Mrs. Rosa, a welcoming, kind and very down to earth person. Close to the Station, a stone's throw from the sea. I recommend it.

Very good! Rosa, the owner, welcomes you with much affection and kindness. The room is very comfortable with a beautiful view and good location, the air conditioning was also very nice. The breakfast is rich and varied and the company of the lady in the morning was also very good. I would definitely repeat and recommend it!

Nice facility with spacious, bright, and comfortable rooms, very kind manager, excellent location in the heart of the historic center of Salerno, an area rich in bars for aperitifs, lunches, and dinners. Very close to bus stops to visit the Amalfi Coast. I had a great time, highly recommended.

Camera grande e molto pulita, posizione ottima e proprietaria gentilissima. Soggiorno favoloso!

Bellissima struttura con camere arredate con amore, mi é piaciuta soprattutto per la posizione e per il bagno in camera che non trovo mai nei B&B. La signora Rosa é molto ospitale e gentile, disponibile per qualsiasi esigenza e molto cordiale. Sono stata benissimo anche perché non ho trovato nessun disagio sia per l acqua calda, sia per il climatizzatore e sia per i canali tv. Ho visitato la città senza prendere mezzi dato che é tutto nelle immediate vicinanze. Una bellissima esperienza e sicuramente ci ritornerò e farò molta pubblicità in giro.
