Area city center
The Bed and Breakfast Porta Catena is located in the heart of the historic center (restricted traffic area) close to Salerno's seafront, the Municipal Administration, the Provincial Administration, the Court, the train station, the sea metro, the beach, Villa Comunale, Via dei Mercanti, the Cathedral, and the lively nightlife.

The area is peaceful, and there are large parking lots nearby with opportunities for shopping, concerts, art exhibitions, and all without the use of a car.

It is also very convenient for those without a car, as the B&B is centrally located with respect to the city and all the major cultural/natural attractions (Pompeii, Paestum, Amalfi Coast, Cilento, Capri, Ischia, Vesuvius, etc.). With public transportation (trains, trams, buses, ferries, and sea metro), you can easily and quickly reach these places.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 answer from the host:
Gentile Mariacristina noi accettiamo tutti i tipi di pagamento mi fa strano questa osservazione d’altronde non c’è mai stata un interesse di contattare il sottoscritto. Per quanto riguarda il resto, mia mamma è meravigliata di tutto ciò, in primis per i complimenti da lei fatti sulla posizione della struttura, per gli ottimi consigli su dove mangiare qualcosina di buono e inoltre si era creato anche una bella sinergia, le aveva anche comunicato che partiva per la Sicilia a trovare le nipotine. È proprio per questo motivo vorrebbe sapere se è successo qualcosa durante la sua assenza. Inoltre ricordo che siamo l’unico b&b che non fa pagare il singolo per intero (x2 pp). In attesa di un suo riscontro le porgo i miei più cordiali saluti. Nicholas

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.

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.
