Description
The B&B Sinforosa offers a comfortable and easily accessible environment, near the central Piazza San Francesco, not far from the Salerno Centro highway entrance.
In an architectural context from the 1930s, the B&B Sinforosa has spacious and bright rooms, equipped with all the comforts to make your stay simple and enjoyable (private bathroom, air conditioning, mini fridge, wifi).
Bed linen is changed every three days.
For those with a car or motorcycle, it is possible to park the vehicle in a nearby affiliated garage for a fee.
Thanks to its central location, it is easy to reach many of the city's major cultural and historical sites on foot in just a few minutes (the Cathedral with its crypt, many ancient churches, the Didactic Museum of the Salerno Medical School, the Diocesan Museum, the Archaeological Museum, the Provincial Art Gallery, and the Minerva Gardens). Additionally, within a few minutes, you can reach the characteristic promenade areas of the city: on one side, Via dei Mercanti and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, as well as Via Roma with its characteristic establishments; while on the other side, you can reach Pinocchio Park and further up, Seminario Park.
Just a few steps from the property, you will also find the Teatro del Giullare and the centrally located Apollo cinema, as well as many other commercial activities along Via del Carmine.
The B&B Sinforosa is located in the immediate vicinity of the highway exit, and the train and maritime stations are easily accessible on foot.
A few meters from the B&B, you will find the main bus stops and the "Via Duomo" stop of the Light Metro, which will allow you to reach Naples and directly connect to the Naples metropolitan network.
The location of the B&B Sinforosa allows you to enjoy city events that take place in the central area (such as the Crocefisso Ritrovato, the Mostra della Minerva, Luci d'Artista, Notte Bianca, etc.) as you will be just a few steps away from the epicenters of these events.

Hey from Francesco

As a long-time lover of the sea and its history, I attended the nautical institute and pursued a degree in Spanish language and literature. In fact, my thesis focused on the history of piracy in the Mediterranean and was based on the translation of essays in Spanish.
Like all cheerful individuals, I have a deep affection for my homeland and the southern region, as well as for friendship and conviviality. I have turned these characteristics into my profession by converting some rooms in my grandparents' apartment into tourist accommodations. In doing so, I strive daily to maintain and transmit the bond between family traditions and openness to new personal and cultural knowledge.
My hospitality will always be a gathering place.
In 2013, I co-founded the A.S.E.A.S. (Association of Extra Hotel Accommodations in Salerno) with other young B&B owners from Salerno. Our aim is to promote the region and enhance services and hospitality for travelers.

Thank you for your kindness. I am very comfortable during my stay. Everything is in the room. For example, toilet, towel, table, various mirror. And there is very delicious Italy coffee. The host made me coffee in the morning for me. It pleased the beginning of the day. So I recommend to his accommodation and really really hope to come back next time.

B&B Sinforosa located in a historic building just a few hundred meters from the historic center and the seafront, easily reachable on foot without having to take public transport or the car, which can be eventually left in the convenient paid parking lot located nearby the structure. Spacious room, furnished in a traditional way, clean and equipped with all comforts. A special thanks to Francesco who welcomed us with kindness, sympathy, and availability. Absolutely recommended!

The B&B Sinforosa was a stroke of luck for me. Francesco and his whole family are extremely friendly and always helpful. I felt like among friends from the first second, very welcomed and absolutely at home. If I come back to Salerno, I will only stay at the B&B Sinforosa. Thank you very much.

The location is really great - someone like me who had never been to Salerno, had no trouble reaching the center. The room is very spacious and clean, equipped with every comfort (air conditioning, microwave, very spacious fridge). The staff is kind, which is not always a given these days - very helpful. Highly recommended!
