We wanted at least a solid day to relax in a smaller town away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the bigger Italian cities that we would also be visiting! I wanted to meet and experience locals who actually lived a quieter, more relaxed Italian lifestyle! I got what I wanted here! The Cottage B&B is not big city “fancy,” but it was very clean, the host was very friendly and helpful, the little outside patio was great for reading and relaxing, and the little neighborhood village square of Monticcio was a super easy, very close and flat walk from the Cottage B&B! In our mid 70’s, we weren’t sure how we would actually be able to navigate the area which is located high up in the hills! The neighborhood square of Monticcio turned out to be no more than an easy 5 minute walk, and lead us to some good gelato, and several options for local restaurants. In fact, we ate twice at what might have been our favorite restaurant on this trip, Yago! And to find a restaurant of this quality in this quiet, little town, was a such an amazing surprise! We navigated this trip to Italy without renting a car, and stayed here for just 2 nights at the tail end of our trip, so I cannot review how this location would work as a base for actually exploring the Sorrento and Amalfi area, but we certainly enjoyed our stay at IL Cottage B& B given the goal we had set for enjoying a quiet, relaxing respite before we headed home! Thank you Giuseppe for your very friendly welcome and hospitality!
