budget sleep and atmosphere: "The REAL Deal" by Cindyboo
written: 30 November 2005 last time there: October 2005
We ended up in Salerno because of a last minute decision + a budget B&B was reccommended to us by some other travelers we ran into. We loved both the city and the B&B. "My Salerno Apartment" was really comfortable and the english host was a huge help with local reccomendations and transit. We felt really at home there. Salerno's food was great (and cheap - we ate near the B&B one night: 2 spagetti dinners with 'vino della casa' - less than 11euros total!)... we did all the tourist stuff around the coast but at the end of the day preffered Salerno as there was less tourism pushyness and it seemed more authentic. We had no problems there and everyone was really nice there & we felt safe (unlike Naples). We were surprised as someone referred to Salerno as 'little Naples' and that just was so far from the truth! Salerno also has a condensed area of restaurants and nightlife which was really great.
Pros: cheap, great nightlife, central to all attractions
Cons: nothing worth mentioning
Details: by train -less than 3 hours from Rome Termini station (or 1hr from Naples), then 10 min. by bus to the B&B www.mysalernoapartment.com
