We are traveling from Naples airport to B&B Maison Art in Sorrento. Can you please provide recommendations. The most convenient to walking to hotel and shortest time. Thank you!

These are the range of options your B&B provides on their website:

Your accommodation is smack in the middle of town, on the west side of Piazza Tasso. Unless you have a lot of baggage, it won't be a difficult walk from the Circumvesuviana train station (the only station in central Sorrento.) We stayed about a block away at Hotel Antiche Mura and didn't think it was a tough walk all. You'll head down Corso Italia - the town's main street - to the piazza and all the way through to the far side.
Best to reference a map before you go.
Best door-to-door but most expensive method from airport to B&B is by private driver or taxi. Expect to pay 120 - 140 euros.
2nd most painless (and very inexpensive) way is by Curreri bus; it travels direct from airport to the Sorrento train station without the need to transfer in between. Walk from the station. Trip estimates to take 1 hour, 30 minutes, depending on traffic, which can be very heavy. Tickets cost 10€ pp. I will note that I'm not seeing bookable times beyond this week and don't know if that's glitch; will check again later.

You may also take a cab to the port, a high-speed ferry to Sorrento, and an elevator to the upper part of town; walk from there. I wouldn't do it if the weather is foul, and ferry times/frequency vary with season.

Lastly would be bus or cab to Garibaldi Station (next to Napoli Centrale) and Circumvesuviana commuter train to Sorrento. It's a battered, no-frills thing with no air conditioning but is cheap, makes frequent runs, avoids any road backups, and gets the job done. You want to keep a tight rein on your valuables but the vast majority of riders riders do fine. Tickets must be validated before boarding. Heat may not be a factor depending on what times of year you'll be traveling.

There is a seasonal (April>October) express commuter train from Garibaldi that makes fewer stops, costs a little more, and has air but only makes 4 runs a day so you could end up kicking heels in Naples for a good while waiting for the next one.
