Hello! Can anyone point me to a really good Sorrento hotel, B&B, or apartment rental that's in walking distance to a bus stop (and the beach if possible!) and has great views? I'm hoping to keep it around $200 usd per nt, but a little over is fine for the right place! Thanks so much!!

Hi Cristina! Last February we stayed at this wonderful place, "Villa Monica B&B" ... I highly recommend it even though it doesn't match all your requirements as it's not at a walking distance of the beach, as a matter of fact is above Sorrento but wow!! What a wonderful view!!
The owner pasquale, offers a shuttle service that makes going back and forth extremely easy and enjoyable with his fun stories and wonderful restaurant recommendations. The rooms are pretty, super clean, breakfast delicious, amazing views, no expensive at all and the host makes you feel like you're home.
You could check it out on tripadvisor, everything said there is so true!
Hope you can find this post useful, happy travels!

my one and only choice for the past 8 years in Sorrento is Hotel il Nido. check out the web site to get a look. no, it's not in town but rather on the hill above. they have free shuttle service to town and it's right on the main bus line.

Here are a couple hotels from our Italy guidebook that might help. Keep in mind that rooms with views will probably be a little more expensive.
[$$$] Hotel La Tonnarella is an old-time Sorrentine villa turned boutique hotel, with several terraces, stylish tiles, and indifferent service. Eighteen of its 24 rooms have views of the sea (non-view Db-€140, “superior” sea-view or balcony Db-€180, “deluxe” Db with view terrace-€205, exotic view suite with terrace-€320, email or check website for best rates, extra bed-€30, €30/person half-pension available, air-con, guest computer, free Wi-Fi, no elevator in building, parking-€5/day, small beach with private elevator access, closed Nov-March, Via Capo 31, tel. 081-878-1153, www.latonnarella.it, info@latonnarella.it).
[$$] Albergo Settimo Cielo (“Seventh Heaven”) is an old-fashioned, family-run cliff-hanger sitting 300 steps above Marina Grande. The reception is just off the waterfront side of the road, and the elevator passes down through four floors with 50 clean but spartan rooms--all with grand views, and many with balconies. The rooms feel dated for the price--you’re paying for the views (Sb-€120, Db-€140, Tb-€180, Qb-€215, check website for specials, mention this book for 5 percent discount on these rates when reserving direct, air-con in summer, guest computer, free Wi-Fi, free parking with this book, inviting pool in the summer, sun terrace, closed Nov-March, Via Capo 27, tel. 081-878-1012, www.hotelsettimocielo.com, info@hotelsettimocielo.com; Giuseppe, sons Stefano and Massimo, and daughter Serena).
