We felt at home from the very first moment we arrived. Pier and Maria are extremely friendly! Location is perfect and the breakfast... amazing! Would recommend.

I enjoyed my stay at La Carpinella. Pier was a very helpful host, replying quickly to my queries and providing useful information on reaching Portonovo. He also went out of his way to help me explore the beautiful Parco del Conero, providing both maps and transport. He helped to arrange my transport to the airport for an early flight. The breakfasts were delicious, with fresh fruit and warm breads. Thank you.

Highly recommended. The host, Per Giorgio, was extremely generous. We were traveling in the off-season without a car, when local buses and services turned out to be limited, and he kindly gave us rides to the beach and the bus stop, and one day even made us sandwiches for lunch at no charge when the local cafe was closed. He serves a delicious light breakfast on a terrace: fruit, pastry, bread with homemade jams. We rented the large room with the private terrace. The room was plain but comfortable and clean, and the views of sea and mountains from the terrace were beautiful. You can walk to a good seafood restaurant, a pizzeria, and the rocky town beach in just a few minutes. Nearby sandy Mezzavalle Beach must be one of the most beautiful in the world. The trailhead to reach it is 3 km away uphill; then you have to walk down a very steep clay path, but it's worth it.

Our stay at the BnB La Carpinella was wonderful. The hosts are very helpful and accommodating. The location of the accommodation is optimal. Close to the sea yet away from the hustle and bustle. The only downside to the place for a family is that there is no grocery store.

One of the few private houses in Portonovo built in the 1960s from Conero stone and with a truly commendable respect for the places (i.e. absolutely not comparable to the terrible building atrocities of other, albeit magnificent, Italian seaside resorts). And, precisely for all this, the villa enjoys an exceptional, unique, unrepeatable position, nestled as it is within the Conero Park and just steps from the sea. The Mediterranean scrub that envelops the house greatly mitigates temperatures so that there is no need to turn on the air conditioning. Absolute silence (the cicadas reign supreme). Exemplary discretion on the part of the owners. What more could you want?

The answer from the host:
Grazie Erica e Michele per la vostra valutazione, non così generosa come molte altre ma comunque positiva. Valutazioni analoghe per rapporto qualità/prezzo e colazione sono rarissime, e confesso mi dispiace avvenga per la colazione che -dico sempre- è una delle 2 cose imprescindibili nel b&b. Ci può stare che in un momento particolare ci sia sfuggito qualche dettaglio, che in genere cerchiamo di curare a dovere. Se avremo una seconda occasione, non sarà sprecata! Saluti.

Pleasant and very welcoming structure equipped with all the necessary services for the comfort of the tourist, not to mention the hospitality and availability of the owner that complete the quality of the structure. Absolutely recommended.

I have known Carpinella for a long time and I keep returning. The enchanting location, the independent rooms, the care of the place, the friendliness of Piergiorgio and his wife, the attention to guests' requests make it a unique place. I recommend it without any doubt.

Great structure: very convenient location for reaching the beaches and restaurants on foot, quiet environment. Rooms with the essentials, comfortable and clean. The owners are very kind and helpful. Breakfast in the company of other guests is very pleasant, with excellent quality products and fresh fruit. We can't wait to return in the future!

We spent four very pleasant days in this B&B in Portonovo, surrounded by greenery and in an excellent location to reach all the beaches and restaurants in the area on foot. The only point: the shower is a bit small and it would be useful to have a mosquito net (although fortunately, at least at the end of June, there were very few mosquitoes); otherwise, everything was very good, pleasant and relaxing.

stayed from 06/22/2025 to 06/26/2025

The answer from the host:
Grazie Francesca, avete ragione che ci sono poche zanzare ma qualcuna ancora sfugge ai controlli...Per la doccia in quel bagno possiamo fare poco, per fortuna negli altri siamo riusciti a tenerci più larghi! Grazie ancora per indicazioni e valutazioni, saluti.

It is a stone's throw from the beach while being sheltered by the pine forest in which it is located. You sleep well, the place is nice and well-kept, Mediterranean breakfast is served on a stone table outdoors. Recommended, especially for couples or singles.

I was looking for a quiet place in a seaside location to celebrate my husband's birthday. By chance, I found Carpinella and booked! We were welcomed by Piergiorgio who showed us to our accommodation! The place is enchanting! The courtesy and kindness of the managers is priceless! The breakfast is excellent! We will return.

The structure is just a few dozen meters from the sea but situated in the middle of nature and the greenery of the park. The room with sea view and large terrace is really pleasant. Parking included and inside, which is really useful and convenient in Portonovo. The managers are kind and welcoming. Good cleanliness. I would come back.

alberto

In Portonovo, at the foot of Mount Conero, you can find B&B La Carpinella. A place in the middle of nature that predisposes to tranquility and serenity where you can relax and feel good, "slowly". Family management, hospitality, care, kindness, and availability. Excellent breakfast!

The answer from the host:
Grazie Beatrice per la recensione, sappiamo di essere "avvantaggiati" nella posizione e riteniamo che la bellezza della nostra struttura sia tanto nel contesto naturale come negli aspetti estetici del fabbricato. Puoi indicarci a cosa è dovuto il voto "di sufficienza" a questa voce? Qualcosa che non avete apprezzato nella camera forse? Grazie ancora, saluti.

alice

A charming place immersed in the nature of Conero. We stayed with our children. The youngest is only 2 months old and it wasn't easy to find a place that would allow us to have a peaceful vacation, exploring wonderful places together with her. Thanks to La Carpinella we succeeded! The bed and breakfast is indeed in a splendid location, just a few steps from the numerous beaches and restaurants of Portonovo. We also appreciated the hospitality and welcome of Piergiorgio and Marietta who pampered us every morning with delicious breakfasts, prepared by them with quality products. What can I say, we couldn't ask for more! See you soon!

We thank Mr. Piergiorgio for his kindness and for the wonderful stay we had during our week of vacation. The accommodation is marvelous, surrounded by greenery and in complete tranquility, as well as a stone's throw from the sea. The courtesy of the owners is the added value of this fantastic experience.

Grazie Chiara e Davide per aver apprezzato struttura e formula, arrivederci sul Conero o sui laghi del bresciano!

luciana

More than a positive experience thanks to the location of the structure very close to the sea and at the same time far from the confusion as it is immersed in the Mediterranean scrub. Having breakfast outdoors with genuine products around a large table and chatting with other guests and with the manager, Mr. Piergiorgio, always very kind and helpful, certainly makes the day start well. Furthermore, once arrived, you can forget the car and reach both the beaches and the restaurants on foot. We recommend it to all those who want a holiday in direct contact with nature.

The 3-night stay at La Carpinella turned out to be one of those rare cases where expectations were exceeded by reality. The comfortable and clean rooms, the location of the property surrounded by greenery just steps from the beach, the fair prices, the tranquility and silence that can be felt, the abundant genuine and organic breakfasts, the discretion, the kindness, and the availability of the hosts make it the ideal place for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday in one of the most charming and spectacular seaside locations in the Marche region and Italy. Thank you Piergiorgio for your pleasant hospitality 🙏 🙏 🙏.

For years we have been frequenting the Portonovo area but, only last year, we discovered this B&B, what can I say: "love at first sight"! And it was elected our corner of paradise. Starting from the area, it remains in a privileged position, just a stone's throw from the main beaches and restaurants, but secluded, in an oasis of greenery and tranquility. The large family house offers ground floor and upstairs rooms, simple but well-kept and clean. The rooms upstairs offer a beautiful terrace with sea view. Breakfasts that are served in the park when the weather is nice, are truly delicious and genuine. Piergiorgio the manager, affable and discreet, with whom we had the opportunity to have pleasant conversations, is very attentive to homemade products (homemade cakes and jams) and healthy (apple and ginger juice always present) coffee made with the Moka, creams of dried fruit, fresh fruit, bread with ancient grain flours, in short, a morning start that delights and satisfies. Highly recommended for those who want to spend moments of relaxation and enjoy this beautiful bay.

Environment located in the middle of the Mediterranean forest, where the noises are only natural ones like the wind and the birds singing. The sea, wonderful, is reachable on foot in a few minutes. The owners are more than hospitable. Healthy and abundant breakfast. In this place a bit out of the frantic world, I didn't find a single negative thing.

Grazie Daniela, abbiamo iniziato la stagione col piede giusto. Condivido pienamente la definizione "luogo un po' fuori dal mondo frenetico", ci impegnamo a mantenerlo tale.

I stayed here with my sister and we recommend this property for the welcoming hosts, especially Giorgio, who prepared delicious breakfasts for us with courtesy and discretion. We appreciated the tranquility of the property, secluded in the woods, yet very close to the beaches. The possibility of internal parking is a great convenience. The cleanliness and the quality/price ratio, considering the peak season, have completed the full satisfaction of the holiday. The property is highly recommended.

manola

We stayed in the TOP room and I can say it was worth it. It has a very large terrace with a view of a glimpse of the sea, equipped with sun loungers and a table with chairs. Marietta and Piergiorgio are very hospitable. Breakfast is as described and I found it very good, especially rich in fruit. The sea is a few steps away. We couldn't rent the umbrella with sun loungers because they were all already booked. I recommend arriving equipped with at least some mats for the pebble beach as the beach is pebbly. Wearing rock shoes is also recommended. We had a great time and hope to return.

Fabulous stay, Piergiorgio and Marietta are special and so is the whole surrounding context. You are immersed in the beauties of Conero, you can reach stunning views even without moving by car.

What can I say... A beautiful surprise! A diamond set in the Conero park, in the most beautiful location on the Riviera. 3 minutes from the nearest beach and 15 minutes from the farthest beach in Portonovo. Internal parking at the structure is super strategic. Abundant breakfasts and attention to detail on the table, quality and artisanal products. Room always clean and with a terrace overlooking the sea, spectacular! Referring to the most critical, obviously it is still a B&B and not a 5-star hotel, enjoy your holiday and respect the context (we are inside a Natural Park, immersed in the woods), don't be fussy about small defects. Highly recommended!

stayed from 08/06/2023 to 08/13/2023

The answer from the host:
Grazie Andreas, sono contento che Conero, Portonovo e Carpinella abbiano superato le tue aspettative!! L'osservazione "ai critici", che per fortuna sono mosche bianche, più che pertinente... Buona continuazione!

We stayed at La Carpinella for a week and had a great time, thanks to the friendliness and availability of the owner, Piergiorgio. The breakfast was delicious and, with just a few steps, we were at the beach without having to use the car. The room and the bathroom were always clean. Definitely a place to come back to.

I did not stay at La Carpinella so my review is a bit particular (for example, the rating on breakfast is not therefore reliable but it seems good from what I could see on the website). However, I went to visit the host after contacting him in April and Piergiorgio, very kind, showed me around the B&B to allow me to evaluate it for a future booking. The impression is excellent: simple but well-organized rooms that also have private spaces (terraces or parts of the garden); the location is great and very convenient for the beach (50 meters) and ideal for those who prefer to forget about using the car once they reach the holiday destination. There is the possibility of preparing lunches/dinners independently thanks to a small external kitchenette and in my opinion, this is definitely a plus for a B&B. The property consists of a villa with a fenced garden that always has the owners present. I definitely recommend it.

Great location, close to the beaches, kind manager, good breakfast and if during the week they had made at least one change of towels and cleaned the floor it would be perfect.

stayed from 07/21/2023 to 07/29/2023

The answer from the host:
Salve Claudio e grazie per la recensione. Avrai notato che, per tanti altri ospiti, la pulizia alla Carpinella merita valutazioni molto superiori alla tua. In effetti solo un ospite dello scorso anno ci ha dato 7, tutti gli altri dall'8 in su. Ma tant'è, qualcosa può non aver funzionato, anzi tu stesso indichi cosa, e la chiudiamo qui. A beneficio dei futuri ospiti, chiarisco che come riportato nelle condizioni di soggiorno il cambio completo degli asciugamani avviene a pagamento dietro richiesta. Singoli pezzi vengono cambiati gratuitamente, basta lasciarli a terra. E a terra, almeno a giorni alterni, si passa aspirapolvere o straccio secondo esigenze.

annalisa

We discovered a fabulous Bed and Breakfast just steps from the sea after 20 years of Conero. Piergiorgio and Marieta are friendly people. Better late than never, right? We will be back soon!

Excellent experience from multiple perspectives. Warm and attentive welcome with useful tips on places to visit in the surroundings. Impeccable cleanliness. Carefully prepared breakfasts of which we only left crumbs. We are a couple in our sixties and we were guests of the top room. The location of 'La Carpinella' is simply enchanting. Thanks to Marietta and Piergiorgio.

My husband, my daughter Lidia who is two years old and I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful bed and breakfast for 10 days! Wonderful location, surrounded by greenery just a stone's throw from the sea (essential element in Portonovo and surroundings where finding parking is very complicated and sometimes even reaching the beaches). The apartment has everything you need for a summer vacation, the breakfast is well taken care of, there is always a sweet treat made with love by Marietta and there is never a lack of fresh fruit! An additional bonus is the pleasure of enjoying breakfast with the other guests of the bed and breakfast, as it is served at a "common" table. For those with children like us, but in general for those who enjoy cooking something, everyone has access to the little kitchen where you will find everything you need. Portonovo is beautiful and the surrounding areas are worth a visit. I highly recommend staying in this bed and breakfast, where we immediately felt "at home", a feeling confirmed in the following days also thanks to Pier and Marietta, truly special people! We will definitely come back.

The structure is located in a strategic position that allows you to easily reach all the beaches of Portonovo on foot. There is a reserved parking space within the property. The rooms are spacious and clean. The room 'I Gabbiani' reserved for us had a large sea view terrace with two sun loungers and a small table, useful in case you decide for take-away dinner from one of the local eateries. The presence of a common outdoor kitchen can allow you to cook something if necessary. Breakfast is plentiful and with fresh and healthy products. The owners are very kind and helpful, also assisting us in booking the beach place and allowing us to leave the car parked on their property for a couple of hours after check-out.
