You won't find better owners than here. On arrival we got a bit lost trying to find the Villa and the owner came looking for us.
They do an Italian taster menu which is amazing.
Very helpful and friendly.
Really nice place to stay, excellent location for visiting the ruins - only a 5 minute walk to the Scavi entrance.
We didn`t eat, other than breakfast, at the villa only due to wanting to explore the area and restaurant's.
Only reason I have given 4 * is because we booked a room with single beds, over 6 months in advance, and was given a room with a double bed.
Fabulous guesthouse..such friendly hosts. An oasis from the heat and bussle of Pompei ruins.
The pool is oerfect to cool off in after a day visiting the ruins..Vesivius etc.
The famous home cooked dinner which can be booked for the evening is delicious.
I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for real Italian hospitality.
Nice stay at the hotel, breakfast was minimal but nice
It included rolls, cereal yoghurt, fresh fruit and juice
A fantastic evening meal was available on requests which was a perfect Italian 5 course meal wan was delicious
There was no welcome drink that was advertised and reception was not available 24/7 as the owner was not based on sight and just left and no refreshments are not anywhere to be found so you had to walk 10 minutes to the nearest shop
When they were there the owner was very helpful and informative
The train station and archaeological site were only 10- 15 minutes away so it is ideally situated

Wonderful stay at this family run hotel. The hosts were very welcoming and a good source of knowledge. The food was wonderful and authentic
Charming family run small scale hotel. A peaceful oasis away from crowds of tourists. Beautiful pool area to relax in, with no shortage of comfortable loungers. Exceptional food in the evening cooked with love by the owner and decent continental breakfast provided. Rooms simply furnished with en-suite, air conditioning and tv. Thoroughly cleaned each day. Great stay, we would recommend.
Close to the park even both train stations are walkable

Warm hosts and excellent dinner
The hosts are very warm and welcoming, they cook an excellent diner. Though, from the comfort side etc rooms, bed mattress, pillows etc are very outdated. also, it is literally next to a train railway...
Very friendly staff, their food is good and authentic of the area, if you want to stay away from tourist food this is the place to stay. Great experience overall, 10/10 recommend.
Room was a good size with plenty storage and most importantly very good air con! Absolutely loved the pool which was a very welcome relief after a day at the ruins. Dinner has to be the highlight, fresh, flavoursome and plentiful! I need to learn how to make the deep fried courgette flowers, and everything else! Lorena could perhaps run a cooking class 😊. Much nicer experience than just doing a day trip to Pompeii! Looking forward to coming back again! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality 🙏
When you are here you feel at home. Outstanding service from all the staff. Very friendly. The dinner is a must to try. Very delicious. We enjoyed our 3 days stay its so close to pompeii ruins walk distance less than 4 minutes and you can find many many places to eat. You can even walk to town. Very well located to everything that you need. Definetely will stay again here. Rooms were very clean and big. This is the place to stay if you ever in Pompeii.
Great value for money. Recommend the homemade dinner option, it was delicious. Owners were very friendly.
This is not a Hilton or Marriott, it is an authentic family run motel/hotel.
Would stay again when visiting.
Short walk to Pompeii
Free secured parking on site.
If you want a place to stay where your plan is to see Pompeii stay here. They have a home cooked 5 course meal available for a few that is absolutely amazing. They are friendly and it is walking distance to Pompeii archaleogical site and the Pompeii train station so you can continue your trip to the amalfi coast after testing snigger here to see pompei
We got this stay on our way to Pompeii and got a wonderful surprise. Don Domenico received us at the gate and from there we got show to our lovely rooms and headed to a great dinner. Lorena and Giuseppe took care of the meal and stay. Can't say enough about out stay in Pompeii. And the property is right beside the Pompeii ruins. 5 min walk to the main entrance.
Excellent hosts, very friendly and accommodating, The pool was small but refreshing. you MUST have dinner there at least one night the home made itilaian dinner they provide is absolutely incredible. 10 minute walk to Pompeii archaeology site And to the train station is a 7 minute walk. Would stay here again, great value for the price. Spacious rooms.
This is a wonderful place.. Beautiful and the best food we've eaten in Italy.. The room was very comfortable, clean and well provided for. The couple that run the place are very, very friendly.. The train/ruins are about a 15min walk.. There is a decent slope to the hotel.. but if I (66) and my brother (78) could get up the hill back to the Hotel from our visit to Pompii.. You can also! Wish we could've stayed longer.. If I ever get back to Pompii this would be my choice..

What a lovely family run Villa, wish we stayed more than one night. The rooms were clean and comfortable. So awesome to be able to get refreshed in the pool after a long day of travel. The owners were super friendly and helpful in giving information. There was even a cute cat that would come by to say hello. Breakfast was simple continental with fresh cappuccino. Would stay again.
Well placed as a base to visit Pompeii ruins, Vesuvius, Sorrento and Naples. Train station only a 8 min walk - able to hear them from property but did not cause us an issue. Good clean basic accomodation and having a pool area for a dip and relaxing around was great. The optional evening meal is not to be missed - try it out at least once during a stay. Staff very friendly and approachable. Ensured we had breakfast very early on day of departure.
Excellent location next to rail tracks where you can hop the train. The host accommodated our very late check in two hours after check in closed as we had various issues on the way there. Comfortable bed, great breakfast, can leave car there protected and walk to do Pompeii Ruins. Only issue is train is noisy late and early, but not middle of the night.
Just perfect. A Mum and daughter weekend. We were made to feel at home as soon as we arrived, nothing is to much trouble for this amazing couple.. Our room was clean and spacious. The dinner was insane.. Home cooked and so many dishes were brought out. Definitely eat here at least 1 night of your stay.
A pool to cool off in after 20k steps a day was just what I needed and with only a few mins walk, you are at the ruins and train station what more could you want. I will definitely be back for another visit..
