"Pros: Great location for Pompeii ruins, lovely courtyard dining, plenty of restaurants on your doorstep , absolutely lovely accommodating staff, Bosco de Medici winery a 20 minute walk away, tour office a stone’s throw away, very clean and well maintained. Cons: Nothing" ~Kevin

"Pros: Location is fabulous, right across from the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance to Pompeii Archaeological Site. It is less busy then than the other gates and also closer to some of the most desirable sites. Also there is bus stop to take you up to Vesuvio or other historical sites in the area. A short pretty walk takes you to downtown modern Pompeii square, where there is a beautiful Catholic Church that is a shrine site of the Vatican. Little cafes and shops along the way. We found a great little restaurant on a side street and were having dinner when the bells rang to announce the New Pope had been selected. Charming. The apartment has little balcony above the street which was nice to open. The walk to the train station takes about 20 minutes. Mostly flat until the last bit up to the station (or down on your arrival). We found it easy, but be aware the sidewalks are wide and beautiful but also brick, so the wheels of your rolling suitcases will get a workout. We knew we would be walking allot, so packed small bags ( I had carry on size roll aboard) my husband used a backpack style duffle bag. We did fine, but I will say I had been walking 3-4 miles everyday at home and my husband is fit at 63. You could do this without being fit, but allow yourself plenty of time. The host couple who met us were so friendly and sweet. we were able to leave our bags with them on check out so we could go up to hike Vesuvio. Adorable and such a lovely way to start our adventure in Italy. They had also suggested a guide (through the message app of booking) before our arrival. So we were able to have that all arranged ahead of time And Felecia (guide) was awesome. Note: Pompeii & Vesuvio are now limiting number of people who can access the parks daily. You need a ticket for Vesuvio BEFORE you arrive, and we highly recommend you get your tickets to Pompeii ahead as well. We did that through our guide as tickets are timed entry and you want it to be with them. Cons: We loved it all, but as with most of Italy, in this part of the country anyway, be prepared for steps. We were on the floor above shops. voices from the business below do drift up, we found it charming and were not bothered. But, If you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs. We believe the trees across the street help muffle all the street noise, but it is in town with normal town noises." ~Beth
