Pompei, Italy
Positive section of review
This is a tidy, clean and spacious apartment for one person or a couple as there is only one double bed. The bathroom is well appointed and the shower good. The kitchen has is well appointed too and has a dining table for six, a large fridge, a sofa for two and a tv. Outside there is a large terrace with a great view of Vesuvius, and plenty of outdoor furniture. I would give the apartment 9 rating but for the location. Hopefully they now have the correct WiFi info on the noticeboard.

The reason for my 7 rating is the location. I chose this property as my sole purpose for being in Pompeii was to visit the Archeological Park and so I wanted accommodation close by the ruins and the station. I did check all the property and map distances info before booking but it was, and still is, misleading. If you have a car, then this site / location would be fine, and there is off-street parking on site. Without a car, the location is isolated amongst small farms behind Pompeii, and a very long walk uphill and downhill from anywhere, which is challenge in 37˚C July heat. Although the map says 900m from the Pompeii Forum, this distances and several others given are as the crow flies, not at the roads go. I needed taxis to get to and from, and the road is so narrow and a dead end so cars have to do several point turns to turn around. It is easier to get out at the junction 100m away and walk to the apartment. The van taxis do not want to go there are the roads are too narrow. Taxis to the ruins / station were 20-30 euros per trip (July 2025) depending on the company. I stayed four days and clocked up about 60 euros in taxis per day which wasn't in my budget!

Hotel was in close proximity to the Termini train station, which I wanted as we were not renting a car in Rome and were planning to head to Florence by train the next day. Breakfast was very nice with many options and very good coffee!! The hotel was able to get us our room when checking in at 2pm which was helpful to not have to wait for our room to be ready.

Stayed in hotel on 2 separate occasions, first when we arrived in Italy on September 2 and again as we were leaving Italy on September 10. Rates for the hotel was much higher on September 10 and also did not include breakfast. I was pretty sure my booking said it did, but I was not going to argue.

While a minor issue, the shower head could do with replacing to improve water flow.
