Francesco was an amazing host,very friendly,helpful and knowledgeable.Breakfast was lovely and varied and lots of homemade products.The location is stunning,views of mount vesuvius and the bay of naples.If you are not hiring a car,its a 45 minute walk into the town of castellamare and the station and its uphill coming back but its worth it for the peaceful location of the b and b.We took the train to Sorrento and Pompei,really cheap fares and not far.We also did a boat trip with Villa catie partnership company to Possitano and Amalfi which was lovely.We used the restaurant attached to the b and b,owned by Francescos brother,food was plentiful and lovely,especially the homemade wine,be warned its 123 steps up to the restaurant.Everything here was perfect,made more special by Francesco and his staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.Thank you for a really special holiday.

Nothing!Only the long walk up after a long day walking but you would have to be mad to drive over here.lol

The host and staff were super nice. Very neat and cozy hotel building, its surroundings, breakfast and pool area. Cozy terrace with furnitures of the first floor rooms with a view of Vesuvius. Exceptional breakfast with enough choice - ham, cheese, omelette, fried and boiled eggs, even vegetables! This is very rare in Italy. Delicious fruits, juices, baked goods, amazing croissants! Coffee is served in a normal large cup! It was great! We were with our car, so we had no problem going up the narrow street to the hotel. Great parking. Good size bathroom and towels' warmer in it. Little fridge with drinks that you can purchase (very good prices by the way) - we could keep our water cold.

Small details, like wishing for a more comfortable mattress or a more modern wardrobe, are overshadowed by all the already listed pluses above. Generally, the price-quality ratio is ideal.

Location is excellent, out of the hustle and bustle. Gorgeous view, nice pool, really helpful staff. Room was nice, bed was comfortable and good shower. Nothing to not like!

You are a bit restricted to the restaurant behind the hotel. It was a good restaurant but it would be nice to vary the eating out locations. We think there was an open area in the summer attached to the restaurant but it wasnt open in early May (just the main big hall, which was a bit bright for us). We are use to more intimate surroundings. You could drive to nearby town but not ideal if you want to have a glass of wine with dinner. The road driving up to the Villa is challenging at first (but doable) but driving it might be more difficult at night. A big Jeep or two did park at the villa, so they cleared the narrow road so most cars should be fine.

I loved absolutely everything! Francesco and Giuseppe were so welcoming and provided the best service. The property location was perfect for us! Napoli was about 30 min by car. Pompeii 15 min. Sorrento 10-15 min. Giuseppe booked us an amazing boat tour the day after our arrival to Positano and Amalfi. Absolutely beautiful! The restaurant DID NOT disappoint. We ate there three out of our four night stay. The food was excellent, and the staff was wonderful and the service was on point!! It was a sad day when we had to leave.

There is nothing I did not like

Amazing place to stay. The road initially seems bit daunting but parking is good and spacious. Great base for Naples, Pompeii and the coast. Fantastic service, very friendly, helpful and kind. Went out of their way to help us: accessing services, sourcing information and communicating with tour operator on our behalf, which meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday. The rooms are good size, comfortable and very clean, breakfast is very good with a selection of hot and cold food and drink. Family restaurant at the top of the stairs for evening meal. Swimming pool lovely and clean with good seating/loungers. Amazing views over Naples and the bay. Just beautiful.

Every part of this stay was brilliant. The staff are so genuinely welcoming and kind. Everyone wants you to have a great stay. We loved every moment and I felt really sad to leave. We enjoyed two trips organised through the owner, the first to Positano and Amalfi and the second to Capri. Both were brilliant. We visited the joint restaurant up the hill twice too. Again everyone was so accommodating and it was lovely to be surrounded by Italian people enjoying their food in a truly authentic way. The room was really clean and looked after, even though we were messy and had so much stuff (sorry!). Breakfast was delicious, good selection but we loved the pastries and cappuccinos most. Thank you so much to you all, I couldn’t recommend this place more. Great people and we can’t wait to come back one day but probably without the drive from England to get there.

Nothing, it was really lovely

We loved our stay here. It was convenient for arriving at night from Naples airport, close to Pompeii, and not a bad drive to Sorrento. The staff were so friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and served with a beautiful view. We were even able to rent a scooter for driving the Amalfi coast at the hotel which was so convenient. There's a grocery store right at the bottom of the hill. Don't hesitate to book it, it was a fantastic three-night stay.

The road up to it can be a little challenging but it just added to the fun!

The staff are very friendly and really helpful. The room was very clean and spacious. Very comfortable beds, especially the pillows. Easy to get by Car. Great Breakfast service with a great view. A good selection of choices to eat and drink compared to most Hotels and B&Bs at this price range. We had a very nice patio in front which was nice to chill in, outside. They have their own Car parking space as well. The cleaning staff clean the room every morning. Nice small pool and since there are only 12 rooms, you can have it just for yourself. Without traffic, Pompei and Napoli are just 20-30 mins away. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Nothing to really complain about. But tiny things that could be improved maybe. There's only a bin in the bathroom. An extra one in the bedroom could be handy. WiFi is sometimes weak and it takes couple of minutes to connect to. Otherwise nothing. A great place to stay!

friendly staff very clean rooms lovely pool area great views good location for visiting Pompei, sorrento , Naples , Amalfi great restaurant 2 min walk away

access to the property is narrow so can be difficult for larger cars

Great size room and bathroom, breakfast was excellent, nice variety of fair to choose from. All the staff were lovely,so friendly and helpful. Facilities were excellent. Total peace and quiet in the location. There was so much to love about the Villa, small little details that made it so wonderful.

Surprisingly nothing. The only issue is the location at the end of a very narrow Lane way, but that's it for a negative.
