Manor House

Our hosts went out of their way to help us and make our stay a pleasant one.

Silvia's place was truly lovely for our family of six. We loved the apartment and the private garden. Our hosts were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed as well as great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Silvia's daughter Eliana and the rest of her family truly treated us like family as soon as we arrived and made us feel so welcome. We’d love to come visit again and reccomend them highly to anyone looking in the area!

This very nice apartment is away from the Pompeii tourist traps. The apartment was huge and the accommodations very comfortable. Hosts speak little to no English, but Google Translate helped bridge the gap. They were very kind and welcoming, despite the lateness of our arrival. If you plan to see the ruins, a Pompeii archeological site entrance (SW corner of the site) is 1500 meters from the place and walkable, but if you have a tour that meets at Villa dei Misteri, you'll need to get your transportation straight as it is considerably farther away. After three days, we never fully figured out the bus system. Bus stops sometimes seem to be unmarked, and busses scheduled to stop at ones that were, never appeared. One bus driver drove right past us, waving a finger indicating he would not be stopping even though it was the bus we were waiting. Another said No public when we asked if he was headed to Scafati. We never saw a taxi (expensive, we heard), even though we were told they exist. We had some long walks as a result!

The property was very spacious and clean and in a quiet street yet close to all amenities. I would, however, recommend a list with a map giving locations for services like train and bus info, supermarkets, good restaurants etc and places of interest. It would be useful for visitors, who are less adventurous. John + Fiona

Sylvia was nice enough to bring her niece to translate from Italian to English. Sylvia with her niece were waiting for us when we arrived. They showed us everything in the apartment and how things worked. They are very friendly and had all kinds of pamphlets for us to review if we needed. The niece recommended this little grocery store not to far from the apartment and the food was excellent. The only negative thing is that they had no coffee machine and what was there was a on the stove percolator which took a while to make our coffee and it made the coffee way to strong. But that is the only thing. Thank you Sylvia

Our time at this apartment in Scafati was too short! The place was cool, comfortable and the owners (who live downstairs) very friendly and helpful! We had come to the area to see ancient Pompei and looked for a reasonably placed place near Pompei. We did not realize that where we would meet our guide was 5.5 kilometers away (there is an entrance to Pompei only a kilometer away,) and we needed a cab. Silvia, the owner, kindly called one for us. The cab driver she called was right on time. Silvia checked later to make sure it was all right and that the taxi had come. There is a well equipped kitchen but we were not there long enough to do any cooking. There are several restaurants a short walk away. Having just come from Rome, it was nice to be in a place with almost no tourists! If you happen to go to Scafati during the 4th weekend in July, you will be there for Scafati’s celebration of its patron saint. We could not figure out why there were fireworks and a parade with marching band. A little internet searching gave me the answer. One thing to be aware of is that Silvia does not speak much English (and we speak very little Italian.) Google Translate came to the rescue! My family and I strongly recommend this apartment!

This apartment is very nice, very near to Pompeii. The hosts were very nice.

We have just got back from a wonderful stay at casa signorile in pompei. The accomodation itself is set a little way down from the main square in pompei and the ruins themselves which means it is nice and quiet, however with an easy 20 minute walk you can be in the centre with all of the attractions and train station. The accomodation was very clean, comfortable and well equiped for self catering. The property did not have a kettle but when we asked the hosts they very kindly sourced one for us within a couple of hours! The hosts, Eliana and her family, could not have been more accomodating. Upon arrival they met us at the property, let us in, showed us around and took the time to give us some good advice on exploring the area including places to eat. Their hosting did not stop there, they were on the end of a phone if we needed anything and came to see us out at the end of our stay. Would definately recommend this accomodation to anyone visiting pompeii and the surrounding area. Thank you to Eliana and her family for letting us stay in their apartment.

Hosts, Silvia and Eliane, provide the easiest experience to discover highlights in the region. They have, even, invited us to welcome with the family the New Year, with toasts and fireworks in the Italian tradition. The apartment is perfectly conditioned with all kind of details to make the stay easy and comfortable. Thanks a lot!
