Naples the view from Vesuvius 1

Enrica was an outstanding host, full of warmth and always happy to advise, which added considerably to our enjoyment. The cottage is characterful and well-equipped, and the grounds with their fruit trees were fun to wander in. The view, as others have said, is unique. We saw gorgeous sunsets when we went in Feb/March. The location is perfect for visiting archeological sites Herculaneum, Pompeii, Paestum and of course going up Mt Vesuvius. We rented a car, which enabled us to get the most out of our visit, but probably best if you’re an experienced driver. Local foods not to miss are of course pizza, gelato and the fabulous pastry shops! Overall, we couldn’t fault this place, it’s an absolute gem. Thank you to Enrica and family. x

The rustic style villa blends beautifully with its surroundings. There are two other villas and the large house of the hosts on the estate which covers around four (my estimate) acres on the mountain side and is fully secure with entrance via an electronic gate. Ample shaded parking right next to the villa. Great location for Vesuvius, Pompeii, Naples and Herculaneum. Hosts very friendly and accommodating. Kitchen well equipped with cooking essentials, fresh coffee and welcome bottle of wine provided. Pool has a diving board and is 2-3 meters deep but also has a large shallow section at the opposite end where children (and adults) can stand. The owners dog roams the grounds but is very docile - he seems to enjoy being around people but is in no way intrusive. Within the grounds are various conifers, fruit and olive trees and cacti which give shade and character. Bedrooms in our villa were accessed by a tight spiral staircase, suitable only for guests with good mobility, especially with toilet on the ground floor. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms were easily enough to keep us cool and comfortable even in August. Our family with children aged 9 and 13 loved it here and would definitely recommend it.

Basing yourself at this wonderful property provides access to popular tourist sites within short drives as well as one of the most incredible views you will ever have the pleasure of experiencing. Our host and her entire family were welcoming, accessible and supportive of us experiencing this region of Italy to the full. We were also gifted fresh figs grown on the property! The property itself is charming but achieves it's wow factor through the view from the patio as well as the large pool. The nearby restaurants and bars (easy walking distance) provide a wonderful range of traditional dishes using regional foods and wines. Highly recommended stay

Hosts always on hand to help and suggest places to visit. Accomodation spotless and very well situated.

Stunning location, easy to get to and a dream vacation! Enrica was an amazing host and helped us settle in quickly with a lovely cake and some fridge basics on our arrival. All the sights you want to see, Naples, Pompei and the Amalfi Coast are just a short drive away! Mount Vesuvius is also on your doorstep and if you didn’t even want to move away from the pool side, you wouldn’t be disappointed, the view over the bay of Naples and the vista to Capri is to die for!

The house had everything we needed for a short break. And the children loved the beautiful swimming pool. We did not have time to use the Tennis court. Enrica could not have been more helpful, and her advice was superb. We will go back.

We have just come back from one of the best holidays we have had. This home is set on the edge of Mount Vesuvius looking out to Capri. We did not want the stress of renting a car and driving on the unfamiliar Italian roads. The owner, Enrica and Stefano and family happily drove us to and from the airport as well as to the nearest train station (Circumvesuviana) that takes you to all the top sightseeing destinations. Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples and Sorrento were all easy to get to using this train service. Enrica also drove us to nearby Vesuvius which is well worth the trip with stunning views. The house is beautiful with an amazing pool. We were greeted with a delicious chocolate cake and drinks in the fridge. Their dog Gherrro became part of our family and played happily with us all. The Pizza Restaurant opposite was excellent and very reasonably priced. Thank you Enrica and all your family for your hospitality and kindness, we would definitely love to come back again.

The cottage is very picturesque and was prepared and well equipped, for either a stay-at-home holiday, or day trips out and a place to lay your head. It is set on large grounds, which my daughters loved exploring. The pool was a favourite, as was the tennis courts (and Ghero, our visitor morning or evening). We managed to travel into Serento, Pompei and Ercolano with ease. As well as take a trip up Vesuvius. We would most defiantly choose to stay here again, if we visited this part of Italy again. Enrica, Grazie mille per l'accoglienza. Spero di Rivederla. Grazie. The Graham Family

The house is wonderfully located in a big park. The friendly owners live close, but leave you privacy. From the terraces you have a wonderful view on the Napels bay which is very impressive. All big attractions like Pompei, Hercolaneum the Vesuvius are within a 30 minutes drive. And on returning from the busy sites and cities around full of cars and people you can enjoy the quietness of the house and park. We really enjoyed it staying here for a week.

We had a splendid time
