We were in the apartment which was spacious and comfortable. Host went out of his way to arrange to have us driven to his restaurant for dinner and to some stores to pick up supplies. He also offered private transportation and drop offs for a fee. He also arranged for delivery from his restaurant for dinner the second night of our stay. Great pool, quiet, beautiful property with great views of the Sorrento coastline and Vesuvius.

Shower in the apartment was incredibly small. We stayed here to visit the ruins in Pompeii and Ercolano and didn’t have a vehicle. Transportation options were extremely limited so if it wasn’t for the host we would have had to walk over a km to access any amenities.

I don't know where to start! We had a last minute change of accommodation to Tenuta Nunziata based on the pool. It was the best decision in the end. Tenuta Nunziata is halfway between Naples and Sorrento on the train which is a 15 min or less walk away at the villa Regina. Train travel is very cheap make sure to say 'ritorno' clearly and not return as they might not hear!! Use google maps to get the location of the station! Do not be put off by the surrounding area it is actually very friendly just not overly touristy! There is a small shop a short walk from the accommodation,turn right when you leave the gates then turn left and keep left, cria I think it is called. There is a nearby antiquarian in Boscoreale which shows facets of life in the area preserved from the eruption, as well as the ruins of oplonti and probably plenty more! Pompeii is one train stop away! I was blown away with the Tenuta Nunziata from the moment we arrived. The accommodation itself is simple and very clean, however the surroundings were a massive surprise. Gino's historic farmhouse (divided into apartments) are in the midst of an expansive Olive Grove with limes, lemons and some oranges, with a lovely view of mt. Vesuvius, and on climbing to the upper floor patio there are more mountainous views. Gino is a restauranteur also and will take you to one of his restaurants if you ask, he also produces his own olive oil on the estate. The estate has history too, which is the reason for a shrine or'chapel'. During an eruption of vesuvius in the early 1900's, Tenuta Nunziata was the only place in its surroundings missed by volcanic debris, so it was considered blessed and sacred! And it certainly is! The pool is wonderful, it has a deep end and a shallow end and my partner and daughter loved it and spent so much time in it, night and morning.

Bring plenty of money! Or do a good shop (get an apartment with a kitchen of Gino, not all in his estate have kitchens!) Maybe bring a travel kettle too! We found eating out very expensive , much more so than Ireland (North West Donegal, also tourist area), the food was wonderful but my partner found a place in Sorrento near the train for eggs and bacon etc lol. Beaches are not free mostly!! And bring flip flops that stay on your feet as they're often rocky but the water is like nothing I've experienced! Very salty but so warm and soothing it's nearly thermal. Toilets are not free, bring plenty 50 cents! ! Maps are often not free! There is very little free like you would see in Ireland. And because Italy is so populated it is quite poor and no minimum wage so you can imagine they need to maximise money in the tourist season hence the price for everything!

Great location so close to Pompeii but away from the hectic central area. The rooms were clean and the host was very helpful organising a taxi to the airport and a trip to his pizza restaurant for dinner which was delicious.

Very caring and attentive hosts. Great accommodation on a beautiful and large estate, separated from the city noise and crowds. Private parking...great pool to enjoy after a day of sightseeing. Good location, close to railways.

Very beautiful garden and pool, clean facilities and a private parking spot. In the small room the air conditioning was very good, but in the larger room it straggled a bit.

The apartment had a very specific smell that we didn’t like so much, there was no fridge, so the hostess gave us water.🙂 The shower was extremely small (not for big people). In our opinion it was a little expensive compared to much better located apartments in the area.
