The apartment is superbly located close to the station and a short walk from the sea front, shops and restaurants. The traffic can be quite noisy, but closing the window and switching on the air conditioning solves that. Catello is really friendly and provided us with some good suggestions for places to visit as well as eat and drink. Will almost certainly visit this area again and would not hesitate to book the apartment.

Appartement de très bon goût auquel il ne manquait presque rien á part un fer á repasser ainsi que d'un séchoir à linge de taille normale et de quelques pinces à linge. Nous ne sommes restés que quelques jours donc pas de problème mais pour quelqu'un qui reste une semaine, cela peut être gênant. Sinon, appartement très bien situé géographiquement. Accueil très sympathique du propriétaire. Cordialement. Mr et Mme Butel

A spacious flat, tastefully decorated, with everything provided for a comfortable stay. Situated in a busy street, but noise is subdued when the window is closed. We stayed 16 nights and only on the night of a public holiday were we aware of excessive street noise. We slept well every other night. The flat is 2 mins. from the station and funicular, and all kind of shops, restaurants, etc. are in the immediate vicinity, as is the tree-planted promenade with a view of Vesuvius. Castellammare is not a pretty town, but is an authentic working town with few tourists. It is lively in the evenings and perfectly safe. From this town we visited Pompeii, Ercolano, Vesuvius, Naples, Paestum, Sorrento, Amalfi, Atrani, Salerno, Vietri, Oplontis, Boscoreale and the two villas of Stabiae. We also walked to the summit of Monte Faito, then down to Vico Equense. Breathtaking views. From Sorrento we took buses and walked to various villages in the Sorrentine Peninsula. We could have taken the ferry to Capri, but decided to stay on Capri next year. We enjoyed returning to the flat each evening, either to eat there or to dine out. "Ristorante Bistrot da Gaetano" was our favourite restaurant. Excellent quality, very friendly service. Catello was very helpful and available had we needed advice. We enjoyed the local wine he left! We are very glad we chose this accommodation.

I am super picky about where I stay and this apartment was fantastic. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. It is located on a fun busy street, yet with the window closed it is silent inside. I assumed that street noise would wake me up in the morning so I didn't set an alarm - mistake! I had no idea the day had started as it was so quiet inside. We got great advice about getting around from Katella - he is so helpful and always available. Castellamare di Stabia is a great untouristy town and the apartment is perfectly located. The train station is right down the street from the apartment, so we were able to visit Pompeii, Capri and other places very easily. The waterfront is two blocks away - not a sandy beach where you would swim (although locals were paddleboarding in the water) but has a lovely boardwalk. We cooked dinners in the apartment as there are wonderful little grocers all around. If you have a car, the cinema parking lot is right out the door of the apartment and you can leave the car overnight. Definitely visit Villa Ariana and Villa San Marco while you are there - they are like Pompeii but with more access and not as ruined - but be forewarned they are difficult to find down random streets. We were expecting big signs that pointed the way and we missed the entrances and had to ask around. Still totally worth the effort. If I had to come up with one downside it would be that the apartment doesn't have a dishwasher. I got my husband to wash the dishes so that worked out ok for me. Also, don't judge the apartment by the walk up which is dingy. I learned that in Italy all of the outer aspects of an apartment building don't tell you anything about what you will find inside. This was an absolutely wonderful experience! We highly, highly recommend this apartment!

Authentic Italian city, transportation hub makes it simple to get everywhere you want to go, our host was perfect we tried many of his recommendations. Would love to stay longer thanks Catello

Wir durften schöne 5 tage in der Wohnung verbringen! Der Vermieter hat uns herzlichst begrüßt und uns viele Informationen über die Umgebung gegeben. In der Wohnung ist bereits alles nötige vorhanden. Obwohl die Wohnung mitten in der Stadt ist, ist es mit geschlossenen Fenstern überraschend leise! Wir können diese Wohnung nur weiter empfehlen!:)
