A hidden treasure in Pompei, located a short walk away from the ruins. Comfortable and extremelly clean rooms, helpfull and friendly staff with a wonderfully positive attitude. Large available parking space on the premisses. Really great breakfast buffé, the young man who was attending the buffé made an outstanding cup of cappuccino. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Pretty new accommodation with superb Design and comfort. We stayed in the largest Suite, good space, everything works easy and is comfortable - especially regarding a 4star Hotel... most 5 star Hotels offer less in each aspect. Rooftop restaurant and Bar is fantastic... you just dont want to leave. The restaurant on ground floor offers great food and lovely service, the reception is extremely helpful and patient.

Villa Signorini is a beautiful 18th century villa located in the so-called Golden Mile, just a stone throw from the archaeological site of Herculaneum. From the hotel it is just a short travel with the train both to Naples as well as to Pompeii and you can even reach Sorrento in about 1,5 hours from here. The rooms are kept in good condition and the staff is welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed our 12 days stay there.

Great location, fantastic room with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Napoli and Capri, really pleasant and clean rooms, huge swimming pool, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. We travelled with a 5 year old and lots of luggage and a pet, this was one of the nicest places we stayed in Europe.

Lovely hotel, very, very clean. Room was huge. Well presented. Right on a roundabout but couldn’t hear any noise - good insulation. Great restaurant, excellent serving sizes and not expensive. Good location with restaurants, cafes and supermarkets all within about 200m. Verandah was huge and I would only suggest the hosts perhaps put a little table and chair out there for sitting.

Location is excellent, very close to Pompeii ruins. They have many animals (rabbits, horses, cow, pigs, duck, cats,...) which our children adored and a lot of playground to run around. Staff is excellent, they made us feel really welcome. Also dinner was great, especially the mixed meat. I would recommend it to everyone.

Been on my bucket list since studying Classical Studies at school. It did not disappoint. Steeped in history and you get a real feel for the terror those people experienced when Vesuvius erupted. I climbed to the crater so peaceful now hard to believe it caused such destruction. Seeing the House of the Faun made my day at Pompeii. Herculaneum was as impressive but smaller and easy to navigate. Pompeii is huge and it was hot with no shade this makes getting around in the crowds a little more challenging.

It was close to a train line and it was easy to get to Naples. Also the location was good as it was in the middle and we could go to Naples and to Amalfi coast, Pompeii from here with little problem. The traffic in Naples is chaos so it was good that we could get there by train and then use the metro from there.

Disappointing. Looks really nice with all the view but our room had no windows, the breakfast was 10minute walk and the swimmingpool was very very cold. As well as closed on the day of our arrival. These people do a good job in selling the story, but arriving there was a disappointment. The view from the pool is very nice though.

This area was quite calm in comparison to Pompeii or Naples.

This area was quite calm in comparison to Pompeii or Naples. A big advantage are the views of the sea and the surrounding towns, and you can also see Mount Vesuvius. The roads were broken in places and very dirty full of rubbish, which is typical of all the nearby towns. For traveling with a smaller car it is OK, with a bigger car I would be afraid of the narrows and wild traffic.

The hotel is an Italian villa built in 1711, with a lot of Baroque decoration in the building and surrounding park. Our room (a junior suite) was large, with a small balcony and separated bathroom/toilet. We even had a jacuzzi bath, functioning. The fittings however were oldish and the provided amenities did not live up to a 5 star hotel standard. Breakfast was decent but monotonous, again not living up to a 5 star hotel standard. The hotel is a venue for social events (marriages, birthdays etc) involving a high level of noise, loud music and fireworks most of the nights (in our case 8 out of the 9 nights we spent there) up to well past 11 pm and sometimes later. Take this in consideration if you like to come to an oasis of calm and serenity after a long day in the Italian heat. You'll not find it in this hotel. Parking is available and free even if crowded at evenings with the vehicles of the guests to one of the events. The pool is nice looking but I never saw one person using it and there always was an underwater cleaning robot doing its thing in the morning. It seems the pool is more of a decorative item than a usable guest amenity. All things considered our stay at the hotel was pleasant, the evening noise bearable with the help of ear plugs and the TV allowed me to connect an Amazon FireTV stick and enjoy my favourite entertainment without being restricted to Italian TV programs.
