A great flat. Quiet location; comfortable bed; great shower; blackout blinds! EAsy check-in. Ideal for sightseeing if you want to visit Pompeii and Naples. Close enough to Naples that visiting both Caserta and Paestum by train are options. And close to the roads as well.
The Listing:
Essentially accurate - the sandwich maker is now a toaster; the Nespresso now an Italian Espresso maker and the CD player may have died - but in all that matters its spot on. Great shower, large rooms, comfortable bed; good oven. What it fails to mention is that outside each patio door are full length solid metal shutters that lock and that it also has electrically operated security screens that go up/down. So great security and the best part is that the electric screens act as blackout blinds! It could do with some extra cutlery and plates and if you absolutely need Netflix make sure you ask how to access but this is a super clean 5 star flat.
The location:
On the outskirts of San Giorgio the streets of which were commendably clean - there is a little rubbish - some collects in the underpass you walk through to get to the stations - for example but we saw people on several days sweeping the streets. And it shows.
If you are travelling by train the station of Santa Maria del Pozzo is about 950m away and that of San Giorgio about 1.1km away. Its flat terrain so 10-12 mins to Santa Maria 15 minutes to San Giorgio. And Google doesn't recognise the path through the underpass; but the Moovit travel app does.
Both stations are on the same line but Santa Maria is within the Naples zone - key point if you plan on getting a TIC Napoli travel pass which you should buy at "Garibaldi" (no ticket office at Santa Maria). L1 and L4 are the usual services; Metro line 6 also runs into San Giorgio - its a different line.
San Giorgio is not a town that "suffers" from tourism. Its normal and "friendly". If you don't speak Italian you will get by - but don't expect to have meaningful conversations!
