Naples was the most ghetto city we stayed in Italy. The air pollution is intense. So the positive thing about this location is that it’s above the city and the air is nicer. You get a great view but every night there’s a light show near the dock and really loud music that we had to sleep thru.
It’s quite a drive from the city and if you’re in Naples to see Pompei, you are a solid 2 hrs plus of traveling to get there. It’s on the other side of town, and then even further out. We spent quite a bit on taxis because the time it would take to get anywhere is really long.
Luca helped check us in and was nice, the bottle of wine waiting for us was a nice touch. But after that, texts to Luca went unanswered. We had another number which I suspect is the owner of the house, and she was very responsive via text although we never met her. She sent us maps and called taxis to pick us up at the home which is so helpful, as the entrance is difficult to find.
The biggest downside was the extreme amount of air fresheners in the home. We went on an Easter egg hunt to find them all and unplug them because, you know, cancer. I think we ended up finding over 20 of them and shut them in a bathroom.
Overall nice space but I wouldn’t book it if you’re only going to Pompei.
