Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers outstanding value for money with spacious rooms and a large balcony. While the shower was not working, the back of the hotel is quiet and peaceful.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though showing a little wear, were spacious, and I loved the huge private terrace overlooking the beautiful garden. However, they were not as depicted in the pictures. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were issues with additional charges for certain amenities. The location was visually stunning, but a bit far from Pompei with limited dining options nearby. The dining experience was good, with a changing menu but not up to a 5-star standard. Overall, the experience was a mix of highs and lows.
The hotel has a classic charm with rooms that overlook the mountains but show some wear and could use more light. The service is friendly and welcoming, with some historic touches adding a unique flair. The hotel's location is serene and beautiful, perfect for relaxation. The dining offers a generous variety but could benefit from more attention to quality.
