Villa Signorini Events & Hotel

This is a rather beautiful old Villa which shows promise but sadly doesn’t always live up to it. Some staff were excellent, some a bit up their own backside and some just downright funny - they’d give Fawlty Towers Manuel a run for his money!

Great old impressive rooms - pay the extra to upgrade as its the rooms that you are there for (even though they need a little TLC). Grounds fab. Not a lot in immediate area but bar (5 euros for 0.33 bottle of Peroni) and restaurant in hotel (restaurant opens at 8pm).

Very nice hotel in a great location. The staff is very friendly. Parking was easy and the room was clean with lots of towels. Breakfast was very nice and the coffee was fantastic

Helpful staff. The villa is a great reminder of the past

This is a picturesque, eccentric early 19th century villa perched between Portici and Ercolano. We booked two suites that turned out to be two very large rooms with 15-foot frescoed ceilings. The street-side room had a large, windowed bathroom with a view of Vesuvius, but the cobbled street is busy and noisy. The other room had two French doors to a huge terrace overlooking the gardens, but the bathroom was split between a frosted glass cubicle containing the toilet and sink, and a closet that had been converted into a shower, at the other end of the room. Neither room is set up to allow one person to sleep while the other lounges on a couch, and because they have high ceilings and (beautiful) marble floors, every noise and whisper gets amplified. The on-site restaurant is good and the staff at the desk are pleasant and helpful. The building is not in the sort of shape that a North American might expect from a hotel or a nice bed and breakfast, but it is eccentric in a good way. WiFi was very, very limited. The neighbourhood is very rough around the edges, and it's a bit of a walk to the train station in Portici. However, the trains to Naples run every 15 minutes and are super cheap. If you have a car, it's a short drive ups Vesuvius, and access to the highway is relatively simple (with GPS). There is secure parking in the gardens. If you're traveling on foot, this is probably not a convenient spot to stay.

This was the worst room I've ever had. It was a sparse, poorly constructrd hostel room in an attic with no windows. The shower leaked everywhere on the floor. NOT AS ADVERTISED. The wifi didn't work although the front desk gave us a hot spot to use once we complained. This was not booked as a hostel room, it was booked as a hotel room in a historic and charming villa. NOT! We paid more for this room than any other hotel or villa during our trip throughout southern Italy.

It’s beautiful residence and amazing look of it. Gorgeous rooms and simple facilities but sufficient for a short or a long stay.

I was looking forward to our stay in this hotel but unfor

The hotel was obviously once a very grand building, but these old, grand buildings obviously cost a fortune to maintain and upkeep. Whilst your first impression might be good, when you actually look around you there are cracks on a lot of the walls, floors and ceilings. We had a very large room, a suite I believe. The view overlooked what seemed to be a dump yard for the hotel. The area surrounding the hotel is absolutely awful, but of course this is not the fault of the hotels. We were forced to eat our evening meal here, as an initial wander in the dark did not come up with any local restaurants. The food was average at best, although we had a nice bottle of wine. The main annoyance in the hotel restaurant was a large TV screen blaring out. We asked for it to be turned off but the only option was for it to be turned down, se we still had the annoyance of a bright screen flickering. I have only ever had a TV in an eating place if it were a sports bar, or a pub.NEVER in a restaurant anywhere in he world. Breakfast was a continental buffet, fine for one morning. Bed was not particularly comfortable. All in all it was somewhat a Fawlty Towers Experience. WiFi in the room was non existent at our area of the hotel. Obviously there are incredibly thick walls everywhere so this is probably the reason why. i would think 3 star rating would be more fair, however I would suggest this is probably the best hotel in the area.

This hotel is actually a 300 year old villa. The bedrooms are amazing in the main building so it is worth paying the extra on top of the Annex room price, the bedroom size and bathroom size/facilities were really good. The breakfast room is too small for the number of guests and each day you'll be lucky to get a table straight away - and this is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5. The hotel is situated on an unassuming back street about half way between Portici and Ercolano - you can walk to either in ten minutes. The service is very good and the grounds are lovely too. Portici train station will take you to Naples in 20 minutes or Salerno in 1hr5mins and the train tickets are cheap.
