B&B Maestra Giovanna

Great location, close to Pompeii and several restaurants.

- The hostess is very warm, welcoming and helpful. - The location is perfect for Pompeii itself. - The room was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped.

The neighbours upstairs and adjoining were extremely noisy (dragging furniture around, loud music, etc) but this isn’t the fault of the hostess given the nature of the building.

Signora Giovanna, our Host, was extremely helpful and communicative and gave directions to anything we wanted to know about Pompeii town especially eating out. Breakfast was both pastry and coffee of any choice with a voucher from the Host. Also we made use of the coffee machine in the appartment kitchen. Bed was comfy but that is very subjective. Bathroom was very clean and appeared to be new. Sensory floor light on entering the bathroom was a nice touch for the middle of the night pee. Saves fumbling looking for lights in unfamiliar room. Mosquito screen installed in the windows which was also useful as well as mosquito plug in place if needed. Balcony was clean with 2 chairs and table.

I did not realise that due to the layout it was a shared kitchen area with other guests, but it was not used much by others but in the end it was not a problem. I was concerned that as our bedroom was next to the kitchen it might be noisy in the very early morning/late night, but the other guests were very quiet so we were lucky. This is not a criticism but an observation: Due to the lay out of our en suite room, in relation to the bathroom ventilation window, which opened out to the bedroom instead of to an outside wall, the particular double and single bedroom we stayed in is much more suited to a couple, family or sole traveler. I turned on the TV one evening so my friend did not have to listen to me tinkle in the toilet or do a No 2! As I say not a criticism but just an observation that some might appreciate.

Giovanna’s amazing hospitality! She was so kind and really made us feel welcome. The property was centrally located (9 min walk from station) and within 10 mins of the entrance to Pompeii. Giovanna also gave us a coupon for a coffee and croissant at the local cafe which was a nice touch. We only stayed one night but this stay was very memorable thanks to Giovanna.

Super clean and renovated apartment with fully equipped kitchen at the heart of Pompeii! Host was super helpful and gave us insights to the city. Very glad to come here, thank you for hosting us!

Giovanna is a heartwarming host and full of hospitality. She promptly answered every question we asked. The location is just perfect for the Pompei sightseeing. It is close to the beautiful cathedral. It takes 30 minutes to walk to the Remains’ main gate, but the pathway through the city's center is safe and enjoyable.

The front door key was a bit tricky. We had once struggled to get in, although Giovanna came to help us as soon as I texted her.

The location is excellent!! Pompei is walking distance away. There are good restaurants and cafes near by.. The church and plaza is nice place to visit. The accomodations are very adequate. Big rooms and comfortable. Madam Giovanna was very accommodating and friendly and helpful to show us where to go. There is a kitchen and table and chairs . I love the balcony.

I liked everything.

Everything was above and beyond our expectations! Staying here was the real Italian dream. We had the chance to experience what's it like to have the sweetest and most tender Italian grandma for a week!!!

The lady was so nice that I felt sad that we had to leave.
