Miriam's House Pompei

We stayed in Miriam’s house for four nights in June 2024. Miriam’s house is in a brilliant location, approximately 10 minutes walk from Pompeii Central Train Station and about 5 minutes walk to the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance to the archaeological site. There are many bars and restaurants virtually on the door step. The supermarket is a bit further, do not believe Google The house is very clean and well equipped with high quality items. There is a pleasant sunny patio. There is a good washing machine and an area for drying clothes. It took us a bit of searching to find the iron and the ironing board however the owner is prompt at answering queries. My opinion of the house is; if this was mine, it is far too nice and I would be reluctant to rent it to the general public. It is one of the best holiday rentals we have stayed in.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Everything was fantastic, appliances and furnishings are all updated and well maintained. The blow dryer in the bathroom is even high quality, which is rare for most rental homes. The location is optimal, the photos match the quality of the apartment, and everything was very comfortable.

We have no complaints, everything was wonderful.

Francesco contacted me through WhatsApp and met us at the property to give us the gives and a tour of the place. The two large rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The garden area was peaceful during the day and has sun and covered area. He and his nephew, who translated for us, came to check us out. They arrived a few minutes early showing respect for our need to leave for the walk to the train station. It is less than a minute’s walk to the information agency with tour tickets and restaurants and just 200 m from the entrance to the ruins. Francesco sent me a daily message wishing us a good day. He is a very kind and generous man letting us check in early.

In the evening there is noise from the bar next door but the white noise app covered it up and we slept very well. Google Maps had us walk from the train station to the property on a route that included a lot of steps but more direct. I found later that had we gone straight up the street instead of turning left, the route was flatter and easier with heavy baggage.

It is so close to everything. Walking a few steps to great pastry shop, restaurants, and most importantly, to the incredible Pompeii ancient city. There is a large back terrace with access to a ping pong table,foosball and there’s a big TV out there. Computer games too. Francesco the host is super friendly and on the ball, ready to help with everything and keen to share your experience. He kept in frequent contact with us and even insisted on taking us out to enjoy delicious pastry on arrival. If you want a great host in call, he is there for you!

Personal taste- I didn’t like the profusion of garden gnomes and artificial flowers everywhere. There is only one bedroom. The single beds are in the master room and are quite small. It would be absolutely perfect for parents with two small children.

First of all, fantastic location! I’ve spend every summer for the lay twenty years in Pompeii, so I can confirm that it’s hard to find a better location - close to the site, to transportation, and to the center of town. Second, wonderful people! Very nice and caring, attending to every need. Third, spotlessly clean and in great condition.

Very little about which to complain. The neighboring bar does get a bit noisy at night. It’s more noticeable than it is loud.

Lovely flat. Close to the station and archiological sites. Fantastic hosts. Very keen to ensure our stay was problem free.

Beautiful, modern house. Large garden with several tables/chairs, table tennis/football table. 2nd kitchen in the garden. Everything in perfect working order. Lovely beds and shower. Close to Pompeii entrance and restaurants. Very responsive and friendly host. Thank you Francesco and son, we couldn’t have stayed anywhere better!
