Miriam's House Pompei

Great communication from owner , really friendly and gave loads of recommendations. The house is so comfortable with all the home comforts and more. We loved the garden space. Great location to explore Pompei and beyond close to transport links on all rail lines.

Everything! It’s rare I’d use the word exceptional in a review but honestly this place merits it! From the help and communication with Francesco even before we arrived and all throughout our stay (more related to Pompei as everything to do with our stay was perfect!) to presenting a beautiful property, exceptionally clean with every little detail thought of. A fridge full of complimentary drinks & savoury snacks and sweets in the kitchen. KWe met his lovely mom who is responsible for the place being pristine & his nephew who was helpful and a lovely young man. It’s a family affair and they take pride in their property and it shows in every way 😊 The location is fab, it’s only a 3-4min stroll from the entrance to the ruins but yet very private and quiet. Lovely restaurant ‘Le Delezie’, ice cream parlour and shops just around the corner. Note there are 2 train stations (2kms apart) in Pompei it arriving by train. Miriam’s house very near the main ‘Pompei’ station. We only stayed one night as we were travelling down the Amalfi coast but in hindsight, we would have happily stayed in Pompei for the week and travelled by train to the places we wanted to go. Also, one thing that might be helpful to know is there is free luggage storage at the ruins for anyone who needs it 😉 Forgot to say kids loved the fussball table, PlayStation, garden hose! and basketball.For families there is one double bed and two single in the main bedroom (with extra bedding available) and a double sofa bed in the living room.

Absolutely nothing. A tiny bit of flexibility around check out time would have been super but I get they spend so much time cleaning and preparing the property that they need to get stuck in and I guess it’s only possible if they don’t have guests arriving the very next night.

The hosts met us at the property and gave us a tour of the facilities, some suggestions as to where was best to eat and to visit. They could not have been more accommodating. The property itself was spacious and bright, with great air conditioning, comfy beds, breakfast cakes and coffee, and soft drinks all laid on. There was a pleasant garden space with its own separate, stocked kitchen as well as that within the main house. The shower room was clean and modern, reflecting the decor throughout. The entire apartment was equivalent to a 5 star hotel, but with all the additional benefits of a self contained apartment and separate living space. In terms of location, it was perfect. It's situated immediately between the modern city of Pompeii, and the ancient excavations of the Roman city, both of which are within 5 minutes walk, There's a cool bar on one side, and a higher-end restaurant on the other. It's near the two stations in Pompeii, which gave us easy access for day trips to Naples, Herculaneum, Paestum, and to the beaches at Agropoli. In sum, this was the perfect location for a wonderful apartment, with a most generous and considerate host. Faultless.

Nothing. This was the best and most personal and helpful check-in I've ever had from an apartment host, and the apartment itself and its location, could not have been better.

The apartment is central with easy access to the ruins of Pompeii, and also to the train stations. You are spoiled for choice for cafe's and restaurants in this location. The host is extremely kind and friendly, he even brought us for coffee and pastries on our first day and texted us frequently during the week to check if everything was going well. The apartment caters for your every need in a practical way, and is spacious, beautiful and comfortable. I would recommend this apartment highly, you will enjoy your stay. We already looking forward to going back.

Everything: location, hospitality, the candy, coffee & prosecco; the big yard

Really excellent stay - location was ideal and it suited us with teenagers perfectly. Hosts were fabulous, meeting us and dropping us back to the station and were available on text for any problems. Kitchen was properly equipped to cook full meals if desired but within waking distance of plenty of restaurants and an amazing ice cream/bakery a few metres away. Very close to one of the entrances to ruins (less than 5 mins walk)

The accommodation was next door to a pub with outdoor space and it was quite noisy in the evening - maybe an issue if you have young children / light sleepers (didn’t bother us).

Miriam’s House is the most perfect flat I could ever imagine booking for our time in Pompeii! At the last minute, our itinerary changed, and by great fortune, Miriam’s House was available. And wow, it truly is a luxury accommodation! From the moment I booked, Francesco and Daniele were the most superb hosts I’ve ever encountered in my travels. They greeted us at the house, and we couldn’t believe that it could be more beautiful and well appointed than even the pictures and listing’s description. Every single detail of Miriam’s House is pristine, well thought out, and just beautiful. Olga, Francesco’s mother and Daniele’s grandmother, had baked cookies and candies that were awaiting us, as well as cold water and limoncello in the refrigerator. Every single item inside the home is brand new, top of the line, and coordinating. And, every single item outside in the private courtyard impressed us too - a foosball table, ping pong table, basketball goal, outdoor seating, and also an outdoor television. The beds and bedding were so comfortable, and we slept so well. The location could absolutely not be more perfect for touring the archaeological Pompeii site, or the town of Pompeii. One of the main entrances to Pompeii is literally around the corner from the flat, as are endless amazing restaurants, cafes, shopping, and the town square and Cathedral. As women travelers, we could not have felt more safe, both in location and the safety and design of Miriam’s House. Now, to express our gratitude for Francesco’s and Daniele’s most phenomenal Napoli kindnesses. After check-in, they took us for a proper Italian espresso and pastry at the most beautiful pasticceria, and made excellent recommendations for lunch and dinner. We were worried about our taxi needs to the Napoli airport, as we needed to leave at a really early morning hour. They made sure our ride to the airport was on time. I can’t express what a relief this was too.

Absolutely nothing, it truly is perfect!!!
