Vemaga Luxury Stay in Pompeii

Veronica and max met us, even though we arrived late. They looked after us so well and went the extra mile to make our stay superb. Breakfast was delicious, and the location was brilliant for the Pompeii ruins. just a short walk away. We had fun communicating with them through Google translate, but it really worked. All the bedrooms were very clean and comfortable.

This upscale B&B offers spacious, comfortable accommodations and contemporary design overlooking a noisy street (despite insulated windows) in downtown Pompeii that is close to several fine dining locations. Breakfast is included in the room rate (which is often not the case in Italian B&B’s, despite their use of that term)) and is quite copious, featuring a choice of some fresh fruits and cereals, an orange juice press and espresso and milk foamer machines; however, no hot food or fresh bakery products are available, just some supermarket cold cuts, bread and crackers. The closest entrance to the Pompeii archeological site at the Amphitheater entrance is a 15-minute walk. Be careful about taking trains to Naples or other nearby archeological sites, as Pompeii has three station stops, each on a different line, with one of the two Circumvesuviana stops (serving Herculaneum) that is near the Forum entrance and Villa dei Misteri more than 30 minutes’ walk from the B&B. The Trenitalia train serving Naples and a couple of intermediate stops is faster but much more expensive than the Circumvesuviano local trains. Free parking is possible (but not assured) in the private side street where the building entrance is located.

We were unhappy when the owner Veronica refused our request to leave our luggage for a few hours after the 11:00am checkout, which would have enabled us to visit an important nearby archeological site, even though other guests who arrived that morning were given breakfast and allowed to leave their luggage despite the official check-in time being 4:00pm. She told us that those guests were accorded special treatment because they had previously stayed at the B&B and were considered “friends”, whereas we must have been in some lesser category. Hospitality should be even-handed! The advertised daily room cleaning consisted of little more than a hastily made bed. The breakfast room in the entrance area adjoins the guest rooms and was noisy with the slamming of the front door or when the hot-tempered cleaning lady was shouting at someone on the phone.

Wonderful. The host, the stay, the breakfast, the location!!! All Wonderful!

Very large spacious room, decorated nicely, large great bathroom, large bath towels, breakfast available as part of service

It was not marked well and walked past building 2 times before found. The street noise of honking horns could be heard until past bed time.

The location was very central, close to the attractions we wanted to see in Pompeii, as well as close to the train station to get to other locations. The breakfast selections were extensive and super.

An extra chair in the room would have been nice for the time we were there, but we got along without it.

The location of the stay is perfect. It is close to the Scavi and in a calm small lane next to a bigger street. The service was fantastic and the rooms new and fresh.The breakfast had everything you want not only “dolce”😀 Many good restaurants and cafés nearby. Very easy if you go by car to Vesuvio🌋 We can highly recommend Vemaga👍

Nothing

Very clean and fresh!

All was great!

The accomodation was superb and it was beyond our expectation. It's located near the city centre and both train stations. Breakfast was various even with possibility of fresh juice. Coffee maker and microwave were available all the time. Minibar was free of charge. Owners were kind, helpful and friendly.

The room was gorgeous - everything is very new and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning was excellent and the bathroom was lovely. Location was excellent - a short walk to the ruins and even shorter walk to many restaurants and stores. Veronica's breakfast spread at the hotel was one of the best we've ever had. The owners were so helpful and friendly. VEMAGA is wonderful. Staying in Pompeii was great. Much cheaper than Naples and made a good base for exploring Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum.

We arrived early and they were still very welcoming. Very spacious and spotlessly clean suite. Large bed and double shower, two balconies with nice views. Clean bedding and towels everyday. Beautiful coffee and fresh breakfast each morning. Location is 10 mins walk to Pompei train station and 30 min to Pompei ruins, 5 minutes to restaurants. Naples to Pompei train is 30-40 minutes one train. Naples airport to Naples train station is one direct bus called Alibus. All very manageable. There is a mini fridge, safe, and two televisions, sofa for sitting area. We asked for an iron and they ironed the t shirts for us. Overall very lovely place and we would definitely stay here again. Owers seem to live on site so never far away. Veronica doesn’t speak English but we still managed a conversation and laughs with Google translate, a lovely lady. Thank you for being so kind.

Not a property issue and completely out of their control, but the traffic noise from the crazy drivers and their horns! starts at 07:30 and was still going on at 22:30. I think it’s just the Italian way of driving. Take ear plugs.
