Villa Mazza al Vesuvio

Beautiful setting of an old estate villa with a starter farm in a quiet picturesque area below mount Vesuvius. Gracious brother and sister hosts fixed meals and enabled transfer from Airport and later to our destination in sorrento.

Stairs only. A bit of a walk to the town area. Somewhat of a language barrier at times.

Nice room, excellent view great host

Beautiful surroundings and house, large rooms, nice breakfast area. Super peaceful. Host was very kind.

House was a bit hard to find - make sure you follow the instructions sent by the host rather than using Google Maps.

This is such a bucolic setting on a working farm in the foothills with Vesuvius in the background. The room is lovely and ours had a deck w views to Vesuvius. Had breakfast in their small vineyard with homemade jams and juices. Also, they have a nice selection of wine of which you may purchase. Bed was comfortable and bathroom quite spacious

It’s a trying drive at times on this one lane road to reach the farm. A challenge for us older Americans but European guests seemed fine with it

The food was amazing and the view was stunning

Not much

Excellent place! The house and rooms had such an Italian vibe that you find in romantic movies:) Very beautiful stay, also the staff was very welcoming and lovely.

Access to the location is challenging for bigger vehicles. The breakfast was nice, but a bit too light for a day. Also lacked salty choices.

The villa is a little remote, and you definitely need a car to get to it, but the views (Bay of Naples, Isle of Capri and Vesuvius itself from our room - 'Capri') are worth the effort. The location is much calmer than most of the surrounding area, and it's not often you get to stay on the side of an active volcano! Excellent location for visiting Pompeii/Herculaneum. Simona and her brother gave us a very pleasant welcome - we were made to feel special - although we were the only residents during our early season (March) visit. We enjoyed the personal touch. Simona cooked for us on one evening - two courses for a very reasonable 20 euros including wine. The room was clean, spacious, bright and has very high ceilings - it's nice to stay in a very old building like this. Heating/AC were good. The beautiful soft water for great showers and drinks!

If you're driving in this area you probably already know that the roads can be a slightly terrifying. The road up from Torre del Greco is mainly single track with limited passing places and lots of blind 90 degree turns. The final turn into the lane to the property is very tight indeed. Not for the faint-hearted. The bed and bedding was reasonably comfortable, but the mattress could have been better. There was no kettle in the room to make your own hot drinks, but Simona did provide (free) filtered/carbonated water. Breakfast is very Italian - mostly cakes and biscuits, tea or coffee, and quite minimal - but did the trick. We had problems connecting to the wifi and mainly used our own 4/5G phone connections. TV was limited to Italian channels. The bathroom was clean and charmingly decorated, although the shower is not very powerful.
