Villa Eteria Casa indipendente panoramica vicino Pompei

Spacious apartment, clean and well maintained, in quiet location with fantastic view of Vesuv. The kitchen is very well equipped and stocked, including supplies for breakfast. Even slippers and bathrobes were provided! Owner was very helpful and responsive.

The direct access road is still closed, requiring a substantial detour to reach the place. Short on large bath towels.

The view, the space, the food, everything!

Water in shower

Stunning view over the vesuvio. Stayed over there for one week. Enough space to relax after being out visiting the amalfi coast all day. Useful to have a drink and food "bar" at home, if you need anything you can purchase from home. Car needed to go around terasse is big enough with comfy chaise longues

Garden downstairs is shared as there is another b&b (thought the whole place would be ours, maybe i misread) Kitchen is quite small to properly cook, it would be great to have it re-done. Dishwasher would have been great too :)

We absolutely loved this property. The view is incredible and it was very spacious. It has two double bedrooms (both with their own bathrooms), a kitchen with a dining table, and then a separate sitting area off the dining room with a single bed. Plenty of space for our family of four. The property has a little shop so you can buy affordable basics to make dinner. The owner left lots of yummy treats for us to eat too including plenty of milk and juice. It is about 30 minutes walk to the nearest restaurant (a pizza place with an incredible view and very affordable). We loved staying here as it wasn't touristy at all especially compared to places like Sorrento that are absolutely heaving with tourists and very expensive. You can walk to an interesting castle up the hill. The town of Castellammare is a not very flash (again, especially compared to Sorrento) but we liked being away from the tourists and feeling like we were in an authentic Italian town. We did the Walk of the Gods (combined with a visit to Positano and Amalfi), a trip to Capri (combined with Sorrento), and a trip to Pompeii. We hired a car (which I think you need if you stay here) and the driving was pretty hair-raising. The Walk of the Gods is stunning but it was incredibly difficult to get back to our car in Bomerano from Amalfi (after catching a ferry from Positano) because the public buses were crowded and Italians do not line up to get on - people were literally fighting to get on. Very stressful. One thing that was a bit strange was that the owner of the property told us it was difficult to get from where we were staying to Sorrento because an earthquake had affected the train line. He said I could pay his friend to drive me one way for 50EURO. In fact, the trains were running brilliantly - my husband dropped me at the train it is cost only 2.40 EURO and took half the time of driving. We also easily got a train to Naples. Anyway, loved staying here and would happily recommend!

The house was perfectly appointed with everything we could need and the view was incredible!

The road to the house was closed and created a challenge for accessing the property. Directions provided by the host were not completely clear. However once we arrived we were in heaven!

I can’t even express how incredible is this location. It exceeded any of our expectations. We almost ditched our plans and stayed there for a longer period of time.

the location utterly amazing, the views are stunning, the villa has everything you need and the host had left us fresh strawberries in the fridge as well as having a shop on site for things you might need. The beds are comfortable , easy parking not from the shops .

nothing at all it was perfect x

Fantastic stay. Beautiful quiet location, very comfortable and clean, property larger than it looks, some basic grocery supplies and house wine, beer available to purchase at the property and reasonably priced, nice selection of ninnles for breakfast and well equipped kitchen. Very friendly and helpful host who doesn't try to rip you off and has given us a lift to town and back a couple of times. The owner was speedy to respond on the messenger. Thank you very much. Just in case listing isn't quite clear - you get 2 double bedrooms with a large double bed and private bathroom in each and a single bed that is in front room. We couldn't quite work this out from the original listing. The property is not shared with anyone else but the garden is.

Distance from town was greater than we thought. Maps are a little misleading, also the last bus up to this location was at 7.30pm. Buses are also very unreliable, but that's not the property's fault. Just be prepared to use taxi or hire a car if you brave enough to drive in Italy! Some privacy screen would have been great for a single bed that is in the front room. Boiler a little temperamental. Would have appreciated some fresh bread and butter for breakfast, but kids loved the cake!

As a family of five we had loads of space. Came by car, quite last minute, but everything was perfect. The reviews about steep access roads almost put me off, but they are exaggerated; nothing a fiat panda with five people couldn’t easily take 😁 Private parking spot. And great description how to get to the house. We ate oranges from the garden. Nice restaurants close by and do not forget to walk up to the castle!
