Beautiful and Peaceful Stay
The place is exactly what we expected from the listing. The apartment is located in midst of a beautiful garden and in a gated space close to the main house. It is very spacious and very well equipped. There are 3 outdoor eating areas in this apartment which is a wonderful way to enjoy Sonia's flowers and unique garden treasures. Great proximity by car to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples. Sonia is a wonderful host and is very knowledgeable on the history of the area. Would definitely book this place again! Thank you Sonia, it was very nice to get to know you and your mom.

Lovely building all to ourselves in Ercolano
Lodging is in a second building behind the main residence with patios all around and wonderful places to enjoy the outdoors. The beds are upstairs while there are 2 bathrooms both with showers - one upstairs and one down. The kitchen was well stocked and even supplied with coffee for the morning and a starter kit of breakfast. The Circumvesuviana train station was a 15 minute walk, not difficult, connecting us to everything we wanted. We were able to go to Paestum one day even (for Greek ruin variety from the Roman ruins in Pompeii and Herculaneum). Sonya shared the contact of her friend a taxi driver who took us places as well - he was great! Though neither Sonya nor her friend spoke much English, we used WhatsApp and translation apps to help us through. Our only potential difficulty was that the taxi drivers from Naples had a REALLY hard time locating the address. We had 2 different ones get lost coming from Naples. I found the VRBO directions most accurate, though the drivers really wanted to doubt them! But the place to stay was comfortable and adequate. We used the washer for one load but it leaked on the second load - but Sonya got it fixed while we were gone during the day (after asking if she could come in). The clothes were pretty slow to dry though so between how long the tiny washers in Italy take to wash and drying everything on a rack, we weren't able to get much laundry done there. We ended up going to the laundromat. Would recommend this place to others!

Belle Maison au pied du Vesuve
Belle maison indépendante dans un jardin magnifique. L'hôtesse nous a reçue chaleureusement. Idéalement, situé entre Naples et Pompei. La gare pour se rendre à Naples est à 10 min à pied puis 10-15 min de train. Un grand merci à Sonia pour son accueil !
