Villa Giulia - Vesuvio Guest House Pompei Sorrento

Villa Giulia is very conveniently located near the area's main attractions (Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast), which you can easily access from the Circumvesuviana station just a 5-minute walk away, while your car can be left safely in the villa's parking lot. However, what makes Villa Giulia truly special are the people there: Rafaella and Agostino, who made us feel like family; Pina, who provided us with all the information we needed and Rino, who made sure we had high-quality music. We already miss them and the wonderful atmosphere there!

Le camere e i mini appartamenti prenotati sono puliti e coerenti con le descrizioni, staff eccezionale e cordiale.

Unico neo avevamo prenotato tramite booking con la culla per un bimbo di un anno e mezzo che invece non è stata disponibile.

Le logement était impeccable, propre et bien aménagé. Le lit très confortable, la salle de bain très pratique et fonctionnelle. L'emplacement était parfait pour les visites que nous avions prévu (côte Almafitaine, Castadelmare, Capri, Pompéi...). Les petits déjeuners étaient adaptés à nos demandes (sucrés ou salés) et très copieux. Le service était de qualité, toujours avec le sourire, Pita et Rafaela ont été débordantes d'attention, de bienveillance et se sont merveilleusement adaptées à tous nos besoins. Encore 1000 mercis pour le petit service rendu à la poste du village alors que nous n'avions pas eu le temps de le faire. Le lieu d'accueil est superbe, le décor de la cour intérieure était très joli et aux couleurs de l'ambiance italienne... Tout le monde a été aux petits soins. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le fait que Pita parle un français courant, nous avons pu ainsi échanger et appris plein de chose, la vie de Naples, les coutumes notamment en lien avec le Vésuve, les fêtes de fin d'années, la vie quotidienne napolitaine (école, vie de tous les jours...). Pita est un puit d'informations et répond spontanément à nos questions. Nous avons apprécié nos petites discussions les 2 soirées en sa compagnie et celle de son mari et Raféla. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié leur disponibilité, elles étaient aux petits soins avec nous, c'était très agréable. Grazié mille

Tout était parfait

The hotel has several rooms across two floors. Our room was spacious and clean, and the location is very convenient — it’s easy to reach Pompeii, Vesuvius, and Naples. There’s a decent-sized parking area for 4–5 cars on the opposite side of the road, behind a gate. Getting in and out is a bit tricky because the road is narrow and quite busy, but you get used to it (typical Italian traffic). That said, a few practical things were missing. There were no trash bags, no cloth to wipe the table or floor, and no sponge for the dishes. A little oil and salt would also have been helpful. The kitchen is equipped very minimally — it can work for 1–2 people, but not really for more.

The hotel itself is fine, but our stay was spoiled by the pet policy and how it was handled. As soon as we entered the property (we hadn’t even seen the room yet), we were given a list of rules. One of them was that the dog cannot be left alone in the room at any time. This was never mentioned in the house rules or anywhere on the booking page. If we had known this in advance, we simply would not have booked here — we already had tickets to places where dogs are not allowed, and with 40°C outside, it was completely unrealistic to take the dog with us everywhere. Our dog is very quiet, friendly and well-behaved. Even so, the moment she took a few steps outside the room, we were immediately told to put her on a leash. The whole experience felt unwelcoming and made it clear that the hotel is not truly pet-friendly. Advice to other guests traveling with pets: Please contact the hotel and double-check all dog-related rules before booking. Do not rely only on what is written on Booking. The restrictions can seriously affect your plans. It would be much better if the hotel either clearly listed all pet rules in advance or simply stopped accepting dogs. In response: The dog was always on a lead; only once did she accidentally get out of room one for a couple of steps, as the children had left the door open, and she stopped before she even reached me, she knew full well that she wasn’t welcome. And a lead doesn’t help with dog hair, either outside or inside the room; if it’s unwelcome, you simply need to remove the permission to stay with dogs so as not to stress the owners on arrival with new rules about pets and avoid complaints about dog hair. I cleaned up almost every day, as I know full well what it’s like to live with a dog, and your husband even saw me with the broom, which I found myself. Overall, your response is exactly the same as your general attitude. Out of the five hotels we stayed at on this trip, you were the only ones where we felt like unwelcomed.
