the owners were lovely and the place was nice and clean. breakfast is provided in the form of longlife pastries, cakes etc individually wrapped in plastic, we bought our own fresh breads etc ,( there's a bakery nearby). The property is only a short walk from the railway station and rail travel is cheap , and its only a short distance to Pompeii and Sorrento by train. Castellammare di Stabia is normal Italian town and not full of tourists like Sorrento, there's a lovely promenade to walk in the evenings and lots of lovely ice cream shops!!

we didn't like the fact that to get to one bedroom you have to go through the other , which by the way does not have a window and was very dark even with the light on .It was explained to us that we were not able use the bath as there was no plug and we had to sit in the bath to use the shower head..... the apartment overlooks a busy road so opening the window made sleeping difficult due to noise levels, (there is no air con) , so opening a window is a must.( Life buzzes on well into the early hours of the morning)
