The entire family was incredible towards us (4 female students). Accommodations were lovely, the house is beautiful. They were above and beyond bringing us plates and glasses when we brought dinner back to eat on their terrace, making sure we had enough beds in our room and the breakfast was delicious. He also gave a fantastic dinner recommendation and a day in Portici exploring the local culture. Would easily go back!

Best B&B I've ever seen!
This is the best accommodation I've ever had. The room and premises overall were amazing, the hosts are incredibly kind and attentive, and the location is a lovely little town with connections to everything you need nearby. I even had a cooking lesson from the hosts which was fantastic! Thank you to Francesco and the family for having me!

We got the room that opened it to the garden. It was absolutely wonderful. The family that ran the B&B were very gracious and welcoming.

Staying here with my wife over four days was a cherished memory beyond what I could have expected. Most important for me were our warm and wonderful hosts, Emma ('Mama'), Nemo (the Dad) and Francesco (the son). In addition to being available for all our questions and concerns, being willing to translate for any travel arrangements, cooking for, eating with and virtually taking my wife into the family when she wrenched her back and could not go out for a day, volunteering to drive us to and from nearby restaurants in the area when she couldn't walk very far (to spare us the expense and trouble of a taxi), they were warm and gracious and took great pride in their Villa and wanting us to have a good experience. I can't imagine they could do that for all their guests, but these are the kind of people they are. One time we arranged a(n eight hour) day trip with Francesco to the Amalfi Coast for an extremely reasonable fee but ended up spending over eleven hours at no extra fee to accommodate our interests and so that we could savor things at our own pace. The Villa is unique; at one time it was the hunting lodge for the king of Naples. We had a spacious suite of rooms, the grounds are lovely and extensive, the interior is homey and yet grand. Cost: under 100 Euros per day. Highly recommended!

The house is beautiful and Emma’s hospitality is second to none, we stayed on s ground floor room with doors opening onto the lovely courtyard, there were fish and turtles in the small fountain and pond. If you are expecting all the mod-cons you get from a hotel, this may not be the place for you, what it does have is a wealth of charm and tradition, even down to the towells which are a kind of waffle cotton! I loved it, snd the views from the roof top terrace are amazing. A few things that would make it perfect would be a mirror in the bedroom near a power point for using s hairdryer and a small rug in the kitchen area as the tiled floor can be s bit slippery when you come out of the bathroom. Would definitely visit here again.

Surprisingly horrible stay
This is not a hotel, but a stay in a old and aged villa together with the elderly owners. They won’t give you a key of the villa and if you have a car they have to open the gate for you. If you’d like to come to the villa late or just after dinner (11:30pm) you have to message the son of the owners so he can open the doors for you (so I had to get a Skype subscription because Francesco does not have social media or WhatsApp). The beds are tremendously uncomfortable, old school springs mattresses and bases. The breakfast is non existent. Overall, there is no reception (so you’re not free to come in and out), it is uncomfortable, and they make you feel like it is almost a favor they make you to stay there. Maybe they are targeting a different type of traveler, but I’m 35, I’m a professional and married, I will not go back.

Convenient location for the Herculaneum excavations and a trip to mount Vesuvius, easy to get to and from Naples. Excellent hosts, nice garden. The villa itself is like a museum, yet it has everything we needed for a memorable stay.

Goed adres voor vernlijf in de buurt van Napels.
Een mooie villa in Portici, een buitenwijk van Napels. Heel groot en ruim. Een ouder echtpaar dat samen met zoon deze B&B bestiert. Kamer is prima, ruim. We hebben de kookworkshop gedaan die heel leuk en leerzaam was, zeker voor die prijs (35 euro pp). Het ontbijt was matig. Lauwe koffie, sap uit pak, verpakt brood en vleeswaren. Niet verse yoghurt, verhoog de prijs met een tientje en dat ontbijt kan veel beter. Je krijgt geen sleutel van het toegangshek, dus steeds bellen als je er in of er uit wilt. Dichtbij OV.

Alte Villa mit schöner Inneneinrichtung in wunderschönem gepflegtemn Garten. Großes Zimmer mit kleiner Küche und schönem eigenem Wintergarten/Terrasse, eher einfache Einrichtung aber urig. Frühstück mit wenig Käse, Wurst und Hörnchen in Plastik verpackt, aber viel Obst und leckere Kuchen/Kekse, etc. Insgesamt sehr ok aber wenig Abwechslung. Sehr liebevoll und hilfsbereit geführt von älterem Ehepaar. Lage: Obwohl Autostrade direkt hinterm Haus verläuft sehr (!) ruhig. Gute Parkmöglichkeit im Hof (5 Euro/Tag, sehr sicher und empfehlenswert), Bahn nach Pompeji oder Neapel in 15 Min. Fußweg, Ausgrabung Herculaneum in ca 25 Min Fußweg, mehrere Restaurants in ca 10 Min zu Fuß erreichbar. Insgesamt sehr urige und empfehlenswerte Unterkunft, auch für mehrere Tage geeignet.

Plutôt déçu
A l'occasion d'un séjour à Naples et ses environs, nous avons séjourné qq jours à la Villa San Gennariello. Le cadre est tout juste magnifique, très bucolique. Accueil agréable. Contacts toujours sympathiques bien que pas toujours évidents, du fait de la barrière de la langue, heureusement que le fils était là. Deux points noirs à déplorer : la qualité de la literie ! Pas du tout à la hauteur ! et, nos hôtes n'y sont pour rien, un chien dans le voisinage proche n'a cessé d'aboyer, jours et nuits !
