Everything seems so new and the people are so helpful. (CP, USA on Venere.com)

..but the people were really friendly and helpful and directions to the hotel were brilliant. (Anonymous)

Nice clean hotel – staff was very accomodating, nice little
balcony. (CD, US On Venere.com)

The front of house staff and those serving breakfast were welcoming and helpful and didn’t appear to tire of our constant requests to get the car in and out of the garage! (Anonymous, Venere.com)

The breakfast was generous and the service was outstanding. Antonio made some great recommendations and was eager to see that we were well taken care of. (Nchatin, USA)

Nothing was too much trouble for Antonio who made us very welcome. He offered restaurant recommendations and hotels in other areas we were visiting – all turned out to be great and Antonio definitely walks that extra mile for his guests! (Marles, UK)

Staff gave us good tips to better enjoy the visit , since the site is on a wide area. Theyve also been very helpful about recommending restaurants and driving directions. (Augustin, Florida)

Book Pompei Hotel Amleto

Fodor’s, the American guidebook, writes the following about the Pompei Hotel Amleto.

Appassionati and connoisseurs of historical styles of furnishings will find this hotel a real treat. Enjoy the Pompeian-type mosaic in the reception room and the mesmerizing House-of-the-Vettii-type scene in the breakfast room before retiring to your quarters, either 19th-century Neapolitan in style or Venetian in taste. Convenient to say the least, this spot is near the archaeological site and close to Pompei’s cathedral. As traffic noise may be a problem, ask for a quieter room on the upper floor.

Hotel Amleto’s guests have this to say:

You could be anywhere in the world in a lot of four star hotels but we really did feel that we were in Italy at the Amleto.(Anonymous)

The front door of the hotel is always locked. Your pressed a bell to get in. I liked this as it made the hotel feel safe. (anonymous)

The marble stair case, upper deck sitting area and wonderful breakfast are just some of the highlights. (1Runner, UK)

We found the hotel to be immaculate, the rooms generous in size and very well equipped; the roof terrace to be a lovely calm place to enjoy the autumn sun; the public rooms to be comfortably furnished. (Rob and Jennifer)

The breakfast was so good and bounteous that it often served me for the first two meals of the day. (CP, USA on Venere.com)

We came out of season so it was difficult to comment as the breakfast was a bit stale as we were probably only guests.. (TR, United Kingdom, on Venere.com)

Breakfast is good, the coffee freshly made and excellent. (Marles, UK)

Hotel Amleto is close to both the Circumvesuviana and the Ferrovia, to the main town square, the Sanctuary, and to one of the main entrances to Pompeii.(CP, USA on Venere.com)

Nice design and great location. (SA, USA, on Venere.com)

… noisy neighborhood as a festival was going on. Excellent location to walk to ruins and into town. (CD, USA, on Venere.com)

Saying that, the hotel is great for visiting the archeological sites, accessing the autostrada and was just a few steps from the town square which is buzzing with atmosphere in the evening. (Anonymous, Venere.com)

The ruins of Pompeii are situated near the modern town of Pompei, just south of Naples.

There are several entrances to the ruins, that can easily be reached on foot from the modern city.

From Naples Pompeii can be visited through FS trains or through the so-called Circumvesuviana, which runs directly to the excavations.

From Rome it is best to take a train to Naples and then the Circumvesuviana, which makes for a very pleasant day trip.

There are several car parks near the archeological site.

In ancient times Pompeii would have been nearer the coast than it is nowadays. It was an important passage for goods that arrived by sea and had to be sent toward Rome or Southern Italy along the Appian Way.

The ground around Pompeii was very fertile and agriculture, oil and wine production were important.

Pompeii’s streets were straight and laid out in a grid, in the purest Roman tradition and had houses and shops on both sides of the street.

There was even a hotel (now nicknamed the “Grand Hotel Murecine) a short distance from the town.

Pompeii got its water from the Aqua Augusta aqueduct in Naples, built by Agrippa around 20 BC.
