I don't think the photographs on the website show how nice the Villa Julia is. There is a wonderful view of Vesuvius from the lovely big garden. We had 2 adjoining rooms and a lovely big balcony. Breakfast was nice and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely go back and recommend it highly. It was quite... More

We enjoyed our stay at this seven roomed ex-family villa. Our car GPS was extremely useful in finding the location. We arrived at 5pm and the owner gave us keys for the electronic security gate, the front door and our room. From our balcony we had a marvellous view of Vesuvius. We had chosen this B&B because of its central... More

The inn and grounds are indeed a nice oasis, but can be difficult to get to. I'm very good with maps, but so few streets in modern Pompei had street signs that I had to get out and ask directions half a dozen times - and had to use my limited Italian every time. There are two ways to get... More

On a narrow lane at the back of the old site, with a view of Vesuvius. Small but pleasant rooms, better than average breakfast (eat in or outside) and very helpful staff. We were given a note to give to a car park next to the site entrance which gave us a day's parking for a very low rate. Opposite... More

We spent 2 nights at Hotel Julia. The service was excellent and when you are on the hotel grounds it feels like you are secluded from everything. Our balcony had a great view of Mt. Vesuvius and the hotel grounds seemed to go on and on forevre as they are connected to an orchard that never seemed to end and... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is in its own gated garden surround in the quiet countryside, yet is 10 mins walk to the ruins. The owner is very helpful providing maps and guidance to the ruins, the town and restaurants nearby. We had a lovely large room with a balcony overlooking Vesuvius. The only minus points were the...

Stayed in October 2012. Arrived after check in time, not realizing there was a specific check in time, (fortunately his neighbor, a nice old man, called owner) and that seemed to set the tone with the owner for the rest of our time spent there. We apparently interupted his lunch and was annoyed with us after that. Spoke little or... More

We made the mistake of arriving at 1:15 pm and missed check in. The office closes from 1:00 to 4:00 every day. You won't be able to get past the metal gate of the driveway until the owner returns. Once you check in you will get a key that will open the gate. The staff was friendly but spoke very... More
