Everything at the resort was exceptional! In particular, we really enjoyed the wine tour. The guide, Giuseppe, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the excellent selection of wine we were offered. Moreover, the food was topnotch and the breakfast was great, too.

    They gave me a free upgrade from a double room in the annexe to a double room in the main building. The room was spacious and clean with modern furniture. The balcony was exceptionally spacious. The air conditioning worked perfectly well. The hotel was located 12 minutes from the main train station that takes you to Napoli ( 20 minutes) and 5 minutes from the bus station (bus 808) that takes you to Vesuvius and Pompei. The pool was big enough, not very crowded and with enough sun beds in the shade or in the sun. Swimming caps are mandatory, and you can buy one from the pool guy for 2 €. Breakfast was ok, not great, not bad! Private parking with enough parking spots.

    I had an emergency situation and found myself looking for a hotel at midnight. I was welcomed at Villa Colombia with a level of professionalism, discretion and politeness that is today hard to find. I ended up staying two days, the service was always great, the room was very comfortable and beautiful, the building is gorgeous and surrounded by trees and with two swimming pools to start or end the day with a quick plunge and some sun bathing.

    Rich decorated building. Very nice territory. We slept well, enjoyed our breakfast and spent some very peaceful hours here. There was some event in the evening in the banquet hall, but it doesn't interfere. Seems that it's a place for events so may be it's not so comfortable in other days We loved rose bushes (red and white) and saw two cats black and white. I think there can be a kind of story :)

Good location with restaurants, cafes and supermarkets all within about 200m. Verandah was huge and I would only suggest the hosts perhaps put a little table and chair out there for sitting.

    We stayed for 2 nights during a trip to Italy as we wanted to visit Pompei and Vesuvius. We honestly wish we could have stayed longer, but had made accommodation and travel plans in advance. Mena and Luigi are the most welcoming hosts you could possibly hope for. They showed us around the property and ensured we felt incredibly well looked after. The property is an oasis of calm close to the archaeological sites and to Mount Vesuvius. Breakfast is wonderful, and dinner in the restaurant is worthy of a visit alone.

    It was close to a train line and it was easy to get to Naples. Also the location was good as it was in the middle and we could go to Naples and to Amalfi coast, Pompeii from here with little problem. The traffic in Naples is chaos so it was good that we could get there by train and then use the metro from there.

    This area was quite calm in comparison to Pompeii or Naples.

    This area was quite calm in comparison to Pompeii or Naples. A big advantage are the views of the sea and the surrounding towns, and you can also see Mount Vesuvius. The roads were broken in places and very dirty full of rubbish, which is typical of all the nearby towns. For traveling with a smaller car it is OK, with a bigger car I would be afraid of the narrows and wild traffic.

    The hotel is an Italian villa built in 1711, with a lot of Baroque decoration in the building and surrounding park. Our room (a junior suite) was large, with a small balcony and separated bathroom/toilet. We even had a jacuzzi bath, functioning. The fittings however were oldish and the provided amenities did not live up to a 5 star hotel standard. Breakfast was decent but monotonous, again not living up to a 5 star hotel standard. The hotel is a venue for social events (marriages, birthdays etc) involving a high level of noise, loud music and fireworks most of the nights (in our case 8 out of the 9 nights we spent there) up to well past 11 pm and sometimes later. Take this in consideration if you like to come to an oasis of calm and serenity after a long day in the Italian heat. You'll not find it in this hotel. Parking is available and free even if crowded at evenings with the vehicles of the guests to one of the events. The pool is nice looking but I never saw one person using it and there always was an underwater cleaning robot doing its thing in the morning. It seems the pool is more of a decorative item than a usable guest amenity. All things considered our stay at the hotel was pleasant, the evening noise bearable with the help of ear plugs and the TV allowed me to connect an Amazon FireTV stick and enjoy my favourite entertainment without being restricted to Italian TV programs.

    Similarly as in Napoli centre - here also there are a lot of cars, people simply do not walk, traffic is a mess, there is a lot of trash and dirt, public transport is not so developed. A few people speak English. On the other hand, Pompeii and Herculaneum are worth seeing and that is why you should visit the town. Although many people claim that the coast is amazing (Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento), I would say that the eastern-south part of Italy is better. If you are not from Italy, do not drive your own car there because you will shorten your own life for nothing.

    I have an interest in ancient Roman history (from reading the novel by Robert Harris) and on that basis I ended up spending two days at the site (not one as originally planned). I think even spending a full day there 9am-7pm would exhaust all but the most dedicated traveller, given the heat in peak Summer (when I travelled). Also, bring some decent footwear: the narrow paved areas on each side of the street mean you have to keep jumping off to walk along the road itself which has very irregular stones which are a trip hazard. Gets busy, lots of tour buses. I didn't go as part of an organised tour, but what I did get and found useful was the audio tour guide thing that you can purchase from the visitor centre office before you go in. This provides basic information on each building once you key in the number. There is water available on site that you can use to fill up a bottle. Cafe on site also but was so busy, I didn't even think of joining the queue. I paid the extra 6 Euro for the visit to the villas, outside the main site and thought it was worth it. In fact I couldn't believe that the building I was walking through was over 2000 years old, it looked from the outside like 50 years at the most.
