Villa de Cillis Carafa in Torre del Greco

Based on other excellent reviews and images of the Villa and rooms, our expectations were high. Thankfully we were not disappointed and everything exceeded expectations, from the initial warm welcome through to departure. Breakfast was super delicious with fresh fruit and freshly baked bread, croissants and local pastry delicacies. The setting (Villa, gardens, jacuzzi and Vesuvius in the background) was something special. Hosts Adi and Fabio and owner Antonio were all very friendly, readily available, offered great advice to experience the local area at its best, and always available to assist when needed. A much better experience than staying at a hotel. And whilst the Villa is near the E45 motorway, you don't notice the road noise, certainly not inside.
Just how good a service really is, you will not truly experience until something goes wrong (not unlike a good insurance company). We had an unpleasant experience with our rental car following a puncture where our car was taken from us by a tow truck driver not speaking any English. Leaving us stranded without any transport to get to the airport the next day, Fabio helped us by speaking to our rental company in Italian on our behalf, and arranging a taxi transfer to the airport. Super!
Fabio, Adi, Antonio – you have all been amazing and made our stay at the Villa a relaxed and wonderful experience. We wish we could give more than a 5-star rating here. Thank you for letting us be a guest at your villa. Grazie mille a tutti.

In general, I liked the villa, but I wouldn’t give it a very high rating. It’s quite far and not very convenient to get to. The hotel was not very clean during our two-day stay the sheets and towels were never changed. The terrace is shown everywhere in the photos, but in reality you can only access it if you book the room with balcony. That’s also where the best sea view is. Overall, it’s fine for one night, but I wouldn’t stay longer.

We had an amazing nights stay. The hotel is so unique, a real sanctuary! Fantastic views of Vesuvius and also the sea from breakfast. The rooms are decorated in keeping with the history of the building but with a modern and inventive twist. The breakfast was very nice too. But to top all of this, was the most helpful and friendly service from Fabio, which really made our stay.

Not happy changing our room in the middle of our reservation
We left prematurely to Naples.
A place to rest… not much activity in the area…
A couple of good restaurants with car

Great location near the base of Mount Vesuvius located in between Herculaneum and Pompeii so if you wanted to do both you can. Great service excellent breakfast and very relaxing. We had a wonderful time there. Very peaceful if looking to getaway from the normal grind.

My new favorite place to stay.
Very beautiful, clean, quiet and staff is very friendly. Antonio, Fabio and Adi are very nice and helpful. They gave us great recommendations where to go and where to eat. Highly recommended place to stay.

We really enjoyed the staff here as they were always asking how our excursions went and if we didn't have anything planned, they'd be happy to set something up for us. We got a tour of the property and the gardens when we arrived. Super quiet and relaxing place to stay!

Antonio and his team took great care of us, it was a pleasure to stay at the villa. Recommend anyone looking for a getaway from Naples!

This hotel was a real find. The hotel & grounds were sensitively restored & this gave it a unique atmosphere. Everyone was friendly, welcoming & happily gave us advise about the area & suggested restaurants. We would not hesitate & re-book, if we visit this area again!
