Villa Avellino Historic Residence

Accommodate is good, too bad the hair dryer was not working properly only on cold air, this can be fixed. We stayed while there was a wedding reception so very noisy with loud music till late. Location not very good for tourists.

Pros: Location: few steps from city center, train station and close to attractions like the amphitheater and Rione Terra. Structure: Historical building that dates from the XVI century, passing through many owners, one of them an Italian archaeologist (where the name came from). Carefully and smartly restored with detailed attention; symmetrical corridors, stairs and arches. Rooms: Really comfy. We got a room with loft, very comfy, perfect for families and complete of kitchenette. Food: The bistrot in the ground floor. All breakfasts were served in the courtyard (chic dining under the stars!) with individual trays (continental breakfast, croissant, melba toasts, yogurt, sweet mousse, butter, juices and hot beverage). Possible to have others like omelettes at an extra cost. In one occasion we had lunch there which we ordered a pasta dish, club sandwich and beverages, were plentiful. Services: we appreciated the most: carpark and laundry room. Staff: All professional and friendly, the most sympathetic are the restaurant guys. Cons: Wasn’t a big issue but a deeper cleansing of the rooms, some repairing, repainting and removing molds will make it not just great but grandiosely outstanding! We adored staying there and we missed it when we arrived to our next hotel. P.S.1 There are some Roman era structures in the premises of this hotel like the cistern, not in good shape to visit and lots of Roman era artifacts were found here and they are exposed in the museum-castle in Bacoli under the street name. P.S.2 Certain times can smell the rotten-eggs smell, is normal we are in the Phlegraean Fields.
