"Villa Ella" with garden near Pompeii

Four of us stayed 5 nights at Villa Ella in Trecase (near Pompeii ruins, Herculaneum ruins, Mt. Vesuvius, and the Amalfi coast). It was a 20 minute drive from Naples on A3. The host and hostess live on the second floor and were readily available with assistance of all sorts. We had a secure parking spot inside the gate of their property. The apartment has 3 bedrooms (we rented 2 of them), 2 bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a living room/dining room combination with television. We also had access to the lovely garden with a canopied dining area, and a second grape-arbor-covered dining area. The rental was an easy walk to the train station for travel to the Pompeii ruins. We drove to Herculaneum ruins in Ercolano, to the hiking trail to the Mt. Vesuvius crater, and to Sorrento to swim in the sea at a Roman ruins site, all easily reached. (Each of these sites had parking.) We walked down the hill to the beach several times to swim. The return walk helped to burn off calories from the wonderful local food. The home also has 3 Bed and Breakfast rooms called IL GATTO ROSSO.

Only problem was trying to turn the car into and out of the gated parking spot on a somewhat busy street. However, with one of us standing on the roadside waving traffic to stop, the car went in very nicely.

Met by Tina, who was friendly and accommodating. Lovely apartment with a small welcome pack of biscuits, juices and water. Apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious for our needs, with a lovely garden. Conveniently situated for the Circumvesuviana train station and a few stops away from Pompeii. Small corner shop a few meters away for your basic essentials. No kettle to boil water, but we overcame that. Good all round experience.

We had a lovely 6 night stay here in March 2018. The owners Silvio and Tina were waiting for us at the airport ( they charge a perfectly reasonable €30 each way for this), it was so nice to see their welcoming smiles and not have to worry about negotiating public transport/taxis. We have to say a big Thankyou to them as well for running us down to the local large supermarket on our first evening as it being a Tuesday the nearest small supermarket was closed. The apartment is the ground floor of Silvio and Tina’s house, it is spacious with lovely high ceilings and very quiet despite the busy Italian streets. The apartment had everything we needed, a well equipped kitchen, spacious sitting room and nice quiet bedrooms with plenty of wardrobe space. There was a lovely breakfast welcome tray for us with biscuits, croissants, jam, 4 large bottles of water and coffee for the espresso machine.The Circumvesuviana commuter train station is a short walk downhill from the apartment, this runs between Naples and Sorrento. We took this train everyday at a cost of €1.30 each way, to travel to Pompeii twice (Pompeii station is within 100m of site entrance), to travel to Herculaneum (Ercolano Scavi station, then walk downhill through town towards sea and there is the Herculaneum, you can also get transport up the volcano from here), to visit the Naples Archeological Museum (take train to Naples central then one stop on metro to Cavour station and short walk to the museum) and to visit Sorrento. The train runs roughly every 30 mins and the time tables are in the apartment. The station local to the apartment is called Trecasse. We also walked down to the sea from the apartment, there is a long black sand beach and a harbour also a long street of shops. Remember a lot of shops close between 1pm and 5pm but are then open until 8pm. Small shops also close on a Tuesday. The apartment has a pretty garden with fruit trees and outside dining area. From the front of the house you can see Mount Vesuvius and from the kitchen window you can glimpse the sea. We found this to be a great location for visiting the sites owned by a lovely couple. We highly recommend this property and hope to visit again in the future.

This was a great apartment to relax and feel a home. The apartment had one large room with a double bed and a second smaller room with two single beds (great for non-couple or kids). The kitchen was a nice size with essential cooking supplies and also had a relaxing living room. The best feature is the outdoor courtyard and garden area. We spent a lot of time enjoying the courtyard. The owners of this rental are awesome! Only drawback is the circumvesuviana train can be crowded and is similar to a metro subway (may not want to be out late) and can be crowded at times (can be challenging with luggage). Plus: Circumvesuviana train is very inexpensive and stops right at Pompei entrance and Naples central train station if you are taking day trips.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen, sehr sehr nette Vermieter. Danke! Wir haben am Anfang ein Willkommenspaket erhalten, einfach Spitze. Zu Ostern hat sie uns einen frisch gebackenen Kuchen geschenkt, sehr nett und lecker. Die Ferienwohnung hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Sehr sauber, sehr schick und alles vorhanden. Reichlich Geschirr, Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine, eine sehr schöne Terrasse wo wir draußen gefrühstückt haben. Wir hattenimmer unsere Privatsphäre. Die Betten waren bequem. Preis-Leistung trifft voll zu. Das einzige ist das es keinen Parkplatz gibt und die Ferienwohnung an der Straße liegt, aber das hat uns alles nicht gestört da die FEWO sehr sehr schön ist. Die FEWO liegt sehr zentral zu allen Urlaubsunternehmungen. Die Vermieterin Tina hat uns sehr gute Tips gegeben wo man dort sehr gut essen gehen kann. War sehr lecker. In der FEWO liegen genügend Prospekte aus was man in der Nähe unternehmen kann. Wi haben den Urlaub dort genossen und würden die FEWO mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Einfach freundlich, nett und top.
