The apartment is in Corbara, which is a small town, a few minutes' drive up the hill from the Angri exits of the A3 autostrada. It is convenient for Pompeii (a ten minute drive) and Naples (a less-than-30 minute drive in typical traffic). We used it as a base for visits to Naples, Herculaneum, Paestum, Pompeii, Capri. The road through the town continues south over the mountain to Amalfi.

Corbara is a real Italian town. We did not encounter a single other tourist or anyone who spoke English, but the citizens were mostly helpful and outgoing. A grocery and a butcher are a short walk away. There are good restaurants with friendly service. A larger supermarket is a few minutes' drive away in Angri, where there are banks and ATMs. The apartment overlooks the town piazza, which is very lively at night.

The apartment has a roomy kitchen and dining/living room. There is good air conditioning in each room. The top floor has a utility room and a spacious terrace with views of Vesuvius and the town piazza. There is no wifi, but we were able to use the wifi at the Hotel Valleverde, which is about a five minute drive up the hill. Parking can be scarce some nights, but we found a space whenever we needed one. If you have a car, this is a good base for exploring Naples, Campania, the Amalfi Coast and points south.
