Fittacamere Villa Flora

Visited April 2022. The reception staff were welcoming. However, a very poor experience otherwise. The room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke; the en-suite is in desperate need of renewal (I was concerned that there was an overflow pipe from somewhere above leading into the shower cubicle); very uncomfortable bed (needs repair or renewal); newly fitted kitchenette area; the saving grace was the balcony. We had the better room! Our travelling companions had more issues and were promised a change of room - however this never materialised. I would not take family here as sound proofing very poor and much audible evidence of 'romantic liaisons' both during the day and night.

The service is wonderful. Highly recommend it. Rosa and Alexandra at the front office were most helpful with our excursions. We did some research before arriving but with all the options online didn’t know what would work best for us. We decided to go to Pompeii and hope for the best. The best is what we got! Thanks girls. They got us a tour of the ruins (that was cheaper than what is offered by the tourist stands near the front gate) and we got a personal guide too – not part of a larger group. And they connected us with a service that drove us to Mount Vesuvius on the same day we arrived. They also offered a 10% discount at Caupona, a Roman themed restaurant across the street: We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. On a side note, that has nothing to do with Villa Flora, stay away from the coffee shop at the hotel next door. THIS PLACE WILL RIP YOU OFF!!! 9€ for a cup of coffee!!! (Come si dice “tourist trap?”) We order two cups of coffee and sat outside to plan our day out. When we went in to pay, we were charged 9€ for each cup. We were told if we stood at the bar it would have been cheaper. Yes, we know this. We actually live in Italy, but up north. In a normal (honest establishment) it might cost an extra Euro to sit at a table. You’re better off making coffee from the mocha pot and coffee grounds Villa Flora offers inside of your room.
