イル サン クリストフォロ(Il San Cristoforo)

Absolutely excellent stay! This hotel is gorgeous, a beautiful grand building set in beautiful grounds, with the added benefit of having Mount Vesuvius as the backdrop. The location of hotel is brilliant for Pompeii, Herculaneum, Mount Vesuvius, Naples, Sorrento, Salerno etc, and the regular shuttle to and from Ercolano train station was very welcome. We were made welcome from our first step into and last step out of the hotel. The reception staff, Giuseppe (shuttle driver) and restaurant staff were absolutely awesome, very helpful, friendly, professional, happy and accommodating. One of our best holidays ever! Highly recommended !

It was really pleasure to stay in this place, we got nice breakfast but sometimes they could a bit change to different options of breakfast, if someone plans to stay here everytime make a weddings party and music a bit louder every evening but we could enyoing fireworks every night to go in terrace and watch it pool its nice a bit cold, outside in the hotel very nice views, we are glad we had oppurtunity to stay in this hotel

This was the most beautiful and relaxing part of our trip! The accommodations were wonderful. The dining at The Line restaurant was excellent!

Difficult to be scathing in these challenging times but goodness! This was our first ‘Agri-hotel’, completely let down by inefficiency and incompetence, exemplified by being charged twice for our short trip. On the plus side, the setting is beautiful just under the mountain and v handy for Ercolano experience. Staff such as the shuttle driver into town and the friendly pool attendant were super but the service at breakfast was beyond parody and became almost comical - how surly and unhelpful can one waiter be? On the first floor bar which wasn’t ready at 19:30 even through open at 7pm (& we were sent up by reception) provided a small plate of snacks even though we didn’t order any but then proceeded to provide us with five more (sandwiches etc) which were completely surplus to requirements and obviously charged to our room. This is a wedding venue, make no mistake about it, and paying hotel guests are an after thought, not a priority. Examples being mini-bar empty on arrival “only available on request”; no ice in mini-bar for 3 days despite asking for it; broken dehumidifier not fixed despite asking for it; paper cups in room taken away on day 2 & not replaced. The much praised breakfast consists of porridge, scrambled eggs, bacon &/or grilled vegetables. Not exactly top notch eating for a B&B at £150 per night. Underwhelming is putting it mildly. Disastrous, more honestly

Unbelievably beautiful property. Very comfortable rooms and beds. Great food. Exceptional staff. I wish I would have had my wedding here! Pompeii and Herculaneum are fairly close. It's best if you have a rental car as this makes Naples and the Amalfi Coast accessible day trips. Otherwise, you can still take a taxi or train to Naples, but it's probably 45 minutes

The hotel itself was lovely. The grounds were beautiful and ALL the staff we met were so nice and helpful. Food at the restaurant was exciting and tasted amazing. Wish I’d chosen the tasting platter. Would love to stay here again.

We only had a short stay as we were travelling between Italy and Gozo. However, the family would have loved to stay for an extra day or two. Lovely grounds and pool area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Once you enter this resort it's a little piece of heaven and a great place to relax and enjoy some pool time for a few days. The staff and service are very nice and professional. The hotel and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. However, there are a lot of issues with staying in this area: For getting in and out of the resort you are dependent on a taxi service. There are 2 issues with that: 1-availability and 2-prices. For the first few days I was able to use my Uber app and was able to get around. During the weekend Uber was not available at all. Then you need to work with the hotel for a taxi option. Getting a taxi to a 15 min walking distance place is 15 Euros. Getting to Napoli is around 40Euros or so. To the airport it's 60Euros. So make sure you account for that. Food options: the food at the resort is excellent. But if you wanted to go out and explore options you may need a cab or if you are adventurous you can walk but it's not a very walking friendly area. Surrounding area: The surrounding area of the hotel is hard to walk and full off trash every where. I'm not sure what the trash situation is in south Italy but it is EVERYWHERE. So the moment you get out of the resort be prepared to experience a severe contrast. In summary -while the resort is dreamy I wouldn't spend more than a few days just to relax here.

This property was like an oasis in the middle of an urban desert. great location for visiting the roman ruins and Naples. local transport (trains) are very cheap and clean. Downside is the area outside the resort especially whilst walking to Herculaneum is dirty, run down with litter all over the place.
