Hotel Degli Amici, Pompeii

At Campania's Hotel Degli Amici you'll be just a brief stroll away from the famous city of Pompeii. The ruins of this city - and Herculaneum nearby - make a fascinating day out, providing an enthralling picture of life in AD79 before Mount Vesuvius wiped out nearly 2,000 people. See the Villa dei Misteri, a well-preserved luxurious house, and the House of the Tragic Poet - with its distinctive Cave Canem (Beware of the Dog) mosaic. You can also take a closer look at Vesuvius itself - there are frequent buses that make the trip.

But to see some of the best mosaics and murals from Pompeii and Herculaneum, you'll need to take a trip to the archaeological museum in nearby Naples. While there, don't miss the stunning paintings in the art gallery, Galleria di Capodimonte, and you should also take time to see the royal palace and Piazza Plebiscito. This Pompeii hotel organises excursions to Naples, as well as Capri, Ischia, Sorrento and Paestum.

A three-star hotel, the Hotel Degli Amici has 15 elegantly furnished rooms so you're sure to have a comfortable stay. This hotel in Pompeii has also taken care of the practicalities, too: it has free parking, a front desk with staff available to help around the clock, meeting rooms, fax/photocopying facilities and free wireless internet. Enjoy a tasty snack in the cafe, relax in the TV room, soak up the sun or enjoy a refreshing drink in the shade of the bougainvillea in the charming courtyard garden.
