Piazza Dante is a square dedicated to Dante Alighieri, the 13-14th century medieval poet and author…read moreknown best for his work The Divine Comedy, detailing Dante's fictional journey thru the nine concentric circles of hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. The monument shows this author with a book in one hand, left arm raised as if readying to share a message on literature. While the statue honors an important figure, the base of the statue looks like it needs some cleaning and maintenance. The rest of the square is an open cement tiled lot, with a historic building Convitto Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele II (listed as a boarding school) bordering on the east. A historic astrological clock is set into the turret above the main entrance, and on the ground floor of the same building several cafes sandwich the entrance on either side. In the center of the piazza in April was a cluster of about two dozen temporary vendors set up under tented stands, selling artisan products such as handicrafts, jewelry, and food products. While in a bit of a touristy part in the historic downtown section of Naples, many locals live in the area and on a Saturday evening younger kids played soccer while several clumps of high schoolers socialized with friends. Worth a look if you're in the area during the day!

The house is located within one of the most historic palaces in Salerno, right on the Lungomare promenade, and every room has breath-taking views of the the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Donna Giulia was a quick walk to everything we wanted; restaurants, groceries, shops, and the harbor. We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return!

I think most of the 11 people staying here for the week were pretty happy with the place; however…read moreI'll give my own detailed appraisal. There is plenty of space in the villa, many different living areas so even 11 people are not living on top of each other. Each of the guests rooms are large with their own bathrooms, there aren't any bad rooms. Some are pretty amazing, with the shower built into the rock face, and some bedrooms are also built into the rock face too. The walk to get here from the town centre is a killer, even for young fit people. So I recommend that you stay in the villa as much as you can, or bring some good walking shoes! There is a bus / taxi option but neither can get you right down into the town centre (the beach), or right up to the villa. So even if you cut out the middle part of the walk, you're still in for some serious stairs! Having said that, once you get here, it's pretty amazing! Elderly people don't even bother unless you're not going to leave for your entire stay. The family who owns the villa are super accommodating, and have a 'no problem is too big' attitude. There are 3 staff members who work here full time. One of the staff members can understand most English, the other 2 can't. I didn't find the staff particularly friendly (family owners aside). Not a lot of smiles. Not bad service, not great either, just mediocre. I wasn't happy when I saw the house keeper throw her hands in the air when she saw I had slept on the couch....because I woke up with an ant infested bed! I was meant to wake them up at 3am to deal with it then (and wake my room mate). Which brings me to my next point, they need a buzzer or call button to call staff when needed. At the moment they say to yell out, but most of us couldn't remember or pronounce their names. A continental breakfast is provided, it could be significantly improved with little additional expense - it's pretty sparse. They could put a toaster out with some bread to toast, add some more cereals and put the milk jug in a bowl of ice so it stays chilled. The breakfast table is also not cleared regularly, so often left messy. With 3 full time staff, it shouldn't be difficult to keep it tidy. Wifi works well, and there is good apple technology to play music through their speakers using your apple devise. They provide towels and make up the rooms nicely too. They also have a machine which produces still and sparkling water on tap, and a top quality ice making machine. There are fridges you can take drinks out of for a fee, they are not super expensive, but if you want to save some dollars buy food and drinks from the local deli at the bottom of the driveway, and they will deliver it up to the villa for free (remember it's a decent hike from the bottom of the driveway). The housekeeper can cook meals for guests. Restaurant prices, but admittedly, this lady CAN cook! It's pretty nice being served a 3 course meal on the balcony overlooking the Mediterranean sea. It's a must do on your stay. We held a wedding reception here, and it ran very very smoothly. There were 60 guests and there was plenty of room. they did an excellent job. Though the waiters could have kept the drinks on the tables stocked a little better (now I'm getting picky...). There was a sewerage smell that would occasionally waft over the dance floor by the pool, hopefully this will be fixed soon. It was pretty faint and didn't ruin the night. It was the most impressive setting for a reception I have ever seen though. Seriously amazing view from the villa. The housekeeper will do your laundry which I thought was cool, but there will be a charge on your bill at the end. I thought this would have been a nice free value add for guests. The group decided to tip, if I were to make a decision on my own I wouldn't have. I think the $14,000 per week price tag should cover the service we received. This place is really impressive, we had a wonderful time, and I'm sure that future guests will also have a wonderful time. Having said that unless I'm with a group and we all want to live together, I will probably stay somewhere closer to town next time.

The fridge was fully stocked with waters, Coke and sparkling peach juice. We decided to have dinner in our room since we had shopped at the grocery on the way here. Alice provided wine glasses, a wine opener, plates, napkins, utensils and most of all a warm bon apetito to us. The rooms are very large and extremely comfortable. A full couch, armoire, a desk, end tables and of course views. We have a corner unit so we have views from two angles. You must stay here and enjoy the reason we all want to come to Italy. The people are tremendous and the ocean views are second to none.

The ancient city of Pompeii is astonishing. You spend hours, days, walking around. So where to find…read morea place to rest your bones and enjoy your sleep? As I walked in the modern city of Pompei full of tourists and souvenir shops I reached the square of the great Basilica. On the opposite side I found myself surrounded by nice locals who recommended B&B Gallery, just around the corner. Got a big room with a spacious bathroom and a big balcony. Situated right in the middle of the city the price was utterly modest. Breakfast was served on the other side of the street where I sat and overlooked the Basilica with Vesuvius in the background, while the streets woke up and the morning breeze made the coffee taste better than ever. For the moment not worrying what the volcano had in mind. In year 79 it killed everyone around in a few minutes. Nowadays no one seems to worry though. I stayed for a day or two longer than planned. Learned that the host was born in Pompei. As a child he used to play and run around in the ancient city. He knew a lot about this great historical site. Together with his co-host he spoke several languages, including Russian. Their hospitality was one of a kind and I can highly recommend B&B Gallery. Yes, I rested my bones, enjoyed my sleep and the privilege to leave Pompei enrichened by bygones - as well as contemporary life. And not the least; the warm generosity I met at B&B Gallery.
