The city of Pompeii was established in the XII century B.C. and enjoyed great prosperity from the point of view of culture, economy and city planning until 79 A.D. when the terrible eruption of Vesuvius covered everything in lava and small stones and completely wiped out the existence of Pompeii and neighboring Ercolano. Centuries passed and Pompeii, buried under a thick seven meter shroud, was forgotten. The first excavations finally began in the latter half of the 1700's which, little by little, brought the city back to life.
Today, the archeological park in Pompeii forms the most important archeological testimony in Italy and our hotel is situated right in front of its entrance, with some rooms directly overlooking the ancient amphitheater.
Another place of interest which is just a stroll from this charming hotel in Pompeii is the Shine to Madonna del Rosario, the destination for hundreds of pilgrims each year.
