"Hotel Vesuvio has a beautiful and convenient location by the waterfront, offering classic charm and lovely sea views. However, while it carries a five-star rating, the overall experience felt closer to a four-star standard — and at times even three. The rooms were comfortable but somewhat dated, and service levels varied depending on the staff on duty.
Breakfast was a pleasant surprise — good selection, fresh ingredients, and a friendly, attentive breakfast team that made mornings enjoyable. The hotel restaurant also deserves praise: both the food and the service were excellent, with a professional team that clearly takes pride in their work.
In contrast, the rest of the staff left a more neutral impression. They were polite and correct, but lacked the warmth and attentiveness you would expect from a top-tier five-star hotel.
Overall, Hotel Vesuvio offers a nice stay with a great location, a very good restaurant, and a pleasant breakfast experience — but it doesn’t quite live up to the full five-star expectations."
