Vico Equense Giusso Castle Hotels

"Wonderful staff and good breakfast "

"The room was in great condition, clean, overlooking the gulf and across from Mount Vesuvius. The bathtub was heavenly, staff was friendly and spoke English well enough for us to converse. We booked here for the views and the idea that we would easily be able to get to the train station in Castellammare di Stabia via the offered shuttle. Here are the cons. The listings indicate that there is a shuttle to the train station during scheduled times and at request but apparently that is closed during the offseason so we paid about $40/day for a taxi to take us 2 miles each way. The breakfast buffet with the same thing each day. Communication with the hotel prior to our arrival was difficult, emails going unanswered and then not including requested information. Booking through Expedia doesn't allow you to log in to the hotel booking directly to add anything on to your reservation and doing so separately didn't result in getting what was requested. We visited in February, knowing that it is the off season and some things would not be available to us, however, many things were not mentioned that would be closed during this time. The outdoor pool was closed, and that was well advertised, but you would think it would be covered or at least not green and slimy looking. The excursions they can assist with don't exist in winter either. With a nearly empty resort and many amenities unavailable at this time, you would think they would have upgraded our room or something."

"The best hotel in the town. !!! Everything was amazing ❗️"

"Excellent breakfast with gorgeous view of the harbour. The staff all went out of their way to make us feel welcome like we were part of their family."

"The room was extremely clean and the management were so helpful in organising public transport. We paid the maid to take us to the train station because we couldn’t get a taxi. They organised this. There was a good range of food for breakfast and we could see the seas and Vesuvius from our bedroom window. You have to walk up a hill to get to the train station and then you can get to Naples, Sorrento and Pompeii"

"Nice room with a sea view, very helpful and attentive staff, and nice breakfast spread."

"The room was super clean, a little bit dated but it added to the charm. The breakfast was superb and the staff were super friendly and attentive. We had a room with the ocean view and what a view it was! Seeing the sunset from the balcony is just next level. I'd say the improvement they could make would be to have a better mattress but I'm just being picky"

"The location is isolated. It is difficult and expensive to get in and out. There is nothing around it for food options. If you want sometime away from the town its a pretty location. But the owner/manager is impatient and not very pleasant to help. He smokes in the lobby which is upsetting. They advertise their beautiful pool and say they offer wifi. But read the fine print. The pool is only open during the summer and the wifi is only available in the smoky lobby, not in the rooms. We chose it for the cheaper option, but it was not worth it."

"Breakfast offered an unlimited variety of foods. From hot breakfast, fresh fruits, cereals pastries. Unlimited hot drinks and fruit juices"
