Avellino Homestays

Spent four days at the Viva with my husband to be in town to visit relatives. The room was modest but clean and comfortable, fresh towels daily but no safe in room. When shutters are closed, you cannot hear a sound from outside. The breakfast in the mornings was quite good. Great hard rolls and a fabulous display of pastries. The restaurant downstairs is wonderful for lunch and dinner. Great pizzas, wines and entrees. The staff is wonderful, especially Marika and Emalia at the front desk. Safe, warm, welcoming and a great value. Also, for an additional 10-euro one can park the car under the hotel. This is wonderful as there is very, very little on street parking in that part of town. This was not my first time at the Viva and it won't be my last. Really like this hotel, great value and wonderful people.

This hotel is #1 in Avellino for a Reason. 1. The room is amazing. It really is a suite. The living room area is large and comfortable. The bedroom is extremely large. A King size bed. The room was extremely clean. We had a great view from the hotel. The Bathroom was large and the shower quite big with a rain shower head. The provide slippers and a bath robes. The closet in the bedroom is quite large and allows for all of your clothing 2. Location. The location is not far from the town centre but depending on how you get to the hotel - by Bus from another city (we came from Salerno) you will need a taxi to get to the hotel. To get a Taxi call the hotel and they can help as Taxis are not easy to get. 3. Domenico - the Taxi Driver. We were fortunate to have Domenico as our Taxi Driver. He is an older Gentleman. He was amazing. We used him to get us to get to a small town near Avellino (Santo Stefano del Sole). He was always on time - charge a reasonable fare. He picked us up at 6:15 when it was time to go back to the Train Station (no trains travel to Avellino). 4. Getting there. We took a long route to get to the Hotel as we were in Naples prior to leaving for Avellino. But the Hotel Desk Manager told us there is a bus that comes straight to the Hotel from Roma. As we are thinking of going to the Hotel again just for R&R - I would find out how one can get the train from Roma. Also Avellino is close to many places - Pompei, Salerno, Sorrento - just need to figure out how to get to them from the Hotel - I am sure the Hotel staff will help. 5, The staff - from the moment you arrive you are treated wonderfully. The fellow who looks after the bar area and the restaurant at night - Marco is extremely friendly - speaks great English. 6. The hotel has a nice sized heart shaped pool with a pool side canopy for eating. 7. The Hotel has an incredible restaurant. We had one of the most memorable dinners there. Marco is a gracious server and host and the food was so good. Worth going to dinner at the hotel. 8. Breakfast is ok. They have you basic breakfast - juice, croissants, coffee. 9. Simply an amazing hotel - new, modern, clean and super staff. Thank you to everyone at the Hotel de la Ville.
