B&B don Mimì

I was very please with Massimo and his establishment B&B Don Mimi. Massimo was very welcoming and so helpful with providing information. My first impression was how clean everything was, the room was a great size and the bed comfortable. Every morning there were fresh croissants in the kitchen. In my room there was a small fridge with yogurts, juice, water and milk. In a small box was a selection of treats and coffee capsules for the machine in the kitchen. All very well organised. Locally there are small supermarkets, wonderful fresh fruit shops and restaurants. There is a bus which stop just outside the main gates and the metro station is about a six minute walk to Salvator Rosa which is the one that I used the most. There is another metro station, Materdei that is also within walking distance. On Massimo's advise I purchased a 7 day ticket from a ticket machine at one of the metro stations. A single ticket can be bought from local tobacconist's. The metro took me into Piazza Garibaldi and when I went to Pompeii and Herculaneum, I walked out of the station to Porta Nolan station (about 5 minutes) and got on the train there as I could then be guaranteed a seat, it was also easier to purchased my return ticket from there as it was not so busy. If travelling to Sorrento from Naples I recommend the express train as it comes with a guaranteed seat. The Circumvesuviana gets very busy, jam packed. If you are needing a taxi to and from the airport I recommend the really nice and helpful Giuseppe, as recommended by Massimo.
