17. Pompei - the Hotel Diana

We just loved the Hotel Diana - the antithesis of The overblown Hilton Cavalieri. A small, family owned place, the staff are as friendly and helpful as you could wish, the coffee hot (and affordable - 1 Euro a cup!) and the general ambience unpretentious and delightful.

The outside terrace surrounded by orange trees was a lovely spot to rest after a day paying homage to the Ancients, or to bring a few slad makings back for an evening feast, and just generally chat and unwind.

The Diana is 100 m from the main rail station, on a quiet, dead end street, so no passing traffic. If you find yourself sojourning in Pompei, we thoroughly recommend the Diana!

In this day and age it is widely accepted that one
may use contemporary styling in order to achieve a desired finish.
Presumably, energy travels at an even pace, along a
curvy, winding path. Of all the principles of landscape
design, this one is quite obvious but still requires a little thought and planning.
