Our experience with our travel agent, Flavia, was truly exceptional. From the outset, she assured me that although the Hotel Vesuvio had a more classic and traditional style, I would not regret the choice. Flavia had already shared her own experience at the hotel, particularly highlighting the delightful breakfast. And, as promised, she was absolutely right. There’s something special about having a travel agent who not only understands what is good but has been to the place herself and can speak from personal experience. Flavia exceeded all expectations, providing us with an unforgettable experience. Without a doubt, it was the perfect recommendation!

Our experience with Flavia, our travel agent, was absolutely excellent. I remember how she wouldn’t stop talking about enjoying a drink at Franco’s Bar, highlighting the stunning view of the pool — a detail only someone who truly knows the place firsthand could share. It was incredible how these little touches transformed our trip. Flavia even mentioned that the hotel offered an exclusive boat to take guests to a restaurant for lunch. I was skeptical, thinking something like that would easily cost 1,000 euros. But when I checked in, I decided to ask about the boat, and to my surprise, it was indeed included in our stay! It was an experience beyond expectations. Flavia is not just a travel agent; she truly knows the destination inside and out, and that makes all the difference. Her expertise in sharing these authentic experiences made our stay even more special.
