“small family friendly b&b”
its proximity to termini is its best feature. the room was spacious and clean. they served a typical roman breakfast of cornetto and cappuccino, jam, yogurt etc. Owners were friendly, the son spoke english. Free Wifi upon request. There's a trattoria just across the street but i wouldn't recommend their carbonarra. better to eat at the many eateries at termini.

We went early in the day to avoid what always becomes 1 to 2 hour lines to enter the church. At 9am, we simply walked up the steps and right through the front door. The Basilica itself is awe-inspiring - one of the most massive cathedrals we've ever seen adorned with the utmost details in every square ...

... and other artifact discoveries over the years. Even now, Pompeii is only about 75% excavated and the expectation is for many more archeological finds.
The efforts that have been expended on excavating Pompeii are enormous. It certainly was not clear to us (we did a self guided tour) if the entire city was buried with volcanic effluent and ash or only parts or to what extent. An excavation of a fully buried city would have been immense.
