The Palomba family has been in the hospitality business for three generations.
Over the years we have been able to develop an improve our range of accommodations, by running a little family business to the current management of three high level Hotels.
Two of these are in the centre of Pompeii and regularly host both a business and leisure/cultural clientele.
That's to say the Hotel Diana and Diana Accommodation.
The third property, opened in 2016, is a four-star Resort, designed especially for families who wish to enjoy nature and tranquility and for all lovers of wellness to be enjoyed in one of our suites with Jacuzzi and chromo-therapy.
With great dedication and youthful enthusiasm the four partners united by the bond of brotherhood manage the Hotels, also helped by the mother Anna and the father Gaetano and by Grandma Emiddia who in the late 1977 started the hotel business with their grandfather Raffaele.
The family has always stood out for the authenticity and passion for hospitality. The grandma keeps in the drawer, with great pride, hundreds of cards and thank you notes from all over the world. We like to treat our guests as friends.
It is given utmost attention to cleanliness and order as well as to the care of the citrus garden, under the careful guidance of mother Anna, a true lover of plants and flowers.
The Grand Master is the father Gaetano who, with his constant presence and expertise, guarantees the solution to all sorts of technical problems.
The daughters Emiddia, Sonia, Raffaella and the son Giuseppe speak different languages learned abroad and are always present and ready to provide their professionalism and ensure the efficiency of management.
In recent years the family, and in particular the youngest son Giuseppe, is engaged in the production of local wines, from the vineyards of Grandpa Raffaele, on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Thanks to their particular exposure to the sun and the fertile volcanic soil the wines are truly excellent. We invite you to taste some, maybe sitting in the shade of the lemon and orange trees.
All guests will also have a chance to visit the property of the family behind the Cathedral, dedicated to equestrian sport. Therefore you can spend free time in contact with nature, horses and ponies of the stable.
And it's right here were in 2016 the Bosco de' Medici Resort was created following the extensive renovation (by the younger brother Giuseppe) of grandfather Raffaele's farm. Right here, in this quiet natural park were the family used to spend week-ends and summer holidays, sharing together with friends pic-nics, horse-back riding and wine harvests.
It's in the harmony with such spirit that the family wishes to offer to those who are looking for peace and quietness a new typology of accommodation, right in the heart of the second most visited cultural site in Italy.
Born from the idea of the artist Nello Petrucci : POMPEI STREET FESTIVAL
An element of cultural dynamism, social awareness, tourist and socioeconomic strategy of growth for the city of Pompei. The street became a starting point to facilitate the encounter between the public and art, fielding the expressiveness of artists, musicians, and filmmakers through installations, meetings, workshops, seminars, live music, performances, and film reviews.
The festival offers a new way of experiencing the city through the different forms of art. Art is used as a tool for change to raise awareness and make everyone acquainted with the fact that every popular artistic movement and, in particular, street art (a phenomenon that is already trendy in many cities around the world), can stimulate the desire for improvement and reflection. The festival wants to shake the consciousness of the new generations regarding environmental and social problems using painting, music and cinema as the main tools to interact with the social fabric of the territory, opening a new path for change. During the days of the festival, the streets of the city became a real Open-air Museum, creating a new way of evolving tourism that made the city of Pompei, become a strong cultural center. The city must continue to increasingly become a destination for fans of the explosive contemporary form of street art. This new perspective will aim in future editions to make the places of periphery known as well. The goal is to evolve the Street Art Tour in the city of Pompei, in future years, generating interest and tourist development.
