Why I give you so many free informations.

I am an italian guy living in a wondeful triangle: Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi. I love so much this land that when an American collegue of mine said he would like to visit Pompeii I started looking for a safety and cheap accomodation for him and his family. He told me he had a limited budget for all the family, and when I went to Pompeii looking for a hotel I just found expensive hotels. I was in crisis. I would have my friend here showing my place, but the city of Pompeii has just 4000 bads for tourist accomodation, and there are 1 million people every year just for visits at the ancient town. So you should book a room even 3 years before your visit, without otherwise spendig less money.

But I had an idea.

In an area of just 30 kms around Pompeii there were a lot of nice hotels cutted off by tourist mainstream, organized by who priviledge accomodations in the same city you are visiting: Naples, Ercolano, the Vesuvius, Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi, Posillipo, Capri, Vietri, Salerno. The reason is clear, the more you spend for restaurants and hotels, the more organizers get tips. But they are already paid by you, I find it unjust. I organized a complete 5 days tour in Naples, Ercolano, the Vesuvius, Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi, Posillipo, Capri, Vietri, Salerno (yes, all) for free for my friend and its family. And I was proud, mind my feeling, to share the beauty of this land with others, to get a far away friend knowing how beatiful is the place where you live.

I want to feel this sensation again and again.
