A walk through Pompeii's ruins
Almost 2.000 years ago disaster struck when the Vesuvius' eruption buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick layer of ash and lava. For more than 100 years archeologists are uncovering the secrets of this mysterious city. During your visit you step into the ancient streets frozen in time, buried and preserved by the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Join us as we explore the remarkably preserved homes, frescoes, and intriguing casts of the bodies buried alive that will offer a glimpse into the daily lives of Pompeii's inhabitants. Discover the well-preserved amphitheater where gladiators once battled for glory, and stroll through the ancient Forum where political and social life thrived.
Walk from FOUR Pompei towards the restaurant near the cathedral.
Fine dining at Il Circolo
At the ground level of the HABITA79 hotel you will find the trendy restaurant 'Il Circolo'. The restaurant is a combination of a cocktail bar and a fine dining restaurant using local ingredients and wines. We started with a mix of fried starters. The main course was a creative interpretation of the gnocchi Sorrentino with octopus and truffle. All combined with a white wine cultivated on the flanks of Mount Vesuvius. To end with a new-style Tiramisu.
