Pompeii (with disabled relative)

[Ponderingtosk]

I’ve always wanted to go to Pompeii.

I watched the big dig program on it last night and got very excited. Trouble is DH is not fantastically mobile, needs a sleep most afternoons etc.

I found the Hotel de Sole right near the gates of Pompeii on google earth and am wondering IF we could go, Fly London to Naples, get a taxi to the hotel. I can trot all over Pompeii to my hearts content and DH can come and go 🤞as he pleases.

Anyone done something similar? I’m not used to booking holidays, we normally just go somewhere in the UK.

wondering what the pitfalls might be (got really fleeced in New York before Covid for a taxi to the airport) so would be good to know tips on travelling there.

thanks

Just back from Rome and we did a day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum by fast train.
I highly recommend Askos tours - brilliant guides.
I preferred Herculaneum as smaller and very well preserved. The new museum is fantastic.
It’s all fairly uneven underfoot though.

Thank you everyone. Just popped in to have a Quick Look, thank you for so many replies.

DH is not in a wheel chair but can’t manage a lot of time on his feet, probably an hour and then needs a sit down and definitely a nap in the afternoon. He does play golf but can’t manage it without his buggy (which we wouldn’t be taking).

He’d love to go but I can’t see him managing everything so that’s why I thought if we were right on top he can go back to the hotel and I can explore at my leisure.

thanks you’ve all given me the confidence to think it’s a trip we can achieve and I think booking via a travel agents is probably the best way to do it.

I’d look at doing this.

That's like me and I think that sounds like the perfect combination as he gets to explore a bit and then not feel guilty resting while you go and explore further.

I hope you have a fabulous trip
