All within the immediate area.
Stabia:- Villa San marco and Villa Arianna
Oplontis:- Villa Poppaea
Boscoreale:- Villa Boscoreale
All worth a visit AND when you buy the combined Pompeii/Herculaneum admission ticket, you get entry into all of these other sites as well.
We had them all to ourselves when we went in october last year which was good in a way but meant we couldn't shake off the guides at Stabia.
Don't forget the museum at Naples either. Naples itself isn't great but it's museum is absolutely a must.
We had a hotel in Pompeii and ate a wonderful meal at a different place every night. Cheaper than Rome and there's a big supermarket on the way from the railway station back into town where you can buy meats, cheeses and bread to sustain you during your days of walking around.
