The hotel itself is a villa built in the 18th century. The building and garden may have been beautiful and very exclusive quite a few years ago. These pictures are still up on the booking.com pictures, but they are not like that today, so if we look at it we felt a little deceived. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of staff, possibly a lack of capital for renovation and maintenance. Most of the fountains and parkland in the park area are not operated at all, they are filled with dirty water and there is garbage in several places, though it could be a dazzling park. The pool and surroundings are super. The staff is kind and helpful. Breakfast is very poor, not too fresh, which would be offset if the bread, vegetables and fruits were cut aesthetically more beautifully. We were completely satisfied with our room, which was big, comfortable, clean. Unfortunately the restaurant is not open, there is no lunch or dinner, and several huge rooms are empty and it would be wonderful to have a restaurant. We went to nearby restaurants to eat, we ate incredibly delicious pizzas at the Ro.Vi pizzeria. All in all, value for money is definitely worth booking here and we had a great time, we spent 4 nights here with our toddler.

Very large bedroom equipped with nice furniture, TV, safe box, hanging space and lovely marble bathroom in the old fashioned style which was perfectly in keeping with the nature of the 18th century historical building. Huge windows in bedroom and bathroom with great views of Vesuvius, formal gardens and grounds. Great restaurant with wood fired pizzas but sadly not used by many of the guests. We were the only guests at dinner the two nights were there. The chefs were excellent, the best restaurant we found in Ercolano. The other guests didn't know what they were missing!

Nothing

The hotel is located in a residential area only a few train stations away from Pompeii and Herculaneum's archeological sites. As an historic hotel, it has an antique, rustic, old-world charm with a quaint garden. Although the hotel might benefit from decorative renovations to spruce it up, our room was very large with high ceilings and lovely big windows with views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. The hotel also served a variety of food and drinks. Lastly, we received excellent customer service by the hotel's staff (from the restaurant to front desk). Indeed, Daniela from the front desk organized at short notice a taxi service from the Ercolano Scavi train station and to Naples Marina; she was very helpful, friendly, professional and accommodating with all our subsequent requests. Her English language skills were also excellent.

There was no hotel shuttle service to/from the train station nor to/from Naples/ Naples Marina. While the hotel is not too far from the train station for young, intrepid travelers, older travelers would be wise to organize a taxi service beforehand. Also, the hotel is located in a residential area, so alternative dining options are limited.

If value/location is what is priority, this is a good place. It's decent with a nice breakfast that's included and great walkable location. The staff is professional and helpful. Unit has ac and wifi. It's no Ritz Carlton, but gets the job done. Neighborhood is considered rough, as there are junkies and hustlers around, but nothing that can't be overlooked if you are well equipped with the grab, twist, pull, gouge, method. Single female traveler not well equipped in gtpgm,I wouldn't suggest, but group or couple. Good.

My wife complaining about it.

The girl at reception was exceptional, friendly and obliging. The grounds of the hotel are very pleasing

Cleanliness was of concern. The room was in need of repair as were the furnishings.eg broken lamps with exposed wires. Floors needed scrubbing. It is obvious the hotel needs renovation.Unfortunately the area in which it is situated did not feel safe for two females to walk around in. Rather worrying when we needed to go out for dinner

It was a really big impressive character building, with huge walled gardens, very clean & tidy inside, little tatty outside but that’s same everywhere in Naples, lovely huge rooms with balcony & seaview

Couldn’t fault it really, shame the swimming pool was empty & no restaurant open but it was early May out of season..

Beautiful hotel and gardens, had a balcony too which was a lovely perk. Very quiet at night, lots of nice bars and restraints nearby. Great distance to do vasuvius, pompeii, sorrento and Naples all near(ish) a train station. Staff were lovely too

Driving nearby was stressful but the nice man at the front desk helped me find the gates to the car park on the street directly behind

The hotel is an oasis of calm, just a short walk away from the archaeological site of Herculaneum and just slightly away from the main hustle and bustle of the town. My room had a great sea view and was very large with a high ceiling and the longest curtains I have ever seen. Breakfast was good, not exceptional but varied enough to be enjoyable for the three nights I stayed. The hotel has lovely grounds to walk or sit in with fountains and statues, it was a pleasure to have a little sit and a wander around the gardens in the evening

Very nice (business) hotel, with a beautiful own park & pool, free (own) parking and great breakfast, really exceeding our expectations. Not too many restaurants around, which did make me giving the location a 9 instead of 10, but really good overall!

Not too much choice about restaurants around, which is the only slightly negative thing.

Majestic, stately old property that is full of charm. Large gardens like a park! Outdoor pool. Staff helpful and friendly, breakfast good selection, large bathroom, really good shower and spacious room with a wonderful view across the bay.

A few paint scuffs and the odd worn fitting. Only added to the charm!
