The hotel itself is lovely. The staff were very welcoming, the room was great and the restaurant was really nice too. It has lovely gardens to sit out in and enjoy a bit of sunshine. It's about 15 min walk to the train station and harbour where there are a few nice little restaurants too. It's just unfortunate the area around it isn't as nice but that's nothing to do with the hotel itself.
Beautiful grounds and staff friendly. The rooms are huge with a vintage vibe. Breakfast was delicious. Only thing was bar wasn’t open to get a night cap.
It's an stunning property, with frescoes in my room and first-class service in the hotel, though not the restaurant, where service was uneven. I would return to the hotel.
The room was luxurious with a large bathtub, very comfortable bed, and tall ceilings with the original painted artwork still visible. We felt very welcome and cared for by the staff at the Villa and the onsite award-winning restaurant. The pool was perfect for relaxing to enjoy the late summer afternoon with a cocktail and a refreshing dip in the water. Every area was clean from our room to the manicured grounds. We ate at the restaurant multiple times. The daily breakfast was above expectations. We returned several nights to eat dinner because the service and the food were excellent.
The hotel is in a great location that is walkable from the metro (10 minutes) and the Herculean (20 minutes). The area around is quite run down but there are good restaurants to find. The harbour area near the station has had some investment and is ok.
The hotel itself is quite old but reasonable we’ll furnished. The grounds are nice and pool, including bar, is great to relax by.
The thing that really let my stay down was my room. It appears they have created more rooms in the main buildings loft space. The result of this is no windows and only a very small loft window. As this to the very basic furniture and very standard bathroom fittings and it was very disappointing. It felt and looked more like a hostel than a hotel room. Shame as the staff were great.
Beautiful hotel and its history. I would love to have an event there. Elegant food, great pool. The only criticism I would give is to have longer pool hours past 7pm.
An authentic lovely hotel with great service.
The main buildings feel like stepping back 100s of years- elegant design with an edge of shabby chic. Beautiful
The bedroom in the annexe were simple and clean.
Pool area was perfect
The area is quite run down but that does not affect the stay at the hotel.... And incredibly the Herculaneum site was 10 mins walk.
Finally the service was amazing. I was a single woman dining alone and the service was friendly and helpful.
Everything great. Tiziana and company were delightful. Good food. Connected to the center and the scavi. Short drive to Vesuvius. The pool on-site is a nice touch and a great way to relax and mix things up.

Disliked: Staff & service
Hot water did not work; no windows in the rooms despite windows shown in pictures when booking; staff often not at concierge; food at on-site restaurant was good for one person's meal and quite awful for the others

Loved the swimming pool, great air conditioning in the room, the breakfast was particularly delicious!
Special mention of the barman at the pool, he was so friendly, funny and helpful! Great to be able to get food /dinner at child friendly times, with having a young child, and wanting to eat at 5/6 pm.
Would definitely stay there again!
This hotel is so charming and its vast outdoor property was gorgeous. We will certainly come back to spend more time there and explore all its amenities. Simply breathtaking and close to the Herculaneum. Would certainly stay again and recommend to others.
Beautiful but funky villa. The main hotel and event spaces are beautiful. The room was large enough with high ceiling and elaborate 19 century decor. The shower was tiny and both shower and sink drain so slowly that scum builds up. AC Unit didn’t work. Luckily it was cool in evening with large windows to balcony overlooking sea.
Restaurant has lovely outdoor area but food pretty mediocre. Risotto and pasta very undercooked ( not just al dente) and seafood portions tiny.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
A once beautiful Villa, however the walls and ceiling are crumbling. We booked for 3, paid for 3 but I had to ask for pillows and towels for the 3rd person. Great restaurant.
