Miglio d'Oro Park Hotel

Our room was spacious and bright, with a view out to the sea from the west window and a very large terrace off of glass doors on the south side. The hotel is in an 18th century villa, with extensive grounds, worthy of a stroll. The breakfast buffet is included with the room and has quite a good selection of items. You can sit indoors or outside in the courtyard, and it's a nice start to the day. The location is a short walk to the excavation site and to shops and restaurants. We ended up with an unallocated day, so spent several hours in the courtyard reading or at the pool, swimming, reading and just having a "down day" and enjoying the ambience and amenities of the hotel. I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area. We were originally planning on taking the train from Pompeii to visit the excavation, but I spotted this hotel, and wanted to stay here, so we split our accommodation between Pompeii and Ercolano. It was worth relocating for, and a walkable distance from the train station.

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.

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.

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

Stunning hotel and super friendly welcome from lady at reception. Hotel is a little run down in places but if you can look past that it is the most stunning building, perfect location for exploring herculaium, pompeii and vesuvius.
