The hotel is located in Ercolano (Herculaneum), a very ancient city of Greek origin on the slopes of Vesuvius, along the stretch of coast connecting Naples to the Sorrentine Peninsula. It is also only 100 m from the archaeological excavation site of Herculaneum, whose historical and cultural significance rivals the more famous discoveries of neighbouring Pompeii. Perfectly integrated in a landscape of remarkable charm and beauty, its strategic position makes it the ideal solution both for guests wishing to visit the main tourist sights of the region and discover the ancient treasures of Naples, and for the businessman who wishes to escape from the day's hustle and bustle and enjoy all the comforts of a major hotel in a classy atmosphere. Set in a spectacular monumental park at the foot of Vesuvius, the hotel is near the dominant Bay of Naples, some 500 m from the sea and around a 20-minute drive from Naples city centre. Naples Municipal Airport is some 10 km away.

Further pleasant moments of relaxation can be enjoyed in the refined and simple elegance of the Lounge Bar, sipping drinks against a background of music from the Piano Bar in an atmosphere that has to be experienced. Particular attention is given to the food on offer in the romantic, elegant and private atmosphere of the restaurants, where the hotel offers its guests authentic and refined cuisine, with menus based on old traditional Neapolitan recipes, revisited from a modern perspective with a touch of international sophistication. During spring and summer, guests can enjoy breakfast served on the La Terrazza roof terrace, and an original and romantic dinner by candlelight surrounded by the greenery of the park at the Restaurant Il Patio.
