Miglio d'Oro Park Hotel

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.

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

The location is perfect for visiting Herculaneum (just a few minutes walk) and about 10 minutes to the train station. The grand old building is beautiful and the gardens extremely well maintained. Inside is a little dated but we quite liked that. And the pool was perfect after a hot day sightseeing! We visited in early September and there were only a few other guests staying so we pretty much had the place to ourselves!

There was a slight drain smell from one of the rooms and one day the lift was out of order (but walking off a few calories from all the delicious food was probably a bonus!!)

- The breakfast has a a wide variety of cold meals and You can take it on a nice terrace as well - The wild and historic park of the hotel is a kind of oasis especially compared with the surrounding streets including a well separated private parking and pool area as well - The staff is very kind and helpful - Sub-urban train station to reach Naples, Sorrento or Pompeii is within walking distance and also vulcan tours are available from the station by bus

- The noise of the street is better to get avoided however it means that the exciting view of the Naples Bay can't be enjoyed - The room much more represents a 3 star quality than a 4 star one, but it is quite common in Italy

Miglio D'Oro is in the former Villa Aprile, built in the second half of the eighteenth century, when wealthy Dukes from Naples were building palazzos in this area. It's totally renovated now, but it was such a treat to stay in a former villa, which is a huge building, with tall ceilings, incredible views, and large casement windows overlooking the Bay of Naples and the Sorrento Peninsula. It amazes me that the extensive grounds behind the villa have survived all the changes and not been developed into something else. The fountain with the statue is beautiful and there are other features as well besides orange and lemon trees and a grotto area that I never figured out what it was originally. It wasn't warm enough to eat on the terrace when I was there but I imagine you can when it's warmer. The bathroom was huge. I was very comfortable and felt lucky to be staying there. I had to get up and check out the view every so often because it was so beautiful. The windows really open so you can get a good breeze as the day warmed up. The Miglio D'Oro is an 11 minutes walk from the train station and five minutes from Herculaneum (note-now closed on Wednesdays). There are two excellent restaurants just a few minutes away, Viva Lo Re (upscale dining) and Tubba Cattuba (great food but more typical). Also the recently renovated Villa Campolieto is within walking distance and an absolutely gorgeous building which I highly recommend visiting. Most of the remaining palazzos have been turned into apartments or in one case, a municipal building, and have only fading exteriors plus signs, but I enjoyed walking past them. It was a great experience staying at the Miglio D'Oro. I highly recommend it. The general area is a mix of apartment buildings, small orchards, greenhouses, and light industrial use (such as a car repair shop). I also walked to a black sand beach.

Wonderful high ceiling rooms in this Palazzo with scenic setting to rear, steps from Ercolani Scavi ruins and 10mins from train station. Elegant, old world, a bit dated but in a good way. Huge bathroom, excellent breakfast and staff couldn't do enough for you. Looked a great event and wedding venue especially when swimming pool open and summer, romantic getaway place also.

No bar for evening drinks was a shame, given setting and ambience.but bars over road and lovely restaurant nearby away from town centre also. That said ,room furniture ample for indoor drinks in pleasant setting..

The staff is amazing. They are always trying to make you feel welcome and they try to fix any problem you may have. There was a mistake with our reservation and they went above and beyond what was needed to make it better. The deluxe bedroom is very beautiful, with comfortable bed and nice decoration, huge bathroom! I suggest you reserve this room.

The state is a huge, ancient villa from the xiii century and requires a lot of maintenance, so of course it is challenging and somethings look a bit outdated but everything worked in the room.

The external grounds and pool, the size of the room and the proximity to the attraction that we were visiting - Herculaneum

Having come through the pandemic, there was a feeling that some things had not quite recovered - bulbs in lights not replaced and jacuzzi in our room not working, half hearted attempt at serving us (the only people in the restaurant) an evening meal despite a strong recommendation from reception and finally difficulty in obtaining a hot drink with the buffet breakfast.

The building is awesome and the garden with swimming pool as well. High ceilings, some of them painted. It has the right amount of wear and tear to make one feel like back in 19th century while still providing 21st century comfort. I could see Vesuvius from my bed, very cool. People in reception were very friendly and breakfast was just right. Toasts with ham and cheese, selection of jams, yogurts, croissants, Italian pastry bites, choice of fruits, unlimited amount of. Oh yeah. Coffee as well but beware the word Latte means pure milk for locals. Herculaneum was just 5 minutes walk away ( archaeological site was busy on Sunday morning and virtually empty later in the afternoon). Busses to Vesuvius start from Ercolano Scavi Station, 10 min walk.

This is a part of genius loci of Naples so I am not sure it is really an issue but the road in front of the Hotel can be quite busy. It was a good training lesson for downtown Naples though and our room with garden view was very quiet.

Private parking for no extra charge was a major plus, loved the atmosphere and the garden behind the villa. The pool was a nice surprise. Breakfast was good. The room was spacious, especially the bathroom. It was surprisingly quiet even though the hotel is located on a main street. The view from either side of the hotel was great. The pizza at the hotel restaurant was good and the overall price was more than fair. The fact that the Herculaneum is a walking distance away (not even a kilometer) makes this hotel a great choice. Nice bars and restaurants nearby.

For my taste, the rooms could be cleaned more diligently, but it was ok all in all. The bathroom itself was great but the shower could be touched up on.
