This is a good 4* hotel that with a few minor tweaks could be a fantastic 5*. It's a beautiful building set in lovely gardens and the pool has a great view of Vesuvius. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the on site restaurant is very good. However minor touches such as no tissues, body lotion, or dressing gowns in the room, shower gel wasn't topped up during our stay, and the decor in the bedroom being a bit tired, let it down. Service at the bar was also very slow with only one server looking after multiple guests. We booked a room with a terrace but it just had a couple of old and damaged bean bags for sitting in the sunshine, a couple of proper loungers would have been much more suitable. The hotel has a free shuttle to Herculaneum at fixed times during the day which are good but you must pre book. The nearby roads are not very pedestrian friendly but we stuck to main roads and walked 20-25 mins to some nearby restaurants, there wasn't much else closer and taxis are expensive. There were weddings at the hotel every day but we didn't find them too intrusive, they usually finished early. Breakfast was very good but didn't open until 7.30am so we had to eat very quickly in order to be out by 8am for our trips. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it as a good base for exploring the area but with a few improvements this could be a really excellent hotel.
