Miglio D'Oro Park Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay. We had two rooms. The property was run down but beautiful and the staff was nice and very accommodating. Rooms were great, the staff was helpful in letting us know the balcony with sunset view was street side so lounder than back side balcony rooms which were quiet. This stay made us want to call a DIY show and bring this diamond in the rough back to glory! Walking distance to Michelin backed restaurant and Herculaneum. Good base for Mt Vesuvius (20 min/km) and Prompeii (45 min drive). Parking onsite was very convenient and secure.

The staff were very helpful, and willing to help, not just help because it is part of the job. From quick to translation to quick questions, they were there. Which was great because I can be a little nervous with language barriers. In hindsight, I do wonder if there was a bit of a leak in my restroom, but me not bringing that to the attention of staff is on me, not on staff being unapproachable (because they were not). The garden and park area around the hotel was what drew me to it. What I liked was that yes the property was unkept, but it was not so pristinely kept that I was scared of going off a path or fearful of touching anything. There may be a stray chair somewhere, or the remnants of a project unfinished, but that made me feel more comfortable about not needing to worry so much about what I did, unlike other places one could go. Across the street is the most reliable sandwich shop, run by the most wonderful woman and her daughter (?), the kind of place that you know will be quality food and you’ll feel good buying from them. There’s a few different café’s, each with their own environment to them (aesthetically and sociologically). There’s also Herculaneum literally 2 blocks away and the beach a 10-15 minute walk, if that. Great, quality spots around without it being super busy all the time. I think this hotel being in such a location is fantastic. Inspires some movement, but you also have what you need close by incase you want a day in with minimal walking.

Got a room with a large balcony overlooking the grounds. Loved it! Breakfast wasn't that great but swimming pool was very nice an the grounds of the old villa, though not in great shape were enjoyable to wakk in. Very relaxing. A very short walk to the ruins of Herculaneum. Didn't realize that when I booked but it is a huge plus if they are on your to do list. Front desk was very helpful friendly.
