I'd heard it was better than Pompeii because the ruins were more complete. Kind of a difficult place to access on narrow streets. My travel partner's iPhone GPS took us to the back side of the property. We had to drive around to the front side through street flea markets in what appeared to be a very rough section of town. Finally made it. A very nice gentleman assisted me with parking. We were about to park in an illegal spot and get a ticket. Some of the more attractive exhibits were closed due to renovation. Guide books in English were out of stock so I had to take one in Italian. My internet didn't work very well so it was difficult to use online access to descriptive information. The place gives great insight into first century A.D. Roman life. I especially liked seeing homes with the atria, mosaics and frescoes. To fully appreciate and explore it I would recommend allowing at least 3 to 4 hours or more. We didn't have that much time.

I only found out this place existed while searching for Pompeii tickets. Herculaneum (Ercolano) was actually hit with ash before Pompeii and at a much higher temperature (500°C as opposed to 250°C in Pompeii). It is a lot less crowded than Pompeii and I would say a lot of things are better preserved. It is also much smaller so you don’t have to spend as much time exploring and it’s easy to not miss anything (unlike Pompeii). There are no restaurants or cafes inside however there are plenty choose from in the surrounding area. I highly recommend Pappamonte!

I visited Pompeii years ago, and I wanted to see Herculaneum this time. I was not disappointed. 14€ admission plus 10€ for audio guide. Takes about 2 hours. Free, clean bathrooms at entrance. If you have to choose between the two, choose Pompeii. Easy walk from train station. If coming from Sorrento or Pompeii, you need to change trains 2 stops north of Pompeii. No need for reservations. No wait at 11 a.m. on Friday late October.

I didn't feel too enthralled when we arrived in the car park, partly due to the torrential rain. However once we started walking around it was really interesting. Some of the information boards could do with refurbishing but I was pleased to find that some of the information was written in English. We had a very good guide who really brought the place to life. I was amazed by how well some of the murals and mosaics are preserved, and so colourful. Also fantastic that we could get so close to these ancient remains, and even walking on some of the mosaic floors. Definitely worth a visit and friends who have been to Pompeii said that they prefer Herculaneum even though its smaller.

Great alternative to Pompeii with a different perspective. Really enjoyed the site and the area. The little museum on site is also a great see as well as the boat. If you can get a tour as it will give you a deeper understanding of the site. We also had a cuddle with the ginger tabby cat before we went in which was a lovely added extra. Easy to get too and from with the train from Napoli Station.

We visited Herculaneum the day after we had a fantastic guided tour of Pompeii. We had learned so much during that tour that we felt it was unnecessary to do another guided tour. Therefore , we did Herculaneum in our own pace and we had an amazing day in this once so fabulous holiday resort by the sea. The buildings are better preserved than in Pompeii and you find lots of places with 2000 year old wooden planks. We spent about 3 hours wandering around the ancient city. It is much smaller than Pompeii, but there is so much amazing to see.

This place is fantastic. In my view much better than Pompeii: a fantastic, detailed little pamphlet (in various languages including English) is given with the entrance, so no need for a guide. Plus great views from on high before you descent into the site. The site is FAR less crowded than Pompeii, and much smaller. Regardless was there for about 2.5 hours. The ruins are in much better condition and there are some beautiful mosaics remaining. Lovely, well-fed cats walk around as well. Well-worth the entrance cost of about 13 euros. Easy and cheap train ride from Naples centre as well.

Far less crowded than Pompeii but probably more stunning. Only the residential and shopping areas have been excavated, as the municipal buildings are under the modern town so can’t be excavated. But the quality of artifacts are amazing. The colours of the murals; carbonised staircases and roof beams; not to mention 400 skeletons of the unfortunate souls waiting for a boat that didn’t come. You really get a sense of perspective of the amount of volcanic debris, since the current city is right against the excavation site. A must-see experience. And make sure you have a guided tour!

As the other reviews have noted, this site is the companion to Pompeii. In my opinion, it's not better nor worse than Pompeii, but different and complementary. Because a city was built around and on top of the original city, the site is smaller, in a pit, surrounded by the current city of Herculaneum. But, the preservation of organic material, and the skeletons visible in what were the docks are striking. Practical things to note: 1. The site is about 30 minutes outside Naples. 2. Tickets can be purchased on site. 3. Easy to navigate the site, but suggest an audio tour. Otherwise, you won't really know what you're looking at. 4. There are toilets and vending machines in the park. Bring change for the vending machines. 5. There is a little set of vendor booths outside the park with snacks and some souvenirs. These take cash and cards (though I think they prefer cash). 6. It's an archeological site: There are almost no even surfaces. Cobblestones, stepping up and down, etc.

Phenomenal experience! Absolutely stunning frescoes and well preserved buildings give a look back into earlier life. If you are in a hurry, do the tour with a guide. The streets are winding and you may not exit on your first try. Audio guide is good if you have time to wander.

This is truly a gem you cannot miss. Similar to Pompeii, but better preserved, cheaper and with less people around. I also liked there are good facilities inside - it's not just the ruins, but you can also buy drinks and snacks there and sit with a view of the park. We truly enjoyed the few hours we spent there.

Amazing ruins!! There is an online guide that explains the background to the marked ruins and takes you round in order. The highlight for me were the mosaics in the baths. Tickets were €26 for a group of two which can be bought from the ticket office near the entrance. There is also parking nearby. Definitely worth a visit!

We decided to go here after speaking to a lot of people in Sorrento about Pompei and how much quieter this was. Can't compare as I haven't been to both but this was amazing. Definitely recommend it. We came be express train. Air conditioned trains and not to busy. €15/way/person

Amazing experience however if I were to go again I would choose a cooler season. There's a lot of walking involved and not much shade to be found. The site has a few water fountains so make sure you carry a bottle. Also if you go in the summer a hat and any sort of fan is a must. Happy exploring.

Much smaller and easier to get around than Pompeii. Probably 2/3 hours is enough. Unfortunately there were a few areas closed including the baths which was disappointing but I suppose they've got to maintain these areas sometime. However, gives a good insight into the past. Didn't buy tickets in advance but a very little wait, not sure if it's like that all the time.

Remarkable heritage of the historical village destroyed by in 79. All the remaining building s and living areas inspired us that the life in ancient Roman was even more convenient and highly developed than today.

Overshadowed by Pompeii often but just as important to visit. Many of the ruins are more preserved than Pompeii. Much smaller site. We visited end of January and a dream, no crowds. Probably only 2 - 3 hours needed to do it all. A must visit!

If you’re doing Pompeii, there will be a lot of similarities between what you see there and what you see here. There aren’t too many information boards around so I’d recommend you get an audio guide or a tour if you want to spend a bit longer here and understand it. It’s a lot quieter than Pompeii, but a lot smaller too.

Incredible ruins from the mount Vesuvius eruption of 79AD. Not as well know as Pompeii, but absolutely worth a visit. The part of the city you can visit is much smaller than Pompeii, but the buildings are more intact, and the remaining mosaic tile, painted artwork, and structures are amazing. Absolutely glad we added this to our visit around Naples and would recommend it to anyone. We also had a guided tour from an archeologist who made the trip even more educational, with a twist of humor. (Raphael and Giovanni from Askos tours)

It's an unbelievable experience, don' t miss visiting this archeological site. The area is not too big, you can easily walk around in 2- 3 hours. The ruins are better preserved than in Pompei. In March the port stores with the skeletons are closed. The most unbelievable for me was that the visitors could walk on the more than 2000 year old mosaic floors.

Well, astonishing to say the least. Civilised, modern living community, with hot drink and fast food outlets....even surplus cash to have a 'shocking' sculpture done to grab attention and raise a laugh....until the volcano ash came done that is! Well worth a visit.

I visited the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum and it was really cool. The ancient ruins were fascinating to explore and I learned a lot about the history of the place. The preserved buildings and artifacts were impressive, and it was interesting to see how people lived back then. The park was well-maintained. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're into history and ancient civilizations.

Went in the late fall in 2023. Beautiful and quiet, almost no crowds at all which allowed us to take our time and look around. There was an eery quietness to the day, with Mt Vesuvius overlooking the ruins. There were plenty of places to sit throughout, and a clean bathroom. There wasn't any real place to eat in the park, so either bring your own or stop at one of the places nearby just outside the park. The mini museum has some fantastic things to see, it is quiet and clean. If you have problems walking over rough terrain, or up and down hills you may have problems with this site. It's much smaller than Pompeii but still quite vast, and some very up and down areas. Rocky areas can be tricky and some areas are narrow going into.

The museum in itself was cool, with interesting projections and such. The staff was, sadly, really rude, and made it clear they wouldn’t be taking any questions, so it took me some time to figure out how everything worked. I think I’d have to go back to enjoy it more as I missed out on a lot of things. The 4D film at the end was really well made but definitely not 4D. Overall something enjoyable if you’re given the time to see it, and definitely something I’d recommend for children.

A good place to visit to complement your tour of the excavation. We really enjoyed seeing 3D rendering of remains of rooms we had visited just an hour before, giving us good ideas on how they actually were 2000 years ago. Unfortunately, the technology used is already dated. The video projectors are no longer performing well, are misaligned and out of focus. Some exhibitions are no longer working. With some renovation and modernization, this exhibitions would have huge potential and be 5 stars

Sadly not worth the time and way better alternatives. A lot of the technology they are using is rather old so nothing really left a lasting impression. A lot of the stations also didn't work, we couldn't figure out a way to activate them. The staff wasn't friendly at all and just wanted to go home, they told us a couple of times to hurry up so we wouldn't miss out on the "4D" movie, which wasn't worth all the hype at all. Guess it was an amazing experience years ago but nowadays this is majorly outdated...

I visited the Museo Archeologico Virtuale back in 2019. It's a fantastic concept, providing an interactive experience of what Herculaneum would’ve been like just before and during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Much of the exhibition are video experiences of the buildings showing what they would’ve looked like before the eruption, as well as on some of the archaeological artefacts. The experience ends with an all round cinematic experience of life in Herculaneum

The app was working for us, the visuals weren't all working. Buy the ticket at Ercolano for discount. Don't expect help from the staff, who's English proficiency is probably the reason. We enjoyed it nevertheless because it visualized what you've just witnessed in full colour.

I can not give it less than one star which it truly deserves. We felt like we were robbed of the 20 euros we paid and to top it off the girl at the desk robbing our money Carla was so disrespectful it was unbelievable. She threw my credit card and the fob to operate the displays at me across the counter and smirked when she did it. Definitely has a problem with people skills!!!!!

The museum tells the sorry of Pompeii and Ercelano. It is an interactive museum however the exhibits are not very well maintained with some not working or half working. There is a 3d movie at the end which is nice but not very impressive. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a good option for an activity on a rainy day.

Interesting, especially appealing to kids (possibly except the lupanar :) Tip: getting the MAV tickets at the real archaeological site close-by (Ercolano Scavi, info desk at the entrance) gets you a small discount (8€ instead of 10€ at the MAV ticket office directly).

The idea is very good with films that show not only reconstructions from Herculanum, but also from Pompeii. I don't really understand why the watch-like thing one is given is necessary, as it is only used three times. There are additional texts in several places and some texts only in Italian. Some of the films felt a bit like: see what we can do with a computer. And please, let somebody translate the English texts again. Some of them were so bad, that they were meaningless. Go there before you visit the excavation.

Modern museum full of interesting Herculaneum history. The lady at the front desk was very matter of fact but very helpful too. 3D cinema, VR experience, virtual drone flying along with the historical pieces within, this museum was a great experience, certainly worth doing whilst in Herculaneum

Was quirky! I Learnt a lot, and I was the only one there as I went early. The staff were lovely and helpful

We were disapointed. They are talking about the food taste, smell taste,.. nothing happened..

The exhibit was not very efficient in explaining what happened in Ercolano and Pompeii+not well maintained and very boring. Movie at the end was somewhat nice

Very beautiful villa. It was very quiet when we went - it's part tourist attraction and part offices. We explored around and sometimes accidentally wondered into someone's office! It was the perfect place to spend an hour before catching a flight from Naples. I would recommend getting a drink and snack and sitting in the beautiful surroundings to relax away from the bustle of the town.

Nice but not worth the money (5 euro entrance fee even when the exhibition was under construction)

Sunday 14:00 Gate closed and sign says they close at 13:00 on Sundays. The Website, google maps and tour guides all list it as opwn until 18:00 on Sundays.

Randomly found this after visiting Herculaneum. What a treasure! Very inexpensive (€5/person) entrance with secure parking. They had some modern art on display as a bonus. The view of the bay during a sunny day is breathtaking.

TL;DR Huge potential, but right now total rip off. Maybe for Italians this place can be wonderful and really joyfully. Foreigners in my opinion are not welcome here. Really helpful and cheerful, but none English speaking staff. It's sad that "Arte Card" don't work here either. From outside you will be thinking that this place is luxurious and well-preserved in comparison to surrounding. This is big mistake. On the ground floor you have nothing special. You will find a neglected garden and fountain. Little bit further, there are plenty of empty spaces inside of the villa. On the right side of the hall there are some other small neglected gardens. First experience was pretty awful. The only hope was higher levels and we spent 15 min looking for way to go there (behind small doors there is an elevator). On the first floor again there was almost nothing. Empty spaces, no signs, no informations. Only paintings on celling (pretty awesome) and few furnitures with some arts. We go even higher, but on second floor there are only offices. I really like the paintings and all building decorations. In my opinion this place has huge potential, but right now it's not worth such money.

We were not aware that there was a ticket visiting the place. And we were charged at the end. The entry was 5EUR, but nothing much to do, if you really are not sure on what you are doing.

Beautiful Villa and amazing location. currently (04/2016) undergoing renovation so be sure to check opening hours and visitable areas

nicely maintained sculptures

Great first stop in the Herculaneum site.

My dad was there in 1944.

Visited the park back in 2019. The Casa del Tramezzo di Legno building is so called because of the well-preserved wooden screen, which was used to separate the atrium from the main room. The latter houses a low marble table and some seats, although I’m not sure if these were originally part of the house. It’s pretty obvious the house must’ve belonged to a wealthy individual. The walls seem to have been painted in a red theme, but sadly most of it is gone and were left to only imagine what once was. The house is worth a detour if you have time.

(Translated by Google) The house of the Deers in Herculaneum is a house from the Roman era, buried during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and found following archaeological excavations. It is named after the discovery, in the garden, of two statues of deer attacked by dogs. It was built during the reign of Emperor Claudius and was owned by Granius Verus, a freed slave. The pyroclastic flows of Vesuvius buried it and allowed its conservation. It was brought to light at the beginning of the twentieth century. The main architectural elements are the triclinium with paintings and the cubicles. (Original) La casa dei Cervi ad Ercolano è una casa di epoca romana, sepolta durante l'eruzione del Vesuvio del 79 e ritrovata a seguito degli scavi archeologici. Viene chiamata così per il ritrovamento, nel giardino, di due statue di cervi assaliti da cani. Fu costruita durante il regno dell’imperatore Claudio ed era di proprietà di Granius Verus, uno schiavo affrancato. I flussi piroclastici del Vesuvio la seppellirono e ne hanno consentito la conservazione. Fu portata alla luce all’inizio del novecento. I principali elementi architettonici sono il triclinio con pitture ed i cubicoli.

Amazing place.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Roman villa with its garden and statues. The house is quite well preserved, with frescoes and mosaics on the floor. The paving in the garden is superb.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place? Definitely worth a trip or an excursion - very interesting. However, the books - which you can buy at the checkout - are full of errors! €17 is too much for that. The man at the checkout was so unfriendly - he only answered questions briefly and annoyed. That's a shame because the place is great. (Original) Sehr schöner Ort ? Definitiv eine Reise bzw. einen Ausflug wert - sehr interessant. Jedoch sind die Bücher - welche man an der Kasse kaufen kann, voller Fehler ! Dafür sind 17€ zu viel. Der Mann an der Kasse war so unfreundlich- er beantwortete Fragen nur knapp und genervt. Das ist schade denn der Ort ist toll.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful house, particularly the very well kept frescoes. Currently closed to the public due to lack of staff, but if you can access it (as in my case) thanks to some special exemptions for students, I highly recommend it.

Attualmente chiusa al pubblico per mancanza di personale, ma se vi si riesce ad accedere (come nel mio caso) grazie ad alcune particolari deroghe per studenti, la consiglio vivamente.

(Translated by Google) The best preserved house in the Herculaneum excavations, and also the most prestigious. It takes its name from two deer statues found in its garden and still has some clearly visible still life paintings on the walls. It directly overlooked the beach, where many human skeletons were found, perhaps waiting for boats to escape death, which unfortunately occurred anyway. (Original) La casa meglio conservata degli scavi di Ercolano, ed anche la più prestigiosa. Prende il nome da due statue di cervi rinvenute nel suo giardino, conserva ancora ben visibili dei quadretti sui muri di nature morte. Essa affacciava direttamente sulla spiaggia, nella quale sono stati rinvenuti molti scheletri umani, nell'attesa forse di imbarcazioni per sfuggire alla morte, che purtroppo sopraggiunse ugualmente.

Don’t skip this public bath just because it’s outside the city wall! There are several beautiful murals and mosaic here. The most interesting one was the locker room’s naming system of the lockers: beside numbers, sex positions were illustrated to help bathers remember which lockers they used.

It good to explore! You can spend a whole day there.

this the entrance of the old city Pompei

must see

Beautiful place.

Great experience

Interesting spot

It’s closed

Visited La casa dello Scheletro back in October. Also known as the House of Skeletons is probably the first interesting house I saw after entering the site. It’s so named for the skeletal remains found in the house (which have since been moved). Despite the lack of skeletons, it’s worth wandering into the house as two of the rooms have niches decorated with frescoes, especially the blue coloured frescoes in the nymphaeum.

(Translated by Google) A place you won't forget. (Original) Posto ke non dimenticherete.

(Translated by Google) The house of the Skeleton in Herculaneum represents a Roman house that was buried following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79. It was found two thousand years later with archaeological excavations. This house owes its name to the discovery of a human skeleton inside. The mud and ash flows of Vesuvius buried it together with the whole city and guaranteed its conservation. It was therefore first explored between 1830 and 1831 by Carlo Bonucci, and then later by Amedeo Maiuri in the early twentieth century. The house has access along cardo III and has an extension of four hundred and ten square meters. (Original) La casa dello Scheletro ad Ercolano rappresenta una casa di epoca romana che fu sepolta a seguito dell’eruzione del Vesuvio del 79. Venne ritrovata duemila anni dopo con gli scavi archeologici. Questa casa deve il suo nome al ritrovamento di uno scheletro umano al suo interno. Le colate di fango e cenere del Vesuvio la seppellirono insieme a tutta la città e ne hanno garantito la conservazione. Fu quindi esplorata dapprima tra il 1830 ed il 1831 da Carlo Bonucci, e poi successivamente da Amedeo Maiuri nel primo novecento. La casa ha accesso lungo il cardo III ed ha un'estensione di quattrocentodieci metri quadrati.

Lovely beach club. The entrance fee is 7€/person and the umbrella is included in the price. The entrance into the see is quite rocky, my friend cut her foot as well. So it be best to wear water shoes.

Lovely older ladies greeting you at door. €5 euros for sunbed and umbrella then reasonable drinks prices once in. Lots of fish in the water so would recommend taking a pair of goggles. Only caveat is that when the tide is out it can be nigh on impossible to swim due to the large rocks beneath.

Nice private beach. Entry price is 5 euro, it includes beach lounging and umbrella. Staff is polite and friendly, there is a bar with moderate (maybe even low) prices (aperol spritz 5, beer 0.33 5 euro, salad with fish 7.5). Water is opaque and clean, except the garbage floating on the surface (see photo). Water is super warm.

Hidden gem! 10 euros for 2 beds and the umbrella is free. Next door you pay 25/30! Super quiet and has great tropical vibes

From what I was able to see this is the smallest but cutest beach I've ever been to. The sand is volcanic black, the space is limited, but gorgeous. Flowers hang from a boardwalk leading to changing rooms and a bar. On the beach are lounging chairs with sunshade for your face. I only came and sat at the bar to enjoy the setting sun with a glass of wine.

It doesn't exist in February! The hours need to be updated. I totally understand that no one but a Brit is mad enough to want to go to the beach in February though...

American travellers! This place was great!! Would give more stars if I could. The beach was clean. Bathrooms and a shower house on site. We paid 28 euro for four lounge chairs and they let us use two umbrellas for free. Very polite folks, and thankfully, a couple of folks there spoke decent English. There is a nice bar with a patio on site, with food served in the afternoon. 35 euro for four mixed drinks and two bags of chips. Would definitely recommend!

Nice little private beach. Fair prices, the bar offers some food and drinks. Unfortunately, the water carries lots of garbage, not the owner's fault and probably a general problem around Naples, but it still makes one feel uncomfortable about going into the water.

Beautiful little park. Not an awful lot to do here but there are some nice buildings you sadly can’t enter. Definately ok if you want to relax or go to the beach (which is right behind a little passage at the back)

1969 de Villa Favorita The view from our 5th floor room was fantastic. And San Sabastian is an amazing and beautiful destination. But don’t stay here. Unfortunately, but for the view, the hotel does not have the depth of staff required to make this hotel excellent or even good. I will provide a few examples below. The rooms are typical for Europe and very small. They tried to upgrade the tech and add auto blinds next to the bed, but one of our room controls did not work so you had to get up to adjust the shades by the window anyway. So at that point, a typical curtain would be better. The faucets in the shower were an attempt at modern but were challenging and complicated to work. The toilet is Japanese tech and nice. It had a bidet. A couple of examples of the staffing issue. First, we had an early morning flight and went to the lobby at 6:45 am. We had made arrangements for an early driver and for the hotel to package us a breakfast and coffee. The breakfast idea was the hotels when I had them make arrangements for the driver. When we came down to the lobby exactly at 6:45 am, no one was there. The car came and I went out to get our luggage in and the Electonic door closed behind me. The problem is that the door locked behind me and I could not get back in. Terrible. My wife came and moved in front of the motion detector to get the door to open. I made sure she did not get locket out too, or she would have. (Double doors) The lobby person came with coffee and apologized for not being there and said she was making the coffee. She also said that the breakfast was not ready yet. She left. We waited ten minutes. We rang the bell. She never came back so we left for the airport. It was supposed to be a croissant and yogurt. It was not a cooked order or anything complicated. So that sucks. They should not have offered breakfast. Once they did, it should have been ready. They knew we had a flight and had booked the car for us. The second item has to do with integrity of the hotel. We had our laundry done by the hotel. We expected it to be expensive. We had them wash a handful of underwear and socks, a few workout clothes but no nice clothes. The room did not have a price list by the laundry. We told the person at the desk that there was no pricing list when my wife dropped off the laundry. You can and should expect it to be expensive in a hotel for laundry but this was outrageous. They must have charged for each sock. The bill was 132 euro (about 150 dollars) for one load. I could have bought new what we washed for less than that amount. I complained and the first person did nothing but say the price list is there and I carefully explained that it was not there. Later, the hotel adjusted the bill to $114 dollars when I complained to a different person, who was very nice but said she couldn’t adjust it more. I don’t usually write negative reviews, but feel we were cheated. I don’t like that feeling!!!! And it’s bad business. It was the hotel’s error, and I thought it would be 50 or 60 bucks, the cost is not a thing to me - and I feel blessed about that- but the cheating is a thing. It first it seemed by design, but I think it’s in line with the other service and staffing issues. Another example of a system and staffing failure: We used the hotel robes on the first day. They took those to wash and did but put them back. So we had to ask for them again. Overall, I cannot recommend the hotel. But it does have an amazing view if you can get the Electonic blinds to raise. So this Favorite hotel is not my favorite.

great

(Translated by Google) Villa Favorita is currently under renovation (very close to Villa Campolieto, which can instead be visited) and therefore closed to the public. Its park has been divided so that part of the park which thins out to the sea and leads to the small Bourbon port of Herculaneum is It has become a public park, very suggestive as you reach the sea you can see Capri. (Original) La villa Favorita è attualmente in ristrutturazione (molto vicina a villa Campolieto, che invece è visitabile) e quindi chiusa al pubblico, il suo parco è stato diviso per cui una parte di parco quello che dirada al mare e conduce al porticciolo Borbonico di Ercolano è diventato parco pubblicò, molto suggestivo arrivando al mare è visibile Capri.

(Translated by Google) As soon as I arrive at the entrance in the late afternoon I ask the custodians what the closing time is, and with great elegance and professionalism they tell me in dialect "when it's about to get dark". Free entry and parking, a few families in this beautiful garden with historic buildings of the villa at the back and sides that are not well kept at all. I set off towards what many have told me is very beautiful, namely the sea side. As I walk I find a small terrace on the left where I can admire the sunset, but alas the clouds cover the horizon and the spectacle of a diving sun in the sea, while everything between the terrace and the sea is a jumble of neglected things. They tell me that you can reach the beach through a nearby gate, I rushed over and what was shown to me was a mess of cars parked irregularly on a small road, dirt everywhere, a wooden construction of a beach closed in winter . Sadness envelops me and the proximity of the caretakers, the state of neglect of the villa and above all its surroundings, makes me rate the experience a 2 stars, but being from the area, I get 3 stars for an emotional reason (Original) Appena arrivo all ingresso in tardo pomeriggio chiedo ai custodi quale sia l orario di chiusura, e con grande eleganza e professionalità mi dicono in dialetto "quando sta per fare notte". Entrata e parcheggio gratis , un po' di famiglie in questo bellissimo giardino con in fondo e sui lati costruzioni storiche della villa per niente tenute bene. Mi avvio verso quello che in molti mi hanno detto essere molto bello, e cioè il lato mare.Nel camminare trovo sulla sinistra una piccola terrazza dove ammirare il tramonto, ma ahimè le nuvole coprono l'orizzonte e lo spettacolo di un sole che si tuffa nel mare, mentre tutto quello che c'è tra la terrazza e il mare è una accozzaglia di cose trascurate. Mi dicono che si può raggiungere la spiaggia attraverso un cancello la vicino, mi precipitò e ciò che mi si mostra è uno scempio di macchine parcheggiate su una piccola stradina in modo irregolare, sporcizia dappertutto, una costruzione in legno di un lido d' inverno chiuso. La tristezza mi avvolge e l approssimazione dei custodi, lo stato di trascuratezza della villa e soprattutto ciò che lo circonda, mi fa valutare un 2 stelle l esperienza, ma essendo della zona, arrivo a 3 stelle per un fatto affettivo

(Translated by Google) The oasis of peace in the city. A beautiful, quiet and well-kept place. You can relax on the lawn, read on a bench in the shade of a tree, admire the wonder of the internal structures, and in summer go all the way to the beach. There is also free internal parking, really convenient. It is one of the most beautiful places in Herculaneum. (Original) L'oasi di pace in città. Un posto bellissimo, tranquillo e ben tenuto. Ci si può rilassare sul prato, leggere su una panchina al fresco di un albero, ammirare la meraviglia delle strutture interne, in estate arrivare fino alla spiaggia. C'è anche un parcheggio interno gratuito, davvero comodissimo. È uno dei posti più belli di Ercolano.

It could use some restoration but it is still wonderful. (Original) Villa vesuviana storica con accesso al famoso molo Borbonico. Spettacolare la vista sul golfo. Meraviglioso anche il parco superiore ed inferiore. Avrebbe bisogno di qualche restauro ma è sempre stupenda.
