Find the Cheap Ercolano Hotels

Looking to do some sight-seeing in southern Italy near Napoli? Hotel Puntaquattroventi fit the bill perfectly. We were two families of four. We have four boys between us (ages 8 - 15). We were traveling to Napoli & to Pompeii so Ercolano was perfectly positioned in-between the two. Here are the highlights: - The Parking: Included and very accessible. I don’t recall there being a valet but it was steps from the front door in a gated lot. If you have a car, you just pull right in on arrival. - The Rooms: For a family of four, it was good because we could get two queen sized beds and a large bathroom with a balcony overlooking the ocean. One thing to note here: the rooms, as is the entire hotel, were a bit dated. I’d describe it as a very well kept 1980s Miami vibe. Ultimately, every thing was clean and comfortable. - The Pools: There are two salt water pools (one indoor and one out). The indoor pool is olympic sized. Also note the the facilities are used by the community. I think there is a local swim team that practices there but it was never a problem. It sort of added to the atmosphere because the place was all inclusive but you were still around locals. My kids are swimmers and it kept them amused our entire stay. - The Beach: The beach was steps from the outdoor pool. You have to walk down some stair, but it is passable. The beach is a quintessential Naopolitan beach. It’s rocky but they had ample lounge chairs and umbrellas. They even had a covered lanai to get out of the sun. (Both the pool and the beach are almost a must if you are doing a walking tour of Pompeii in July.) - The Food: The breakfast was a buffet and included in our room fee. It was both savory & sweet with pastry & cured meats. Fantastic. The restaurant was great for dinner. All dining areas are on outdoor balconies and have amazing waterfront views. There is also a full service snack bar by the pool that is reasonably priced. Truthfully, we stayed there for four nights and barely eat off the grounds during that time. - The Staff: Knowledgable & courteous (i.e. - They suffered through my very poor Italian but also spoke English when needed : ) - The Price: Considering all it included, it was very reasonable. Ultimately, I decided to write this review months later because I keep thinking back to how amazing it was. I’ve been to Italy several times both alone & to visit my Italian family. This was the perfect place to build in some R & R on a trip that was very busy. I would definitely go there again.

L'hotel Herculaneum è situato proprio di fronte all'entrata degli scavi di Ercolano, vicino alla stazione della circumvesuviana, comodissimo per gli ospiti che intendono visitare l'antica Ercolano. Noi avevamo prenotato una camera doppia, ma ci hanno omaggiato un upgrade, facendoci alloggiare in una tripla molto ampia. La camera è pulita e dotata di tutto ciò che occorre e così il bagno, con tanti asgiugamani e una doccia grande. La colazione, soddisfacente, dolce e salata, viene servita in una bella sala vista mare e scavi. La sera prima occorre comunicare l'orario prescelto ed i cibi che si gradiscono, compilando una scheda, penso a causa delle restrizioni Covid. Vicino all'hotel vi sono moltissimi bar, pizzerie, ristoranti e negozi di vario genere per ogni necessità. In conlusione, un ottimo soggiorno in una location gradevole e non cara. Il personale è molto cortese e preparato. Sicuramente un bel soggiorno da consigliare.

We stayed here for 9 nights and picked the hotel as we thought it would be quieter outside of Naples city centre. The staff were incredible and could not do enough to help. A big thanks to Francesco and the reception team who were especially helpful organising trips, recommending restaurants and sorting out any problems. The shuttle bus to Ercolano station was very useful as the hotel was not central to any towns, you just have to make sure you book your place. Direct trains from Ercolano to Naples, Sorrento and along the coast made it easy to get around without a car. You could walk to San Georgio a Cremano town/station which was about 20 mins from the hotel, useful if you missed the shuttle. The hotel has pretty gardens but, when we were there there was about 3 weddings a day so it could be quite noisy, however none went late into the evening. We hoped the hotel would we well situated for walking but it was not, it is in the middle of a suburban area. The bar area was right outside one of the wedding rooms so you couldn't sit and have a quiet drink as it was too noisy. We booked a junior suite for the 2 of us, the website mentioned a sitting area but when we got there found we had a double room with adjoining single room which was not much good for us. We spoke to reception and they organised to get us 2 comfortable chairs instead of the single bed. This was great especially as the first couple of days of our stay were rainy so we could not sit on the terrace. We ate in the Line restaurant twice, however as we don't eat fish there was a very limited choice on the menu. A lot of the restaurants nearby had closed so if you don't have a car there is not a lot of choice. Reception booked us into De Vito, an excellent local restaurant which was lovely, they even picked us up and dropped us back after our meal, delicious simple Italian food and very good value, we went 3 times during our stay. In summary, we had a good stay, helpful staff and a good base to explore the area using the hotel shuttle to the station and easy to get around using the trains.
