Miglio d’Oro Park Hotel is in a prime location in Ercolano, perfect for visiting Herculaneum and exploring the region. It’s a 15-minute walk from Ercolano Scavi station, though Portici-Ercolano station offers more frequent and cheaper trains, about a 25-minute walk or a quick cab ride away.
The hotel itself is charmingly quirky—like a grand mansion with a faded elegance. Our room was spacious with high ceilings and a patio with ocean views, though the patio lacked furniture and needed some maintenance. The bathroom was large but had no shower, only a bathtub. The grounds were beautiful, with ruins and a pond, though a bit overgrown, adding to its character.
The pool was lovely but not perfectly maintained, with slippery tiles. Breakfast was included but basic, offering cold options that were the same each day. The staff was helpful, especially with arranging cabs, though the laundry service only operates on weekdays, something to keep in mind.
Despite the quirks, I’d stay here again for the location and unique atmosphere. If you appreciate charm over polish and are willing to adapt, it’s a memorable place to stay.
