An amazing place, in an old building with lots of character. Teresa and Luca were really helpful, proving a great breakfast and recommending places to eat. I would definitely stay here again.
Car parking is tight but ok if you have a medium or small car, and you probably wouldn’t get a large car through the entrance gate. As the listing says, there are steps (four small flights) from the courtyard to the Villa entrance door so please take that into consideration if you have mobility restrictions or difficulties.

After growing tired of cold, cookie-cutter modern hotels, we were searching for a place with genuine old-world charm and character. We found exactly that at Villa Durante. The property is absolutely beautiful, full of elegance and history, and provided a truly memorable experience. The owner and staff were warm, gracious hosts who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are so glad we chose this wonderful hidden gem. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special.

Villa Durante was a lovely stay for my two sisters and I. The villa was large and very accommodating, we had plenty of space and two bathrooms was a nice bonus! The hosts were so kind and accommodating. The daily breakfast was an absolute delight! A bit of a walk from the train station, and we struggled with the Naples area public transportation but the Villa Durante made it a memorable stay for sure!

A very unique property! It was great for a one night stay. We had to leave early and they were so kind to fix breakfast for us earlier than usual. Could use some updates such as places to recharge phones. Not really possible to get luggage up to the bedroom with spiral staircase. Shower is very small. But we are glad we stayed in a place with so much history.

We stayed in the San Felice superior double room. It was clean and the bed was comfortable, though the bathroom is small and there is insufficient room for towels. Breakfast was plentiful and the staff were polite and friendly, but with very limited English. The villa is about 10 min walk from the Herculaneum
archaeological site. If not driving, it is best to arrive by taxi as the villa is difficult to find and the route from the train station is dirty and uneven for wheeled suitcases (enter the courtyard at Corso Resina 310, turn left, take the stairs, 3rd door on the right, phone the hotel to gain entry). Unfortunately, the large polished wood staircase makes the downstairs seating area rather cramped and uncomfortable, with very little space for personal items. The staircase was also rather slippery; in fact we each fell on it when visiting the bathroom downstairs at night. My husband still has the bruises!

Beautiful historic Villa near Herculaneum

My husband and I stayed in Ercolano at Villa Durante for 2 nights on our vacation through Italy. Therese was a wonderful hostess - so kind, gracious and thoughtful. The property is a beautifully restored 18th century villa within 10 minutes of Herculaneum. The train station is a 15-minute walk, and there are lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance.

After visiting Naples for dinner, I was glad that we stayed outside of the city. Ercolano feels safe and the people are so welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our time there.

Surprisingly noisy, both outside and in.

When we were due to leave we were told we had to pay extra for our son, for which we had already paid extra through Hotels.com. They quite insistent even though I showed them the booking and we had to leave to ensure we arrived for a tour on time so I paid it to get the hell out of there. I’ll be taking it up with hotels.com. Pretty poor from the hotels point of view, so beware. They need to sort out their pricing with hotels.com. Just made a good stay poor.

Villa Durante was like stepping back in time! The room was perfect for a family and provided space and privacy. The staff was very helpful. Beautiful breakfast was provided.

I wish I realized staff was not on property though. We weren’t sure if we were there completely alone or not and when we had questions at night we didn’t know what to do. We took the “closest” train stop, but I recommend getting off at Ercolano Scavi to experience the town a bit. The other stop had us thinking we were very isolated, but really weren’t.

Ercolano is most likely not on your Italy vacation travel as a place to stay. However, if you plan on visiting Pompei and Herculaneum I would highly recommend Villa Durante. The staff was fantastic.

The Breakfast was outstanding Ercolano is a \"real\" Italian city and I loved the streets with all of the balconys.

An absolute gem of a place

This is such a beautiful hotel/BnB. It’s pure old school magic, with really high ceilings and original fixtures - the pictures looked almost too good to be true but it’s even more special in real life. Our room (family suite) was enormous, very comfortable and clean and the breakfasts were delicious. Francesca who does the breakfasts was super lovely and great with kids, and everyone else there was really friendly and helpful too. The location is great both for exploring the ruins at Ercolano and for getting into Naples easily. Can’t recommend this place highly enough and really hope to come back again.

Luxury with a massive dollop of history.

This stay was one of the most luxurious stays we feel we have ever had. From entering the villa with the welcome from Francesca on our arrival to leaving this morning we have felt welcomed, cared for and most of all looked after.
Theresa delivered our breakfast to our suite each morning with a smile and asked after us both in either Italien or occaisionally in French! She had put together a selection of breads, and fruit to sate our hunger first thing in the morning. The breakfast was of course excellent quality.
The suite itself was above and beyond what we were expecting, the amount of space available just for us was incredible. A huge lounge area (where breakfast was served each morning) and a large spacious bathroom. And additional dressing room. Then to the bedroom with its vaulted ceiling, deep sunken bath and large comfortable bed. Then finally we reach the outside balcony with its seclusion and privacy. On a better warmer evening it would have been the perfect place to relax with a glass of red wine.

We would absolutely reccomend this accommodation to all our friends and family. We also hope to return one day for another visit.

Villa Durante was easily the most special and unique accommodation of our entire trip around Italy.
From the warm welcome of the staff to the uniqueness of the palatial suite of rooms. Villa Durante is an original, palatial old villa built by a wealthy family in the 1700's/ 1800's. We stayed in the suite with the frescoed walls and it was truly amazing. The room itself was huge, and we also had two bathrooms, one incredibly ornate one fit for a Queen, as well as second bathroom and large dressing room area. The bed was supremely comfortable.
Breakfast is wonderful and was brought into us each morning on a table for us to sit and enjoy in front of our balcony.
Parking too is incredibly easy, it is on the premises in a gated private courtyard, and the location of Villa Durante itself is incredibly handy. Much easier to get to than we expected, and an amazing base to explore from. You can travel anywhere and we did, into downtown Naples or you can travel to the airport easily, or over to Vesuvius and Sorrento. Lastly, the incredible buried town of Herculaneum is literally just across the street. We saved ourselves a trip to Pompei and visited Herculaneum instead and were not disappointed.
We agreed that we would always stay at Villa Durante again. We can't recommend it highly enough. Just loved it. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff.

It has a great location only 20 minutes drive from the Mt Vesuvius climb and around the same to the ruins of Pompeii. It is also walking distance to the other lesser known ruins of Herculaneum.

A hidden gem …stay in style

We arrived from Naples airport quite late and was greeted by Francesca who was so helpful to guide the taxi driver to the villa door. Taxis are expensive and it cost us 65 euros. The villa is a hidden gem and each room is as stylish and beautiful as the pictures on the website. Our room was a mini suite which was spacious and comfortable with good AC. We arrived too late to go for dinner however there seemed to be various cafes / restaurants around. Francesca and Teresa arranged the most beautiful and delicious breakfast of croissants, fresh fruit, yoghurt and perfect cappuccinos which they bought to our room. We visited Herculaneum which is literally 5 minutes walk away which is fantastic and really worth a visit. We cannot thank Francesca and Teresa enough for their kind hospitality to make this such a memorable stay. We had a short walk to the rail station to head off to Pompeii. Highly recommend.

The room was beautiful, but the facilities are lacking a bit. The hot water ran out while I was running a bath, and there was no extra toilet paper and things just felt kind of spare. But I think you are paying for the extraordinarily beautiful space, which is very much a treat to be in. I found check-in and check-out confusing, but feel like my confusion was no fault of theirs. Breakfast was nice and served by the loveliest, friendliest woman. It was not quite what is pictured on their website, though.

The lovely and gracious Theresa, had our breakfast beautifully laid out for us at the dining table, at the very early am, as we requested. The breakfast was delightful and plentiful.

The location…. steps from the Herculaneum ruins… and proximity to old Naples was perfect for our stay (20 min by car, local Transit makes it great location)

It is close to train line (think Sorrento and Pompeii) and good local dining sports that are reasonably priced. The staff are really great and worked to make our stay the best experience.

Lovely old palazzo, cheerful staff, hotel located next to Ercolano ruins (our reasons for staying here) … book the w large rooms if you can - expansive, well priced, and quite elegant. Also a very generous breakfast served with a smile! Of course this is not the Four Seasons but it is priced very well. Issues? It was super hot the days we visited - airco was - well - barely adequate - but that often happens; we have friends who own large palazzos in other parts of Italy and it can get very hot despite airco. The owner of Durante was helpful and did what he could. They could have more electrical outlets for chargers - computers - etc. But perhaps that is only an issue in the small room we rented (only one available). We just unplugged a couple of lamps —- The town of Ercolano isn’t very touristy except for the ruins - inexplicably the ruins are closed on Wednesday during high tourist season! But Villa Durante has parking, and if you are driving it could be a good ‘day trip’ central location to drive to Amalfi Coast or Napoli to explore, and return to palazzo to sleep every night. There was a large outdoor market as well very near the hotel that was fun to see. Also - the owner Mauricio has a charming and quite tasty restaurant just across the street we would recommend.

Perfect location, impressive Villa

We stayed in Villa Durante for two nights. We wanted to be somewhere close to Pompei, Ercolano and the coast. Villa Durante is 5 minutes away from Ercolano Scavi and the Circumvesiviana train station. It was very easy to move around. Teresa and Claudia were very kind and helpful. The room was impressivec clean and comfortable, and my children will never forget the nights they slept “in a museum”. Breakfast was delicious and served in the regal dinning room. We went to two local restaurants while we stayed in the villa, Viva Lo Re and Pappamonte. Both delicious. We also bought sandwiches in a local deli. Ercolano is not the prettiest little town but our stayed was perfect.

18th Century Villa very well preserve and with the best breast ever “do not skip it”
Teresa, Claudia and Georgia are amazing and they will go out of their way to help you in anyway.
5 min away from the Archeological site
1 minute away from a Michelins tour guide restaurant (Viva Lo Re)
25 minutes from the city of Naples away of the crowds but close enough to visit the city.
Great place and great town overall.
Hidden gem location and central for all tours to Sorrento, Positano Amalfi, Pompei and Vesuvius
Good travels!!

Anniversary trip

Teresa, Claudia, and Giorgia made us feel very welcome and comfortable. They where available to help book any day trips we might have wanted and booked our transfers to the train station. Breakfast was wonderful and on our schedule.
We really enjoyed the living spaces for relaxing in the evenings.
This Villa would be great to book all three suites for family gatherings.

Beautiful, spacious and just as good as it looks

Very rural but fabulous place to stay, excellent service and the staff helped us organise travel to Vesuvius and Pompeii. You must try Viva Lo Re and the fabulous wine bar just around the corner.

The room is beautiful, large, and having a lot of frescoes. The in room breakfast were delicious with plenty of fruits. Staffs, Teresa and Claudia were very friendly and eager to communicate with us and help us. We enjoyed our meals at the owner’s Restrauant across the street every night. This hotel is in walking distance to Herculaneum and short train distance to Pompeii ruin. I would recommend to stay in this hotel if your main interests are visiting Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Almafi coastal cities in three days.

This was a very interesting place. I enjoyed the vintage atmosphere and big hot tub. The breakfast was very good. I enjoyed it but it was a little too far from the downtown Naples. The neighborhood was not as I thought it would be somewhat dirty.

Amazing place. 3 beautiful rooms in this magnificent palace with high ceilings, outstanding decorations, on-site parking and just 10 min walk to Herculaneum ruins. Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast. And just across the street is one of the best restaurants we ate at: Viva Lo Re. The perfect stay!

Sleep like a nobleman or woman.

Felt like nobles in our villa in Ercolano! A pretty amazing building with an amazing bedroom - look at the picture - it really looks like that. Spacious. Nice breakfast spread too. Furnishings are a little sparse in the place (some bedside table would be nice to put those lamps on) but overall loved our stay.

Nothing like this hotel in US

Exquisite hotel. Huge suite, great value for the money. Breakfast brought into our sitting room on a rolling table & it included more than we could eat, fruit, juice, yogurt, granola, croissants, cappuccino & more. Practically on top of the magnificent ruins of Herculaneum & 20 minutes drive to Pompeii. Total splendor.

Amazing! Great! Fantastic!

We loved everything about our stay at the beautiful Villa Durante! This exquisite villa dates back to the 18th century, and is filled with magnificent frescoes, artwork, and the original tiled floors. We felt like we were staying in a royal palace. We slept like babies; super comfortable beds, and really great pillows!
Our host, Sara, was lovely; so helpful and hospitable. We ate across the street at the restaurant, Viva Lo Re both nights. Both the restaurant and the Villa are owned by Maurizio, who is also the chef at this amazing restaurant. Seriously, everything we ate was unbelievably delicious! It is not an exaggeration to say this these two meals were truly the best we have ever eaten, anywhere! We loved the ambience and every little attention to detail; the beautiful handmade glassware, the incredible selection of wine, the creative and unique menu, the decor, and of course, the personalized treatment from Maurizio and his team. They really rolled out the red carpet and made us feel like we were family! Two days with simply not enough, we will stay longer next time! Torneremo amici, a presto! Grazie, mille!!!
