Property details

A designer-worthy hotel in the countryside near Naples, set in vast gardens overlooking Mount Vesuvius - includes breakfast and a welcome drink
  • Idyllic setting: Perched dramatically on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, and perfect for exploring the ancient ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, Il San Cristoforo Agri Resort is a luxurious property with a suitably classical look. Set in huge gardens, the hotel resembles a stately Roman villa - though inside the aesthetic is much more modern.

  • Authentic dining: Each day begins with a breakfast buffet full of freshly baked and locally grown goodies. Throughout the day, AgriLine Restaurant serves up fantastic Italian cuisine in an atmospheric setting surrounded by citrus groves. Locally grown and produced ingredients are used to whip up pasta dishes, risottos, and of course classic Neapolitan pizza.

  • Soothing R&R: The peace and quiet of the hotel’s manicured gardens makes the perfect setting for utter relaxation. You'll find a classic kidney-shaped outdoor pool, which offers the rare chance for a dip against the backdrop of Mount Vesuvius.

How to get there

The hotel is located in the Naples town of Ercolano. Naples International Airport is 14 kilometres away, which is just under 20 minutes by car or an hour via public transport.

The hotel’s greatest feature is surely its setting, in a huge park set on rolling hills and dense with poplar, oak, elm and pine trees. Dramatic views of Vesuvius can be enjoyed throughout the park; don’t miss the opportunity to visit the volcano, whose slopes make for a fantastic hike.

A 20-minute drive to the south lies one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological sites in the form of the ruins of Pompeii, while Herculaneum is even closer by. Both sites are testament to the devastating power of Vesuvius. It’s also well worth paying a visit to nearby Naples, where you can savour the original pizza and explore an Aladdin’s cave of artistic and architectural masterpieces.
