Palazzo Adele

In my opinion, Palazzo Adele is the best place we ever stayed in. If we go to Ercolano again, it would be our only choice. The building is very elegant. The terrace on the 2nd floor (or 1st floor in Europe) is spacious. The parking is gated, only opened with a key fob. The room is spotless; I even feel comfortable walking on the floor barefooted. The owner is such a nice guy! When we arrived, he gave us a warm greeting. He also provided us with some great advice on how to go to visit Vesuvius and Pompeii, as well as where to eat. In fact, he printed out some useful information, which became our guidebook in the following few days. We went to the Herculaneum Site as he suggested, spent nearly 2 hours there, only covered 60% of the whole place. We followed his instruction to purchase the tickets to Vesuvius, and had a great trip there. We asked about restaurant, he suggested a few of them. We tried the best one on the list, Bistrot Italia, fantastic food, affordable price, nice wine, and impressive service. It was so good that on the day we left, we went there again. The location of Palazzo Adele is great! Walking distance to almost everywhere (the train station, the Herculaneum Park, restaurants, The Royal Palace of Portici, oh and an amazing gelato place). The neighborhood is nice. I remembered we walked through a short tunnel and there was not even a slight trace of urine smell in the air, which was very, very impressive. All in all, Palazzo Adele is a great place to stay. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the Naples and Pompeii area.

Ercolano as a town, although safe, is a bit rough around the edges. The same cannot be said for Palazzo Adele. It is a beautiful property. The rooms are absolutely lovely, extremely clean, and very comfortable. The staff could not be more helpful and communicative. We received great restaurant recommendations and they assisted us in getting an excellent taxi driver who took us to some of the sites we wanted to see and not deal with the traffic and parking issues that can exist in and around Naples. The hotel was a perfect location to stay to see Herculaneum. The archeological site is a quick walk. It also was convenient to Pompeii and Naples. The train is about a 6-8 minute walk away and a taxi is convenient as well. We parked our car there and the on-site parking was a real plus. Another mention about the staff. Everyone was truly wonderful. Extremely friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
