Description

Located in the historic heart of Herculaneum, this splendid period villa represents a rare investment opportunity in the tourism and hospitality sector of the Vesuvian area. Immersed in a context of great charm and archaeological importance, a few steps from the excavations of Herculaneum and well connected to Naples and the Sorrento Coast, the property is divided into nine residential units, but thanks to the generous dimensions of the building, the large surrounding garden and to the strategic position, it lends itself perfectly to a tailor-made redevelopment project. The interior spaces, which can be easily remodelled, allow for the creation of high-quality solutions perfect for those who wish to start a hotel or non-hotel business, such as a boutique hotel or a charming B&B in a unique location, adapting to any need. The villa, dating back to the early ‘900, retains original architectural elements of great value: high ceilings, ancient cement floors, large windows and an imposing central staircase. The structure is spread over several levels for a total covered area of approximately 1163 m2, surrounded by a private garden of over 1,000 m2, centuries-old trees and shaded corners. The garden is a versatile solution that lends itself to being furnished and equipped with a refreshing above-ground swimming pool, ideal for the summer season, as well as having the potential to host events. Inside, the current layout allows you to create rooms with private bathrooms, a spacious entrance hall, common rooms, a catering area and a relaxation area. The sale includes the property, free from management restrictions, offering the future owner the opportunity to renovate and customise the project according to their own style and market requirements. Thanks to its history, central location and generous size, this villa is a unique opportunity for those wishing to invest in the heart of Campania, surrounded by culture, sea and nature.

    Location: Ercolano, Campania

    A city where history blends with the sea, culture and the future of hospitality. In the heart of Campania, nestled between the slopes of Vesuvius and the waters of the Gulf of Naples, Herculaneum is a city with unique charm, combining the grandeur of Roman history, the beauty of the Vesuvian landscape and the authentic warmth of Mediterranean life. Known throughout the world for its extraordinary archaeological site, the ancient Herculaneum, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Herculaneum offers a profound and engaging cultural experience. Less crowded but perfectly preserved compared to nearby Pompeii, it gives visitors the feeling of walking through a Roman city that is still alive, with frescoed houses, mosaics, baths and intact shops. But Herculaneum is not just archaeology. It is also a lively, well-organised and perfectly connected city, offering all essential services and much more: schools, pharmacies, banks, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, shops, public offices and a vibrant commercial scene. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on promoting the area and reviving tourism, with cultural events, restoration projects and public initiatives aimed at rediscovering its heritage. Herculaneum occupies a truly privileged position. It is only 10 km from Naples and well connected both by motorway (A3 Naples-Salerno) and by the Circumvesuviana railway line, which directly connects the city with Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento and other iconic destinations in the region. In just a few minutes, you can reach the entrance to Vesuvius National Park, with its scenic trails and spectacular climb to the crater. At the same time, the sea is just a few steps away, with the Bourbon Port and the coast offering enchanting views and the possibility of boat excursions to Capri, Ischia and the Sorrento Peninsula. Naples Capodichino International Airport is also a short distance away, reachable in about 20 minutes by car, making Herculaneum a perfect base for welcoming travellers from all over the world. What makes Herculaneum even more fascinating is the presence of the sumptuous Vesuvian Villas of the Golden Mile, 18th-century noble residences surrounded by greenery and overlooking the sea, testimony to a time when the Neapolitan nobility chose this stretch of coastline as an exclusive holiday resort. Among these, Villa Campolieto, Villa Favorita and many others stand out, which today host cultural events, exhibitions and concerts. Herculaneum is therefore much more than just a tourist destination: it is a valuable destination, ideal for those looking for a place to invest in projects related to hospitality, culture or prestigious residences. It is a city where millennial history and contemporary dynamism coexist, looking to the future with ambition, without forgetting its roots.
