Villa dei Misteri

Just 5 minutes from the archaeological site, this hotel takes its name from the ruins of an ancient Pompeian villa located on the same street.

The villa is known for a fresco portraying the initiation rites (or "mysteries") of the Dionysian cult. The hotel's relaxed family atmosphere has made it especially popular among archaeologists and architecture schools. It is also perfect for anyone who wants to visit the area away from the city traffic within easy reach of major transportation points.

The pool is in the shape of a classic vase and is 25 metres (83 feet) long. A long sun deck stretches above the pool. During the summer, part of the sun deck is used by the restaurant for outdoor dining. A small meeting room, seating up to 40 people, can be used to gather before visiting the archaeological digs or as a classroom.

Hotel information

The Villa dei Misteri Motel is located on the edge of the archeological area of Pompeii. The ancient city's main entrance (Porta Marina) is only 150 metres from us. The modern city's centre is only 2 km (less than a mile) away.

2 important means of transportation, the Circumvesuviana railway line and the A3 Napoli-Salerno highway, are nearby (150 and 300 metres). This makes the Motel Villa dei Misteri an ideal starting point for trips to the Sorrentine peninsula, the Amalfi Coast, the Mount Vesuvius area and Naples.

Food & beverage

The restaurant is available for lunch from 12:30 to 14:30 and for dinner from 19:30 to 22:30. Cookery is typical of Neapolitan tradition. In summertime, food is served on a terrace that surrounds the pool.
