La Medusa Grand Hotel-Timeless Villa Retreat on the Gulf of Naples
Perched above the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius as its silent guardian and the islands of Capri and Ischia shimmering offshore, the La Medusa Grand Hotel invites you into an experience where heritage, elegance and natural beauty converge.
Set in the charming town of Castellammare di Stabia (just 20 minutes from Naples), this former Bourbon villa from the late 19th century unfolds across lush gardens, citrus groves, and panoramic terraces—an ideal base for exploring both the coast and the countryside of Campania.
Arrival & Landscape
Driving up through pine-claad hills, the first glimpse of the villa is like stepping into a postcard: classical architecture, white-washed walls, tall windows open to sea view. Inside, the lobby carries the weight of history yet feels light with sunlight—a feeling of arrival and pause. From your terrace, the Gulf stretches out, boats gliding, Vesuvius’s shape etched against sky, and you understand that here the scenery is part of your suite.
Rooms & Suites: Comfort with Character
La Medusa offers 49 rooms and suites, each styled to reflect the building’s heritage while embracing modern comfort. Park-facing deluxe rooms offer quiet views of the gardens; sea-view suites extend the experience with private sun-lounges, hydromassage baths and vistas that stretch across water and sky. Bathrooms adorned with hand-painted Vietri ceramics, walls softened by warm woods and natural textures—everything echoes the region’s craftsmanship.
Gardens, Wellness & Quiet Indulgence
The hotel’s 15,000 m² park is a restful domain of orange and lemon trees, shaded pathways and secluded lounges—perfect for long afternoons with a book or sunset views with a drink in hand.
The Eden Wellness Centre, located within this green oasis, offers treatments steeped in local tradition: thermal rituals, poolside relaxation, bespoke spa programmes suited for body and mind. When you stay here, staying in is as tempting as going out.
Cuisine & Sense of Place
At the rooftop terrace or the panoramic restaurant, you’ll experience Mediterranean cuisine grounded in local produce—seafood from the bay, citrus from the gardens, wines from nearby vineyards. Each meal becomes more than food—it becomes a moment in the region.
Why This Hotel Stands Out
- Unmatched views: The gulf, the islands, Vesuvius—framed by garden and architecture. 
- Heritage meets design: Classic villa ambience with contemporary comfort. 
- Tranquil base with access: Removed enough for serenity, close enough for adventure. 
- Service & atmosphere: Guests frequently highlight the attention to detail and welcoming feel.
