Grand Hotel La Medusa

Location. The Grand Hotel La Medusa is located in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy, eight kilometres from Pompeii, and one kilometre from Castellammare town centre. The Circumvesuviana train stops at the Castellammare Nocera station, 500 metres from the hotel.

Hotel Features. Hand-painted tile floors and damask drapes are found throughout the hotel and typify its late 19th century Italianate decor. Guests can stroll through the surrounding park under palm and citrus trees, or rest by the swimming pool on rattan sunloungers.

Grand Hotel La Medusa offers indoor and outdoor dining at the restaurant Il Gazebo e Le Terrazze, which provides a complimentary breakfast each morning. Refreshments are served at the poolside patio where rattan chairs and sofas are shaded by an undulating awning. The lounge bar offers coffees, teas, and cocktails.

The surrounding archaeological sites can be reached by the Circumvesuviana train, or the concierge can make arrangements for guided tours.

Guestrooms. The 49 guestrooms are spread over three floors, and the 19th century decor is echoed throughout with jacquard bedsteads, damask drapes, and the ever-present white and pastel hand-painted tile floors. Each morning, guests receive complimentary newspapers delivered to their rooms, and turndown service is offered in the evening. Amenities include direct-dial phones, satellite television, and Internet access. Bathrooms have complimentary toiletries, slippers, and hair dryers.
