Villa Campolieto is one of the Vesuvian villas at Ercolano, built for aristocratic life along the Bay of Naples. Its architecture, arcaded forms, and relationship to the coast add an 18th-century layer to a town better known for the ancient Roman site.
It makes a good companion to Herculaneum for travellers interested in architecture across periods. Check current opening arrangements before going, since access to historic villas can be more limited than the archaeological park.
