Discover the wonders of the surroundings of Villa Oteri
Villa Oteri is located in the heart of the Phlegraean Fields, a land rich in history, myths and legends.

Aragonese Castle of Baia and Archaeological Museum
Just minutes from Villa Oteri stands the majestic Aragonese Castle of Baia, a 15th-century fortress that dominates the gulf from above. Inside is the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegraean Fields, which houses precious artifacts from Baia's ancient sunken Roman villas. Here you can admire statues, frescoes and mosaics that tell the story of the luxurious life of the Roman aristocracy.
The Casina Vanvitelliana, a Jewel on the Water
Located on Lake Fusaro, the Casina Vanvitelliana is one of the area's most striking attractions. Built in the 18th century by architect Luigi Vanvitelli for the Bourbon royal family, this elegant residence with harmonious forms seems to be suspended over the water. Today it can be visited and is often the site of cultural events and exhibitions.
The Roman Baths of Baia, an Ancient Oasis of Wellness
The Roman Baths of Baia were once a luxurious spa complex frequented by the elite of ancient Rome. Due to volcanic activity in the area, Baia became famous for its natural hot waters and impressive spa facilities. Even today, it is still possible to visit the remains of sumptuous thermal rooms and admire the extraordinary Roman engineering.
The Acropolis of Cumae, the City of the Sibyl
A few kilometers from Bacoli lies the ancient Acropolis of Cuma, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in Campania. Here you can explore the remains of the first Greek colony in the West and visit the enigmatic Antro della Sibilla, the cave where, according to legend, the priestess of Apollo pronounced her mysterious oracles.
Piscina Mirabilis, the Roman Monumental Cistern
Another extraordinary testament to Roman engineering is the Piscina Mirabilis, an imposing water cistern built to supply the imperial fleet anchored at Misenum. This rock-cut underground cathedral is now a fascinating site, with tall columns and plays of light that make it a magical place to explore.
Submerged Park of Baia
Discover the Baia Underwater Park, a fascinating underwater city just 5 meters below sea level, often called the "Roman Atlantis." Located in the Gulf of Naples, this archaeological wonder holds the remains of ancient villas, mosaics and roads dating back to the time of the Roman Empire, today visible only through diving or transparent-bottom boat tours. A unique journey through time, between history and nature, in the crystal clear waters of the Campi Flegrei Archaeological Park.
Naples
Naples is a city of irresistible charm, a vibrant mix of history, culture and traditions. From the narrow streets of the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its centuries-old churches and palaces, to majestic squares such as Piazza del Plebiscito and the waterfront of Via Caracciolo, the city enchants visitors with its unique energy. Highlights include the National Archaeological Museum, guardian of priceless treasures, the mysterious Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel, and the underground passages of Naples, which tell centuries of history hidden beneath its streets.
Cape Miseno, Between Nature and Breathtaking Views
The promontory of Capo Miseno is a natural wonder that offers spectacular views of the Gulf of Naples.

The sunset from Capo Miseno is a sight not to be missed, with the sun dipping into the sea coloring the sky with golden hues.
Miliscola Beach and the View of the Islands
A short walk from Villa Oteri is the long beach of Miliscola, a sandy shoreline perfect for those who wish to relax in the sun or take a stroll along the shoreline. From here there is an enchanting view of the three islands of the Gulf of Naples-Ischia, Procida and Capri-which emerge from the horizon like pearls in the blue sea.
The Sorrento Coast
The Sorrento Coast is a stretch of coastline that offers spectacular scenery and a typically Mediterranean atmosphere. Sorrento, with its alleys full of craft stores and panoramic terraces overlooking the sea, is the beating heart of the area. From here you can explore characteristic villages such as Massa Lubrense and Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi, enjoying typical products such as the famous limoncello. The perfect combination of sea, nature and culture makes the Sorrento Coast a must-see destination.
The Amalfi Coast
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy's most fascinating destinations, with its scenic streets overhanging the sea and picturesque villages. Amalfi, with its Arab-Norman-style cathedral; Positano, with its pastel-colored houses cascading over the cliffs; and Ravello, famous for its villas and dreamy views, are just some of the gems of this stretch of coastline.
