Overview

"Grand Hotel du Vesuve" was constructed in 1882. The hotel was the height of luxury and elegance and immediately became an important stop for international tourists arriving in Naples. Two years after its inauguration, the hotel hosted Queen Victoria of Sweden and her personal doctor, Axel Munthe, already a writer of some repute. In 1885 Guy de Maupassant stayed at the hotel.

Location
