Miliscola beach
10 minThe best-loved beach around: dark volcanic sand in a long arc that ends against the Capo Miseno headland. Beach clubs and free stretches both. Come early — parking is the hard part.
An independent little house on Via Petrara 31, in the ancient village of Cappella, between Bacoli and Monte di Procida, on the last stretch of the Phlegraean peninsula west of Naples. Within ten minutes: a harbour, three beaches, the pizza people here have always eaten, and two thousand years of Roman history underfoot.
White outside, yellow in the details: the gate, the railings, the balcony. La Casetta was rebuilt from scratch and has its own private entrance — no shared stairs, no landing neighbours.
Inside there is everything you need to stay a week rather than a night: a real kitchen with a gas hob and oven, a washing machine, heating and air conditioning in the main living room, Wi-Fi that holds. Outside, a terracotta patio with a majolica table for breakfast in the shade.
We are Zack and Carmen. We live a few minutes away: if you need a lightbulb, a recommendation or a table booked, one message is enough.
We are also available with top 5-star ratings across all major booking channels:








Beach towels on request — just ask and you'll find them in the house. Bathroom towels stay in the bathroom.
The sun sets exactly in the channel between Procida and Ischia.
Eight minutes away is the Belvedere Stupor Mundi, with Miliscola bay closing onto Capo Miseno, the islands to the left and Vesuvius behind. It costs nothing and needs no booking.

A sheltered inlet and the place for an evening walk: a coffee, an ice cream, the moored boats and Procida an arm's length away. In summer the fast island connections leave from here.
The largest Roman cistern ever built: forty-eight pillars carved into the tuff, fifteen metres high, an underground cathedral that served the imperial fleet at Misenum. Entry by reservation only — plan a few days ahead.
A late-fifteenth-century fortress above the bay, now the Phlegraean Fields Archaeological Museum. Just offshore, half a Roman town has sunk beneath the sea through bradyseism — visited by glass-bottom boat, snorkelling or diving. Streets, mosaics and statues, four metres down.
Marina Corricella, Terra Murata, Chiaiolella beach — the whole island is walkable in a day. Check the last crossing in the morning, not in the afternoon.
Where we eat, three ready-made day itineraries and the local dictionary are in the guest guide — and in more detail on our area guide.
