Villa Mennella, 18th century neoclassical villa in Torre del Greco, Italy

Villa Mennella is an 18th-century neoclassical villa at via Nazionale 283 in Torre del Greco, part of the Vesuvian villas of the Miglio d'oro. Its piano nobile has three balconies, the central one recessed, and an attic carried by an Ionic colonnade rising from that level. The main door leads into a semicircular courtyard facing the first-floor terrace and the Italian-style garden.

The villa was built during the Bourbon period when nobles constructed numerous summer estates between Naples and Mount Vesuvius. It stands along the Miglio d'Oro, a historical road stretch marked by the concentration of aristocratic residences from this era.

Villa Mennella's interiors have vaulted ceilings painted with frescoes, a feature the source records without naming an artist or date. Since 2013 the ground-floor apartments and the semicircular courtyard have housed restaurant businesses, while the upper floors remain a private home, so the frescoed rooms are not open to visitors.

Entering through the main door leads into a semicircular courtyard; the first-floor terrace opens off it, and from there one reaches the Italian-style garden. As of 2013 the upper floors are a private home, while the courtyard and ground-floor apartments house restaurant businesses.
