For Old World Charm

Grand Hotel Ambasciatori

  • Aglow in romance and period charm, the Grand Hotel Ambasciatori perches on a clifftop facing the Gulf of Naples. A stately property fit for a prince, with cool marbled floors, high ceilings, and grandiose antique furniture in plush and elegant rooms, it’s a perfect nest for couples seeking luxury and splendour. Two restaurants, a pool and its own private beach, not to mention the enchanting views at sunset, and opportunities for romantic, moonlit strolls on the cobblestone clifftop walkway; it’s a terrific find.
  • Villa Manning Relais looks a lot like the home of an admiral. This small and intimate hotel, housed in a 19th century villa, radiates an old world charm of marble floors, period furniture and elegant rooms coloured in blues and whites. The pool lies in the leafy garden, promising seclusion and intimacy for couples and individuals alike.
  • From the outside, Grand Hotel Cocumella looks like a Renaissance palace, emanating classical splendour: opulent, light-filled, ornate rooms with plush beds, antiques and oil paintings, the suites boast ancient four-posters. The restaurant is divine and the swimming pool is magnificent. Perfect for couples.

For a Spa Break

Laqua terrace pool

  • When you wake up in Laqua, you can walk onto the wood-lined terrace and take a dip in your private plunge pool; while you relax, you’ll come face-to-face with the aquamarine sea, framed by the clifftops. It’s a mesmerising experience. A wellness hotel with a glorious spa, the six minimalist rooms are shaded in muted oak and creamwhite colours. Pricey, but well worth the unique experience! Ideal for couples looking for a spa holiday.

Chic boutique

Maison la Minervetta

  • An effortlessly chic clifftop boutique staring out to sea, Maison la Minervetta is the ultimate couples' getaway. The rooms are alive with splashes of scarlets, ocean blues and cloud-whites, chequered tile flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows promising stunning views of a seemingly infinite sea, it’s the definition of romance. Plus there's a small pool with more of that view.

For families

Anna Belle Elegant Resort

  • The clue is in the name – the Anna Belle Elegant Resort clearly didn't want to leave anything to chance. The rooms are coloured like the summer sea and sky, in white, pale blue and aquamarine, adorned in a classical, refined and plush design. The good sized pool is set in a garden of trees, with spellbinding views of the Gulf of Naples. Great for families.
  • Families will love Hotel Mediterraneo, a fantastic cliffside hotel facing the sea with spacious rooms decorated in a classical style, in blues and whites, with cool tiled floors. The mezzanine rooms hold up to 5 people - perfect for parents with children. The restaurant terrace glows gold in the light of evening sun; plus there’s a private beach, and a large swimming pool.

For unadulterated luxury

Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

  • Quintessential 5 star luxury, the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is like time travelling to the Belle Epoque. Its Michelin-star restaurant spills out onto a terrace over the Bay of Naples, and the rooms are done in daffodil yellow and creamwhite tones, furnished with period furniture, and walls adorned with oil paintings. The indoor restaurant has high, vaulted, frescoed ceilings and the large secluded pool is surrounded by trees. Promising intimacy, romance and luxury.
  • It’s easy to see why the Bellevue Syrene was once a haven for artists. Its romantic clifftop setting, vaulted ceilings, Roman-style frescos, marble floors, Italianate chandeliers, beauty parlour and wine cellars, make it perfect for a wedding or a honeymoon. With indoor and outdoor pools and a suite with its own private indoor pool. This is a rare, luxury gem – a hotel that’s out-of-this-world.
