Came here for the beach. It's a nice property and the "beach" access is very expensive 20€ a person…read moreand they don't accept credit cards. Like most beaches in Naples, this is not really a beach but rather a set of rock formations from which you can jump into the water. The water is wonderful as are the views. The people are super friendly. Make sure to only use the ladder to get back on from the water (jumping in is no issue), because I got cut on the rocks trying to climb out of the water without using the ladder.

We toured Italy over 2 weeks and stayed in 5 different hotels - this was the last one and my…read morefavorite. Lots of history here and throughout the neighborhood. We arrived early and we knew our room would not be ready; we had already planned to explore the area while waiting for our room. They were attentive with holding our luggage and Roberta gave us a map and explained in great detail many options to explore in the area. Close to shops, restaurants, museums, and much to explore. Napoli is very characteristic. Narrow roads, historic buildings, many scooters coming out of nowhere... It was a great adventure for us. Hotel is well maintained throughout. Rooms were great. Breakfast in a beautiful courtyard. Room service was fast and efficient. Bar was attentive with a very nice lounge. Ambiance inside the hotel was pleasant throughout. I would love to visit again.

I had the pleasure of staying here in the summer and it's beautiful! As you can tell from the name,…read morePalazzo Caracciolo is a converted palace and has a stately and lovely inner courtyard. You can almost see horse-drawn carriages pulling up. The hotel has preserved the royal feel of the architecture while giving the inside a completely modern style. There is free internet on a computer on the main floor in a study across the corridor from the lobby, and the main courtyard is next to an indoor modern lounge with a bar for when it's just too hot to sit outside. The rooms are nice, and I really enjoyed just lounging around all the pretty areas near the courtyard, or looking out my window before bed at the courtyard view. The morning breakfast was good and served in the beautiful inner courtyard. As always in Italy, coffee is delicious and the baked goods were a sinful way to wake up. The reception staff was very helpful and polite and so so nice anytime I asked them for anything. They gave me a good map and advice for the best way to get to the best pizza in town:) Location wise, it's about a 12-15 minute walk from the Termini, and with very heavy baggage and tiny, bustling streets full of people and traffic, it can be a little taxing to walk up there in the blistering heat. You could take a taxi if you wanted, but if you have time and a map of the tiny streets, it's not far at all. It's also an easy 10 min walk to some of Napoli's famous pizzerias, including the one from Eat, Pray, Love, called Da Michele. Beware, it is a crazy walk through tiny streets filled with people intent on walking very slowly while they talk very loudly, and scooters coming out of nowhere from round the corner, or buckets being lowered from high windows to people ambling by. Haha but that's Napoli and if you brave it you, you will get to eat delicious pizza (or go wherever it is you're going). While I stayed, they did host a wedding in the courtyard, and because of the wedding there were some disgruntled guests who couldn't get a drink at the bar because there was no barman for for than half an hour. An enterprising American tourist went and got her own just as the barman got back haha and told him not to bother himself in a very efficient way as old ladies do.

Wonderful experience. Dined as a party of three; I had the bruschetta, salt cod, and limoncello…read moregelato. The bruschetta (cherry tomato & basil) was about as good as I've ever had, with the olive oil taking main stage. The salt cod was expertly prepared: not a hint of salt, perfectly cooked, however, be warned that it is served cold (this threw me for a loop, but I don't hold it against the restaurant that I was unaware of the dish's preparation). The gelato was handmade, a sugar crust surrounding creamy gelato with a lemon curd center. Beyond five stars - the owners chatted with our party's one fluent speaker and went way above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay in Naples.
