Albergo del Golfo, Naples

This Naples hotel is centrally located in the heart of the city, within easy reach of many of Naples' most famous archaeological sites. Built in the 19th century but recently restored to a high standard, the Albergo Del Golfo hotel offers comfortable, soundproofed guest rooms, each with private bathroom, air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar and direct-dial telephone.

The hotel, which is suitable for families and disabled guests, has an attractive bar area in which to relax after a hard day's sightseeing, a large roof garden with solarium, and a pleasant breakfast room. Free internet access is also available.

Staff at this hotel in Naples are friendly and helpful, and speak a variety of languages. They will be able to supply maps of the city and point you in the direction of some of Naples' most interesting attractions including the Piazza Bovio, one of the busiest shopping areas in the city, the Royal Palace on the Piazza del Plebiscito, and the Via San Gregorio Armeno, where traditional craftsmen turn out beautiful Nativity scenes. Equally easy to reach is the Molo Beverello harbour, where ferries leave for the many beautiful islands in the Bay of Naples.

You may also wish to visit other towns in Campania, including Pompeii and Herculaneum, both frozen in time when they were covered in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. These give a fascinating glimpse of what life was like in these Roman towns before the disaster, and are well worth a visit.
