Hotels close to Naples in Italy

Hotel Santa Marta, Pozzuoli

This Italian hotel lies just west of Naples, in the historically and archaeologically fascinating town of Pozzuoli. The Hotel Santa Marta sits at the gateway of the Campi Flegri or 'fiery fields', the extraordinary volcanic area immortalised by Homer and Virgil respectively as the Elysian Fields (for their beauty) and the 'gate to Hades' (for the fire and smell of sulphur emanating from the 'fumaroles' that vent the hot air from below foot. As well as being an absolutely unforgettable volcanic landscape, Pozzuoli has ferries to the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, and to the delightful Amalfi Coast. It is also just 20 minutes out of Naples by public transport. This hotel in Italy then could be the base for several vacations in one.

Comfort is everything here. There are single, double and twin rooms. All have air conditioning, direct modem link, cable/satellite television, minibar, and there are non-smoking rooms on request. The Hotel Santa Marta (its name recalls an ancient 'xenodochius' or pilgrims' house, which was destroyed by the eruption of Monte Nuovo in 1538) has three restaurants. Two are inside, one on the terrace, and you'll enjoy a splendid mixture of local and Italian dishes. One kilometre away is a health suite offering spa facilities, massages, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, beauty treatments, a swimming pool and a fully equipped gym (also an equestrian centre). This Naples hotel has free car parking, cots/cribs for the younger children, and there is a lounge bar and café.

Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club are all welcome at this Italian hotel.
