The hotel’s dining scene is designed around those Gulf of Naples views.

Pulcinella Restaurant combines buffet and à la carte service across breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a focus on Italian and Spanish flavours — think fresh seafood, seasonal pasta, Neapolitan desserts and a solid local wine list.

For drinks, there’s a choice of stylish bars:

– Elements Cocktail Bar – an elegant spot for aperitivo, classic cocktails and premium spirits (usually open 18:00–01:00).
– Lounge Bar / Lobby Bar – ideal for coffee, soft drinks or a nightcap (typically open 09:00–22:30).

A smart-casual dress code may apply in the evening. Some venues, opening hours and inclusions are seasonal and can vary by board arrangement; reservations and supplements may be required.

Staying on Bed and Breakfast gives you freedom to graze your way through Naples’ pizzerias and trattorie, while returning to the hotel for relaxed drinks with a view. What All Inclusive typically includes.

There may not be a beach right in front of the hotel, but the rooftop saltwater pool more than makes up for it.

– Outdoor saltwater pool on the roof terrace
– Sunbathing area with loungers and parasols
– Sweeping views across the bay towards Vesuvius and Castel dell’Ovo

The pool is typically open between 1 June and 30 September, weather and occupancy permitting. To keep things relaxed and avoid overcrowding, access is managed by a booking system: you reserve a pool slot of up to two consecutive hours per day at check-in, subject to availability. Facilities may vary by season and are weather dependent.

For a dip in the sea, head to the city’s small lidos or use the hotel as a base for day trips to nearby coastal towns and islands.

Beyond that, facilities are geared towards a smooth city break experience:

– 24-hour reception and concierge service
– Luggage storage area
– Access to English-language newspapers (subject to availability)
