This hotel venue captures the volcanic landscape and Mediterranean light that define the Campania coast, offering guests an elevated vantage point across the water toward Capri and Ischia.
The property's positioning at 80 meters elevation transforms any ceremony or reception into an event framed by classical Italian seaside scenery.
Although we traval a lot, it's one of tje places you want to come back to. Amazing atmospere and food far above the perfect one. We spent few days in the end of May and ot was amazing time. Place is mostly famous of weddings but we were guests during weddong time and that does not affect you at all. Highly recommend !
