The farmhouse here is actually situated in an evocative volcano that died out over 10,000 years ago. In this impressive scenery, time flows slowly, and you can appreciate the changing of the seasons.

The farm’s organically grown produce tempts most guests to sign on for half-board, but anyone can stop by for lunch or dinner as long as they telephone ahead. The farmhouse has airy rooms, many of which have good views down to the sea.

Amid countless paths to inaccessible beaches and the plantings of citrus trees, this farm has been run by the same family for over a century. Minimum 3-night stay.

Perfectly located for doing the old centre, this is a basic place, but very well maintained and not without a certain charm. In this price range, you can’t do better. Right across the street from the Duomo and just steps away from all the major sights of ancient Naples.

The hotel was at its peak in the 1950s. Somewhat faded, it’s still sophisticated; overlooking the sea, facilities include a pool jutting out over the beach and spa services.

Among the facilities on offer here are a tennis court, a pool, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a bar, a restaurant, a gym and a disco.

Vine-covered walkways surround the main building, and the rooms are airy and well-appointed.

Built on the ruins of a 2nd-century BC Roman villa, this beautiful establishment carries the Roman theme forward with Pompeian decor in some rooms and even a Jacuzzi that has been made to resemble a Roman bath.

A former belle époque private villa, it has been carefully converted and may have even more charm and style than it did originally.
