I had a Campari spritz with there bruschetta apps. I need to come back here just for the mouth watering mozzarella. Oh and Valentina is the best! So helpful and made the experience 10xtimes better.

First let me tell you this place is NOT a resort in anyway, so don't expect it. Secondly they do get high marks for converting a convent to a hotel. However, the negatives outweigh the positives. First the rooms are as small as the rooms in most Paris hotels. The toilet is so small you can go to the toilet, take a shower and brush your teeth at the same time. We were the only ones there last week. The staff suggested that its better for them to deliver our breakfast each morning instead of setting up the breakfast room just for us. We agree. Well low and behold when we checked out they charged us 20Euros for room service. We argued with the owner on checkout and he finally caved in and gave us the 20Euro credit. We then wanted to have dinner at the hotel. We were the only ones there. On checkout they ripped us off for 52Euros for one plate of pasta and a salad. Had I known this I would have driven to town! I goofed and should have asked the price before! JP Morgan said "If you have to ask the price you can't afford it". I am amending this quote and stating if you don't ask the price you are a fool! The owner should not be in this business. He "pissed" us off royally! I can only imagine how he treats other guests. Would not stay here again or recommend. Too many other place where they don't abuse you!

This was the last stop for our Pompeii tour group, and something we didn't remember was included,…read morehonestly. We pulled up after a long day of speed-walking through the ruins of Pompeii, hot, sweaty and a bit dusty, to be seated at these really pretty yet somehow cramped tables. The setup was nice and the staff was friendly. They made it a point of making an announcement ahead of every bottle they poured, but we were spread out and the waters' voices didn't really carry. We were greeted with a bubbly and individual charcuterie boards, with more meats than cheeses. The main was a small serving of big tubed pasta (like rigatoni, but bigger...a *bigatoni*, if you will...ha, see what I did there? BIGatoni. Hey, where are you going) in a red sauce. The pasta was super al dente, even by Italy's standards. The sauce was zesty and a little loose. Dessert was a kind of trifle, with fresh fruit and sweet cream in a jar. Each course was paired with a wine, naturally. The wines were good and flavorful, and everyone at the table enjoyed the pairings. We were given a bit of time once the meal was finished to walk the grounds, and I can see how this property would be popular for parties, galas and weddings.

MY CAPRI, ITALY NIGHTMARE Beware of Villa Camelia, Capri…read moreItaly also known as: Villa Bismarck, Villa Camille, Villa le Camelia This is something I have never had to do before but it's a must this time. The influence of 'word of mouth' is so powerful and people must be held responsible for taking advantage of others. We recently rented what appeared to be an amazing villa in Capri, Italy named "Villa Camelia" through a luxury rental agency, Italian Style Villas (www.italianstylevillas.com). We worked directly with one of their brokers, Gianluca Ziveri, and unfortunately the villa was NOT at all what was sold to us and certainly not what the pictures described. After enjoying the villa's beautiful outdoor areas overlooking Capri and not going into the house until we were ready to unpack and go to bed, this is what we encountered: filthy mattresses, disgusting dirty linens, worn out pillows, leaky plumbing in one of the bathrooms, a staff that was making excuses for its unsanitary conditions and on top of that electrical issues that could be a fire hazard with smells of burning wires! There was even aluminum foil wrapped around the bulb sockets in the supposedly grand chandelier and light bulbs all over the house. We had no choice but to leave and had no other place to go after arriving in Capri, and everything was sold out. And though our rental contract clearly states that we would receive a full refund if the property was not in the condition it was advertised or if we weren't happy with it, of course, no one wants to give us our money back!! They actually fought us rather than help us find a new place to stay. I have to share and let people know. Do not book thru these people and do not book this house. The owner and everyone have refused to give our money back. Any rental agency that advertises this villa either doesn't know how bad this property is or clearly doesn't care because full payment is required in advance and you are out of luck when you aren't happy with it. This villa is advertised on the following sites: www.italianstylevillas.com www.luxuryretreats.com www.Myprivatevillas.com www.yourprivateitaly.com. All these websites who sell this villa should remove it from their sites.

Unfortunately, he didn't understand English very well and when we asked for help to exit the hotel, he said no and hung up on me.

Finally, I was able to get in touch with the hotel next door to come and let us out.

Belle Arti Resort is…read moresituated in downtown Naples, a few blocks away from the hip Piazza Bellini, and a few more blocks away from the central Piazza Garibaldi. A few more blocks and you're on the waterfront. It is moments away from the archeological museum, a hot spot for many tourists. My parents, EC and I had a wonderful time at this hotel. Naples was our last stop in Itay, and we were in need of a great place to rest our feet and relax. Marco was very responsive over email, organizing a taxi for us from the train station (30 euro total for all four of us, a steal compared to some of the higher tourist cities). We were provided with maps of the city and an explanation of the general layout of Naples. It's all in the details: -Very clean. -Modern decor: lots of artsy statues, photos, and design. -My parents were able to hand in some laundry and had it back early the next day. -One star away from five mainly because when I asked for suggestions on organizing a trip to Pompei, I felt that we were sold the Belle Arti recommendation of pricey car and tour guide, despite my asking for how Napolitans would organize a trip on a budget (and I was speaking in Italian, so it wasn't a lost-in-translation issue). -A safe was available in the rooms for safe keeping. -Binder with suggestions of things to do and advice on being a tourist in Naples - very American-hotel-ish, and great to have. -Wifi and computer available in the lobby. -Breakfast available, but through a tricky menu system of add-ons. -The staff preparing breakfast does so in a hallway room, and with the marble floors it becomes very loud for those rooms nearby - we were woken up a few times by the noise. Belle Arti was a great place for us to stay. It can be difficult to find hotel options in Naples, and this is a great one!

Temperature indicated 29 deg C. Contacted front desk and they said they control the temperature and would set it to 22 deg C. Room temperature did not go down. Repeated calls/visits to front desk produced no results, each time they responded "how low do you want it?" Each time we requested 22 deg C or lower and they said "OK". Each time nothing changed. The weather was warm, but at night it would drop to 23 deg C or so. Even during the day, ithe outdoor temp would not reach 29 deg C, so the room was warmer than the temp outdoors. The hotel hallways were comfortably cool, as well as most of the rooms of the rest of our group. We were only there three nights, but that was very long when you cannot sleep. Requested another room and was told they were all full, however the next morning I heard that another member of our group was moving to a different room (her shower was missing a door). All we received was lip service and basically lies. The next customer will have to go through this frustrating process too, starting the cycle over. Since the area is somewhat remote, and most/all rooms booked weeks/months in advance, they know that you probably can't find another place to stay, so it essentially means you are a captive of their situation. I would recommend getting a signed contract if you plan on having your group stay at Punta Campanella Resort & Spa, or go elsewhere.​
