Scene
Luxury hotel popular with honeymooners
Villa Marina Hotel & Spa is popular with newlyweds for its beautiful atmosphere and romantic sea views. Hammocks tied between palm trees and chairs sitting under vine-covered pergolas offer lovely places to relax and enjoy the scenery. Manicured hedges and low stone walls add appeal to the grounds as well, and sea views are available from a variety of locations including the pool area and the outdoor dining area, a rustic space with a thatch ceiling and tropical fans. Indoor areas at the hotel are sleek and modern in comparison, including the indoor dining room with sweeping gray curtains and black-and-white photographs of beach scenes, or the lobby bar with chunky mirrored coffee tables, loveseats with clashing teal and brown patterns, and a marble chess set.
Location
Hilltop location within short walk to port and beach
Villa Marina Hotel & Spa has a hilltop location within a 10-minute walk to the beach and the port where ferries connect to Naples and Sorrento. The hotel also offers a free shuttle to the port or Piazzetta, a five-minute drive, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. The Piazzetta can also be reached on foot by a 17-minute walk, but many guests find the location a bit too far from the center of town. Staff can arrange airport transfers to the tune of a few hundred dollars.
