Hotel Santa Lucia

If you prefer to stay at smaller, more authentic hotels when you’re on holiday, you’ll hit the jackpot with the Hotel Santa Lucia. It’s a traditional family-run property where you’ll be welcomed with friendly Italian hospitality and plenty of good food.

The hotel’s just a stone’s throw from Minori Beach, where you can paddle in the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The small seafront town of Minori has plenty more to offer, too – it was a popular summer holiday spot for the upper class during the Ancient Roman times. While you’re there, be sure to visit the impressive Villa Marittima Romana, and the town’s collection of excellent restaurants and gelaterias.
