Cocumella
$$$$, Sant'Agnello
Fodor's Review:
Cognoscenti adore this hotel, one of the most aristocratic in Italy. With a guest list littered with names like Goethe and the Duke of Wellington, set in a cliff-top garden overlooking the Bay of Naples, the Cocumella occupies a Baroque monastery, complete with frescoed ceilings, antique reliquaries, and a marble cloister. The lobby is Italian-Victorian, and 19th-century grace notes continue in grand suites that offer stone fireplaces, Empire-style bureaus, and marble-clad bathrooms; even smaller rooms have great charm. The del Papa family has gilded this lily with a vast pool, a beauty-spa and exercise room, one of the most cornucopic breakfasts around, the superb Scintilla restaurant, a 90-foot-long 19th-century yacht for daily excursions on the bay, and even summer-night chamber-music recitals in the monastery's former church. Ah, the sweet life!
