Palazzo Rosenthal
We stayed at the Palazzo Rosenthal in early July and can completely recommend it. Naples and the Circumvesuviana have been hot and busy, but on the quiet slope above Leopardi we have found the hotel to be a peaceful escape, with a stunning view of the bay of Naples, Vesuvius, landscaped gardens with fruit trees, palms and old olive trees, a gentle breeze and a beautiful swimming pool. Staff have been kind, efficient and friendly, with a shuttle bus to the station (phone the hotel for a lift from Leopardi.) There’s a generous car park if driving, a roof terrace with views not to be missed and good exercise if you choose the walk to the station. The waiters were friendly and dignified, dinner was just what we needed, good choice of menu for a smaller boutique-style hotel, it’s not a resort hotel, but has just what we want and need, including a wrap around balcony with ridiculously beautiful views, excellent room and bathroom, some wildlife watching (birds etc). Fabulous value.
