Antonio & all staff
Capri with Love
My stay at Relais Maresca Boutique Hotel was excellent in every way. It is easy to give Antonio & every staff member & the accommodation 5 stars plus.
I was greeted at the Port (Marina Grande) which is only a short distance away & my bags were dealt with. There are only a few steps up to the hotel in any case, but with 20kg it is great, as a solo traveller, to have the option.
Antonio & Patrizia were at reception to warmly greet me & I was able to check in ahead of time. Antonio provided a map of the Island & all the tips & tricks to getting around. All transportation is within easy reach, boat, taxi, bus (to Anacapri) & cable car (to Capri).
A complementary bottle of Prosecco was delivered to my room which was a lovely surprise & mixed very well with my Lemoncello from Amalfi! My room was clean, bed extremely comfortable & I enjoyed some English speaking news on Sky after 5 weeks! Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was warm & most hospitable in the truest Italian way . I ate two nights at the Terrace Restaurant & the food was excellent & the views stunning. The next day I was presented with an incredible selection for breakfast - fresh fruit, cold meats & cheeses, bread & the best for me was eggs & bacon which I had not had for 5 weeks! Bellissimo! There were juices of every description, a wide selection of beautiful home made cakes & tarts, pastries, cereals, nuts & of course, coffee in any way you desired. There was also a wide selection of tea.
After breakfast I had a 3 minute walk to join my 9:00 am small group for a tour of Blue Grotto & Capri at Dock Zero. Another amazing tour lead by professionals who love to share the magnificence of their home.
