Hotel & Resort Capo La Gala

Vico Equense - Vico Equense - Amalfi, Capri & Sorrento

Seaside

Number of rooms: 18

Some simple facts about the Hotel Capo La Gala stand out above all others: The location (tucked underneath terraces of olives and lemons in its own little sheltered headland) and the views (some of the finest anywhere on the Sorrento or Amalfi coasts.)

The hotel does exclusive in a relaxed manner, settled into the fruit terraces where it was built in the 1950s creating a luxurious refuge that hugs the terrain and seems to be part of it. An organic architecture that means each room as well as the bar and restaurant benefit from those stunning views across the Bay of Naples, a horizon of azure waters with Capri, Ischia and Procida entering the scene.

The atmosphere is calm and select; the little cape where the hotel is positioned hides the villages along the coast leaving this little corner of paradise just for you. A restoration in 2006 brought one of the best known designers to add bold and modern features to the hotel whilst never detracting from the fact that the main players here are those stunning views backed up by the colours of the water, the olive trees, the lemons…

The Hotel Capo La Gala is close to the towns of Sorrento (6 miles/9km) and Vico Equense (1 mile/2km) as well as Pompei (30 minutes by car or the local Circumvesuviana train) and Positano (45 minutes) so all of these places are easy to reach. The thing that we loved about the Capo La Gala, however, is its sense of exclusivity, that though close to culture and great little towns, its position on the olive terraces in the shelter of the little cape or headland from where it takes its name means that you really do feel as though you’re miles and days away from the rest of civilization. All you need to care about is the peace and quiet and the fact that the restaurant is extremely well-known in the area for cooking excellent dishes of fresh, local seafood and typical Neopolitan pastas.

An unusual and utterly charming little place.

ll	Activities

As we said Pompei is close as is Herculaneum, another very important archeological site. Naples has plenty more in the way of culture including a number of Caravaggios and outstanding architecture from its heyday in the eighteenth century. The National Archeological Museum there has all of the best bits of sculpture, frescoes and other objects taken from Pompei for safe-keeping.

The isle of Capri is a 25 minute ride from nearby Sorrento and the other islands of Ischia and Procida are well worth visiting. Boats also leave Sorrento for Naples, Amalfi and Positano if you prefer the idea of arriving by sea rather than the challenging Amalfi Drive.

ll	Tips & Getting There

The closest airport is Capodichino, approximately 27 miles (40km) used by all of the major airlines as well as low cost carriers such as Easyjet.

If driving, whether from Rome or from Naples Capodichino airport, take the A3/E45 motorway south towards Salerno for 18km. Leave the motorway at the exit for Castellamare di Stabia in the direction of Sorrento. Continue on this road, the SS145, for approximately 13km. After a short tunnel, 1.5km from Vico Equense, the entrance to the hotel is indicated on the right-hand side.
