This is a lovely hotel, extremely posh - Napoli soccer team train in the grounds so fans hang about in the car park, kept at bay by security guards. I don't know how many stars this place has but it must be at least 4. The bedroom is massive, which is just as well as we're sharing it. Even the bathroom is the size of some hotel rooms I've stayed in back in the UK... all tiled (even the floor) and very palatial. Balcony overlooking 2 of the 3 (yes 3... two at the back and one in the front!) swimming pools!
Here's the side of the hotel our room is on...
Here's the view from the balcony, looking over two of the swimming pools (these are at the back and there's one bigger deeper one at the front):-
Here's the view looking the other way from the balcony, out to sea. There is a little archipelago of islands just off the coast and we can see two of them, just in the background of this picture:-
We don't have that view today as it's raining and the islands have completely disappeared into the mist, so we are having another chillout day today before we head to the little town of Viterbo tomorrow.
We went to the small town of Pinintamare which is just across the river from the hotel. It's nicknamed Beirut as it looks a bit like a bombsite in places, but does have a good supermarket and shopping centre that we spent the morning in. You can see where it gets its nickname from below:-
Interesting choice of TV channels here. We saw a most bizarre Italian cookery show this morning, which incorporated their version of Ready Steady Cook and then the audience would suddenly start to dance on the spot! We also have a German TV channel - their cookery shows are rather more stern and they clap a lot. Then there's the Pentagon Channel from America, which appears to be strictly for American service personnel overseas - good if you like your presenters in uniform! Ever seen Bugs Bunny in Italian? It's a bit surreal!
