Casa Sul Mare

Procida


A crisp, white-washed place with the kind of evocative views that helped make The Talented Mr Ripley such a memorable film (parts were filmed in Procida). Overlooking the pastel-hued fishing village of Marina Corricella, near the ruined Castello d'Avalos, its rooms are simple yet elegant, with fetching tiled floors, wrought-iron bedsteads and the odd piece of antique furniture.

The hotel treats its guests well: during summer there’s a boat service to the nearby Spiaggia della Chiaia (Chiaia Beach), and the morning cappuccino, courtesy of Franco, may be the best you'll find outside Turin.
