Hotel Gelsomino Blu stands just off Via Camerelle, a five-minute stroll from the Piazzetta, with a quiet garden of jasmine, lemon and plumbago behind a plain blue door. It opened in 1962 as a family pensione and has been refined, never overhauled: white walls, blue-and-ochre majolica, cool stone floors and light that changes every hour.<\/p>\n
There are twenty-seven rooms and suites, most with a terrace or balcony. The larger categories look over the Faraglioni and the Bay of Naples, and the top-floor penthouse has a private plunge pool. Beds are dressed in Italian linen, bathrooms are marble, and every room has a small fridge stocked with island lemon soda.<\/p>\n
The rooftop pool and sun terrace are the social heart of the hotel, with a bar serving spritz and lemon granita and, at night, candlelit tables. Downstairs the spa has a small hammam, two treatment rooms and a heated indoor pool. The restaurant serves a short menu of fish, vegetables and Capri lemon desserts.<\/p>\n
The team handles everything: ferries and porters, boats to the Blue Grotto, a table at the right beach club, reservations for the Certosa and Villa Jovis. If you stay in late October, the hotel is quiet and the bar is yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
