Mergellina & Posillipo
With Liberty
palazzi
, anchored yachts and a buzzing seafront scene, Mergellina is well
connected to the city centre and handy for an early-morning hydrofoil out to the bay is-
lands.

This modest and friendly hotel sits op-
posite the Mergellina marina, a fact not played down in the decor - think portholes, baro-
meters and bedheads in the shape of ships' steering wheels. Corny? A little, but the rooms
are clean and comfy, and the few facing the sea won't cost you extra.
