Fodor's Expert Review Il Transatlantico Napoli

Enjoying perhaps the most enchanting setting in all of Naples, this modestly priced hotel tops many travelers' dream list of places to stay. In one of the buildings of the toy-size Borgo Marinari harbor, directly within the shadow of the Castel dell'Ovo medieval fortress, Il Transatlantico has guest rooms fitted out in faux-yacht style: all blue and white, with swab-the-decks wood trim. You can compare them to the view of the vistas over the harbor, the Lungomare, and the grand panorama of Vesuvius at the end of the bay—a view that even folks paying $2,000 can't enjoy at the luxury hotels just across the pier on the mainland.
