Hotel Terme Capasso

While the entrance to this property is nothing spectacular, inside the hotel is bright, contemporary, and welcoming. The main reception area features white couches and bold chandeliers, with a massive, dark reception desk dominating the space. After checking in, guests continue into the lobby itself, which is decorated in rich colors and dark wood, with plenty of windows and neutral-colored walls. An elegant lobby bar sits against one wall, with plenty of seating. Doors lead out to the pool area and the garden, and elevators whisk guests to their rooms and the spa area.

Located on natural hot springs several miles from the Amalfi Coast, this hotel is in a quiet, fairly remote area, giving it a sense of peace and tranquility. Greenery and hills surround the area, but it’s still close enough to the main road to be within easy reach of a number of restaurants, shops, and attractions. A car is necessary to get around, as there isn’t much within walking distance besides hiking and nature trails. Such popular nearby areas as Contursi Terme, Paestum, Velia, and Pompeii are all within a 20- to 30-minute drive.

Decorated in warm neutrals with rich, dark woods, all the rooms are modern, and spacious, with large bathrooms and terraces or patios overlooking the thermal spas and the nearby Sele River. They all include air-conditioning, minibars, in-room safes, and free Wi-Fi. Guests can choose between the good-size Standard Rooms or the larger, more spacious Superior Rooms, which offer bigger seating areas and additional television channels. Room rates also include a free daily breakfast served on the outdoor patio, and laundry and ironing services are also available.

The hotel is built around the natural hot springs, making the spa and various treatments the stand-out features on the property. In addition to the thermal pools, sauna, fitness center, and standard spa treatments such as massages and facials, the Hotel Terme Capasso also offers more advanced health and wellness treatments to target specific ailments. The large outdoor pool and patio are open 24-hours to guests, though the spa and pool are open to the public during the day. An on-site restaurant serves free breakfast as well as classic Mediterranean fare, and bars in the lobby and by the pool provide snacks and cocktails. A meeting and events space is available, and the front desk can arrange transportation. Parking is free, and Wi-Fi is free in both the public areas and guest rooms.
