We are a multigenerational family of 11 who stayed at the Hotel Continental for 5 nights in August 2024. The location is first rate in the old town ,perched atop a cliff. We recommend the rooms with a view of the bay of Naples and Mt. Vesuvius- absolutely stunning ! The buffet breakfast was wonderful, with delightful staff led by Antonio, as we sat in a gloriously big room drinking a cappuccino with a croissant ,donuts, eggs and prosciutto. The rooms were spacious and clean, with an Italian lemon theme chic decor, all about 5 minutes from the town center .The front desk staff ,led by Veronica ( who we booked with ), and Tonio, were very professional and friendly. We believe this upper mid range hotel is a great value, and love the old time glamour of jackets and tuxes of the staff. The rooftop bar is wonderful, and the pool was large, with plenty of chairs. Our favorite "pinch me " moment was descending down the elevator to Leonelli's Beach. You get off the elevator and proceed to the beach through a cave carved out of the mountain. My granddaughter asked me if we were in a James Bond movie .Lots of fun at Leonelli's Beach, although you pay for the chairs and umbrellas. We were sad to have our La Dolce Vita adventure end, but it was time to go, and so our family's magical journey continued to Rome.
