Hotel Delfino

I can’t believe this is closed…I really hope it’s for renovations or something…God. Everything about this place was magical. If not for the steps down to the crashing waves or a view so surreal of Capri that you feel like it’s yours, but the passion their kitchen had for the cuisine; I barely left the hotel for food. I spent my honeymoon here. I really hope it’s not gone, for the sake of anyone looking for an incredible, unique hotel.

Beautiful hotel, setting and views. Staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a half board stay here, the evening meals are of a very high standard to the extent we felt no need to try the a la cart restaurant. Other reviews suggest a sea view, one thing to bear in mind is these rooms get very hot during the day whereas ours with garden view at the rear was consistently pleasant even without the air conditioning on. The view from the open sided lounge is a great compromise and equates to some awesome sunset viewing. Just nearing the end of our 11 day stay here, will miss this lifestyle and Ernesto's charming and playful character at mealtimes.

August 2024 update as requested in recent reviews: Hotel Delfino has been acquired by Romeo Collection, the luxury hotel business of Romeo Group. They run 5 stars hotels in Naples and Rome, with the flagship Naples’ Romeo recently opening an Alain Ducasse restaurant. They have employed the service of a Japanese archistar to fully refurbish the Hotel which will re-open as Romeo Massa Lubrense (was due to reopen in 2024, but having missed the summer season, probably I would think it is now due in 2025). I would also guess that it will re-open as a 5 stars hotel (Hotel Delfino was a 4 stars), thus offering additional facilities and service level.
