The hype
Travelers love the location and the friendly staff (Maria and Chiara), but often get confused by the check-in process.
Carten
$150-250/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a massive in-room jacuzzi and a ferry-ready location, and don't mind skipping the traditional hotel lobby.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- Huge in-room spa baths (jacuzzis) in most suites
- 3-minute walk to Molo Beverello for ferries to Capri/Ischia
- Breakfast delivered directly to your room every morning
Privire rapidă: A quirky, jacuzzi-obsessed guest house that nails the romantic spa vibe but fumbles the arrival logistics.
Evaluat de @insta_melania_mykonos: I was blown away by this suite at Carten! Walking in and seeing that massive glass jacuzzi right in the middle of the room was a total game-changer. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic Naples getaway—modern, sexy, and incredibly spacious. 10/10 would stay again.

Is there a 24-hour front desk?
No. Reception hours are limited (usually 9am-8pm). Late arrivals must be arranged in advance.
How do I get the keys?
You typically meet a staff member at the entrance or a nearby spot (sometimes the gelato shop next door) after coordinating via WhatsApp.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, it is served directly to your room. You select your options the night before.
Is there an elevator?

Sfaturi de Insider
- ✨
Ask for the 'sfogliatella' with your breakfast order – they often source them from a good local bakery.
- ✨
If you arrive early, you can store bags, but you have to catch the staff when they are on-site.
- ✨
The entrance is easy to miss; look for the small plaque on the wall at number 24.
5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The 'Castle View' often involves looking sideways from a small balcony.
💡The shower and the bedroom are sometimes in the same open space (glass walls), so privacy is limited.
💡You might have to pick up your keys from a staff member waiting at a nearby cafe if you arrive at an odd hour.
💡The 'Depandance' rooms are basically separate apartments with zero hotel services after check-in.
💡The in-room jacuzzis can take a long time to fill – start running it early.
