Hotel Solcalante

This is a small, family run hotel. The island of Procida is very small and quaint - the hotel matches this style. Rooms are very clean and spacious. They are fairly basic and in a traditional homely style. Ideal for our short break. The garden area is lovely and our room had a great patio area, very relaxing to have a drink in the evening. We ate here one evening - you have to pre-order dinner. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. This area of the island is very quiet, there is restaurant about five minutes walk away (Ristorante La Pergola) which was very good. There are other restaurants and shops about 15 min walk away. The port is about 20 - 25 min walk away or a short cab ride. Beware of the cabs though - we made the rookie error of taking a cab without asking price, got fleeced 20 Euro. There is a local bus service which is very popular. You can walk around the entire island in a day. The breakfast is reasonable - would have liked a bit more choice, but as there are a small number of guests this is to be expected. It would be nice if coffee was offered on arriving, but staff will make coffee if you ask them. Staff are very friendly and helpful. This is the ideal place to stay when visiting the island.

Charming, rustic hotel in keeping with the island itself. Very clean, fresh towels and beds made daily. We loved our room and terrace area in the garden. Pool cleaned daily but not very warm at this time of year. Nice fresh breakfast. A couple of things to note: we left our key intentionally one day and couldn’t get back in on our return at 8.30pm. An emergency contact number had been left on reception (inside the building) but not on the door. Fortunately another resident let us in. So take your key with you! We visited first week in Oct, apparently this is midge season, beware as your room is surrounded by a lovely garden and we found it difficult to venture out come evening time without being eaten alive! Island advise- explore a little by foot if possible, the islands public buses are great but in actual fact you may find that you could have walked it in less time than the bus takes! There’s a delightful rustic little deli /cafe a few hundred yards left of the hotel (past the church) highly recommend.
