Among these, the CastleView Deluxe Suites, overlookin­g the castle of Sant'Elmo and the Harbour View Grand Suites, overlookin­g the Bay of Naples, as well as the Two Bedroom Suite with Zen garden and outdoor whirlpool, and the PenthouseS­uite, with private mini spa. For all other guests, there is the Doganadel

Sale Luxury Spa, with 6 treatment cabins, sauna, hammam, salt room, Kneipp path, frigidariu­m and whirlpool.
