The Tre Caravelle is a small family run hotel situated in an Idylic Italian village that no one knows exists! I have been travelling to Palinuro with groups of friends for 5 years and have stayed in a number of Hotels. I go for the diving which is in itself a treasure of the south of Italy. Situated about 100 miles south of Naples it is a well kept secret where only Italians holiday and then only in August the rest of the summer the place is empty yet the beaches are brilliant for young and older alike and the town friendly and inviting. We have used the Tre Caravelle three times now and it just gets better each time we get there. The Hotelier Signore Nicola speaks no English but more than makes up for it with his friendly hospitality, nothing is too much. The hotel is frequented by a lot of divers as the Palinuro Sub dive centre run by Fabio and his team is situated there but is equally home to couples and families who are simply visiting Palinuro for it's beauty. The Diving is exceptional and worth trying by anyone. The Place is stunning with beautiful sunsets and an atmosphere that is second to none. The hotel has undergone a great deal of work with a new terrace that overlooks the street making it noisy but just soaks up an atmosphere that typifies Italy.

Rooms are spacious and Clean and food is traditional and plentiful. Who could want more?

Transport is also available and we booked a coach through the hotel for our group which proved very cost effective.More
