Pozzuoli, situated within the Metropolitan City of Naples, serves as the heart of the Phlegrean Peninsula. Historically known as Puteoli, this city was a vital commercial hub for ancient Rome, leveraging local volcanic sand for concrete production. For frequent-flier hotel travelers, Pozzuoli offers a compelling blend of deep historical roots and unique geological features. Its proximity to Naples provides easy access to major transit networks, while its own rich heritage—from Greek colonies to Roman ports—offers a distinct alternative to standard tourist centers. The city's layout reflects its layered past, making it an interesting base for exploring the wider Campania region.

The coast of Campania, and in particular the Bay of Naples, boasts a wealth of breathtaking views – and this is one of the most spectacular. Once you arrive at the Cala Moresca hotel, leave your car in the car park and hotel staff will accompany you to the restaurant. On a tranquil promontory surrounded by greenery, take a seat on a terrace overlooking the sea, with views of the islands of Procida and Ischia in front of you, the unmistakeable silhouette of Capri to your left and the mainland and mountains of Procida to your right – simply magnificent!
