Situated in the incomparable setting of the ancient quarries known as the "Latomie dei Cappuccini" and set in the centre of a spectacular natural amphitheatre is the Grand Hotel Villa Politi . The hotel, with the recesses and extensions of its various parts, has three floors with mansards featuring magnificent windows that offer a fairytale view of the Mediterranean. From the monumental wrought iron gate, through the lush park, to the facade with the grand helicoidally staircase besieged by bougainvilleas, to the monumental colonnade of the portico, to the characteristic bow-window, you enter the sumptuous hall with walls covered in precious wood. Shiny marble and enormous mirrors reflect the light and the Liberty stained glass windows filter the rays of the sun that shine bright red beams onto the round couch in the centre of the hall. Carpets, curvy 19th-century tables, couches tucked into the corners, and lamps held up by figures of women evoke memories of the refinement of a time long ago. The hotel, completely renovated in 1998, offers 100 rooms on three floors including mansards.
