...As anyone who has read my early reviews knows- I love Italy! I've been going there now for the past ten years with my parents, and for the first time last year I made my own way there with the boyfriend for a nice Italian holiday. The Grand HotelExcelsior was my residence for numerous weeks holiday, and it certainly not one for the faint hearted! In the Thompson guide book it is described as 'quaint' which to put it politely is rather an understatement. One thing that can be said for it is it is completely oozing with Italian charm.
ARRIVAL/ LOCATION
If you book with Thompson as we did (though other tour operators go to the same location) flights go from Manchester Airport on a Friday morning, taking just over 2 and a half hours to get to Naples International Airport. From Naples the coastal resort of Amalfi is approximately...

...I stayed at the HotelExcelsior in Munich on a brief overnight stay following a business trip to Munich. The hotel had been recommended by the BayernLB, who I was visiting as part of the trip, and they'd been able to get me a very favourable rate - of EUR 118 for a night including breakfast which was a considerable saving over the rack rate for the hotel. It was particularly practical as the hotel was only a couple of hundred metres from the main railway station (Munich Hbf) which made it a good choice as I could drop my bags off on my way past on the way to the bank. I cose to check in at the same time - and despite the fact that my room was not ready, they were fine about this and had my luggage taken to my room as soon as it did become ready.
The hotel foyer was relatively small, with only a couple of reception desks...

Advantages: Short cheap flight, sun, food, scenery, nice people, city AND beach Disadvantages: Pricey, have to risk life and limb sliding down a minor scree slope into the sea!
...discovered its wonderful climate and it became the winter retreat for both British and Russian nobility. The Promenade des Anglais, the long sweeping prom between the city and the beach, was paid for by English visitors in 1822. Apparently it was an act of charity as the winter of 1821-22 was awful and the locals were starving, so the English paid them to build the Promenade. Originally it was just a broad path but it was extended and is now a busy road as well.
During the "Belle Epoque", late 19th century to early 20th, many luxury hotels were built including the Excelsior Regina where Queen Victoria stayed. Many are now apartments but some have retained their original use including the famous Negresco. They are said to look like wedding cakes and we could see where the description came from looking at them all.

I’ve just returned from a holiday in Nice, where there’s approximately 300 days of sunshine a year, there are French women sunbathing topless on the beach, and you can dunk your baguette in your coffee and just sit back and watch the world go by. I went more
