My only compliant is that the online photos do not do it justice!! This place is absolutely stunning and the service was impeccable. My boyfriend proposed to me here, and David was amazing to work with. David kept in constant contact and even set up our engagement prior to our arrival. This hotel makes you feel like you’re in Tuscany. The service was amazing and we were constantly waited out. The food is a 10/10. The menu is small, I was concerned because I am picky but everything we ordered came out fresh, hot, and delicious. This hotel is truly a hidden gem in Naples

The food was absolutely unbelievable—easily some of the best I’ve ever had, and every meal felt like a thoughtfully curated experience. The staff is simply amazing. Kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making your stay unforgettable. Shout out to Marco! The hotel itself is beautiful, with every detail thoughtfully designed. My room was spotless, super comfortable, and felt like a peaceful retreat. The pool area was pure paradise—gorgeous, tranquil, and the perfect place to unwind. This was truly a dream stay. I felt pampered from start to finish and can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for a perfect place to go Hotel Escalante is the place to go!!!

We had the most fabulous stay the hotel Escalente. It’s a great boutique hotel with beautiful scenery and outstanding service. Marco, Anna and Holly were exceptionally wonderful. Marco took us to the beach in the golf cart and made sure we always had ice. We ordered lunch from the restaurant and Marco delivered it to the beach. He’s a gem! You don’t often find the level of service he provides. We had breakfast every morning on our patio. It was truly amazing! One of the top 3 places I’ve ever stayed. Can’t wait to go back!

This hotel stay has been one of most favorite discoveries we’ve made in Naples. It’s located in downtown and walking distance to everything from shopping to dining with no shortage of either. Our room was wonderful with all the amenities. Marco was the most wonderful person to help you with any requests from dining to beach access with a shuttle ride.

We have traveled all over and The Escalante is our new favorite place to stay. This hotel was absolutely amazing! The management and staff were on top of every detail. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The outdoor private terrace was spectacular! It was a nice place to sit and have coffee in the morning. The grounds and pool area were beautifully decorated and the landscaping was perfection. We mentioned we wanted to go to the beach one morning and Marco - who is super friendly and helpful - gave us a ride down the block in his golf cart. When we arrived, they had set up the chairs, umbrella, and side table for us to enjoy our time in the sun. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!! Thank you to all Escalante staff for making our stay the most enjoyable ever
