Both are within a mile or so of the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts, where the Bolshoi Ballet and jazz artist Wynton Marsalis, among many others, have performed. Like its sister city in Southern Italy, Naples' very name promises the beauty of water and art, scrumptious food and fine wines. Naples is in Collier County in southwest Florida, about 156 miles southwest of Tampa. We drove there in less than three hours via Interstate 75. We believe it.
All rooms have private balconies with a view of the Gulf of Mexico.
Our one-bedroom suite had a sweeping view of Pelican Bay, Clam Pass Sanctuary and the Gulf. A free trolley takes guests who don't want to walk the three-fourths of a mile to the beach. Room rates vary by size and season. The high season in Naples is roughly from the beginning of October to the end of May. Tennis and golf packages also are available. We had a superb dinner and wonderful service at Lafite, an elegant, award-winning and romantic restaurant in the Registry Resort.
