La Dolce Vita: Stay in the First Dates Hotel - Fred and Merlin not included!

Details

Recently, we here at Pirate HQ are finding ourselves living our travel dreams through the guests at the First Dates Hotel. Even though the idea of meeting strangers is a little bizarre currently, we have tracked down the romantic setting of the hit Channel 4 show, so you can start planning your next romantic getaway - once this is all a distant memory!

Now we cannot promise charming maître d Fred or charismatic bartender Merlin, what is available during a stay here are incredible views of the surrounding Italian countryside in a classy setting.

The Aquapetra Resort & Spa lies in the sleepy town of Telese Terme, north of Naples. Housed in a refurbished ancient building, the hotel is the perfect mix of old and modern.

Take a day out to the historical city of Naples, or live it up on the Amalfi Coast - just an hours drive away.
