Leaving your golden palace on the seafloor, you emerge on the private sandy beach of the Hotel Tritone ****, an enclosed cove bordered protectively by volcanic headland with emerald hilltops hovering above.
You are immediately greeted with a welcome drink, courtesy of VeryChic, before making your way to the lavish gardens. Unused to a dry environment, you find yourself a covered spot under the shade of a fragrant citrus tree. You inhale deeply, sipping your drink and enjoying the medley of fresh scents, mingled with the moisture that permeates the air from the verdant surroundings.
Longing to return to water, you seek out a sparkling swimming pool and refresh yourself under a cascading jet. On one side, the sea stretches to the horizon as though an extension of the pool, and on the other, an intricate mosaic creates an illusion of the same.
Later, you explore the serene surroundings of the spa, feeling as though you are stepping into a traditional Roman bath where well-being and rejuvenation reign. You indulge in an anti-stress massage, listening to water trickle in the background before re-emerging, entirely relaxed, in the elegant interior of the hotel.
You are pleased to see the ocean theme continued in the furnishings and accents of colour in your spacious double room. Upon entering, you spot a complimentary bottle of wine from VeryChic to enjoy before you return to the sea. In the meantime, you dive into the delicate double bed and drift away on an ocean of dreams.
