Blu Hotel

our first aim of the trip was exploring Naples, but we also wanted some days with possibilities for a bath on the beach, so we thought this place would be excellent. We sendt an email some days in advance, to inform a late arrival. 2 days later we got an reply (in italian) that this would be no problem (we don't speak italian, but as they were advertising they speak english, we didn't believe it would be a problem). Arriving at the train-station at Pontecagninio, we couldn't find any information about buses or taxis! This was an unmanned station - there were absolutely no-one ask! As we arrived at the airport in Naples, a taxi-strike was going on, so we assumed this was also the case in Pontecagnanio. So we spent 2 hours walking to the hotel..... with suitcases..... throught desolated streets without light. When we finally arrived at the hotel, we were not offered any food or drink (only italian-speaking personnell at the reception) - we managed to communicate we needed some food, We got a plate with some bread-cubes and thin slices of honey-melon - no drink were offered. The room itself was ok - big with balcony and well-functioning aircondition. The bathroom were outdated, with mould. The shower head and mixer tap were green of corrosion. The shower cubicle was very small with no shelfs. The break-fast: A tragedy! They said it was typical italian breakfast - so I feel very sorry for the italians. 2 slices with dry bread, and marmemellade. They had also 2 sorts of youghurt for those who fancy that. To drink there was water and we-take-what-we-have-juices.... if they remembered to put it out on the desk. For lunch and dinner we had to find other places - which was not easy as many hotels and restaurants obviously didn't survive the covid lock-down. Only 1 man at the hotel understood english, and he helped us when we needed a ride to/from the train-station (there are no taxis in Pontecagniano - why didn't the hotel offer to pick us up upon arrival the first day?????) Regarding the beach: as a hotel guest, we were NOT ALLOWED to use the sun-beds closest to the sea! There were not many guests at the hotell, but we were told to move further up on the beach! Where there were no breeze and more meters on the too hot sand to get to the water
