Come season in the winter months, the story changes. Reservations are definitely recommended. Within Naples there are also high end car dealerships including Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Bentley Motors. This once quiet oceanfront fishing village has now been turned into one of the most coveted luxury beachfront havens for the ultra rich millionaires and billionaires worldwide.
