Channel 4's First Dates Hotel: Where is the resort and how much is it to stay there

A brand new series of First Dates Hotel began earlier this month.

The Channel 4 dating show hosts singletons in a luxurious resort as French maître d'hôtel, Fred Sirieix, welcomes them to meet their date. In a spin off from First Dates, the Brits head off to sunnier sights in Italy, rather than the London or Manchester based restaurants.

The participants of the programme have no idea who their date will be. However, if they hit it off on their first meeting then they have the chance to date again.

Manager Fred and his team of Cupids are on hand to manage the singletons every need. They provide a romantic backdrop as well as exquisite meals and drinks.

Where is the First Dates Hotel filmed?

The series was originally filmed at at Le Vieux Castillon in Castillon-du-Gard in France, before later switching to a new location for subsequent seasons. Since its second series the hit show has been filmed at the Aquapetra Resort and Spa in Campania instead.

The stunning hotel, which is surrounded by olive trees and an epic mountain view, is about an hour's drive from Naples, and is described on their official website as a "little piece of Eden". It boasts that it is an exclusive four-star hotel with 42 rooms and suites, the Spa, a large outdoor swimming pool, restaurants and a bar.

Keeping the romantic spark alive, the site also has its own chapels and hosts weddings.

How much does it cost to stay at the First Dates Hotel?

Prices vary depending on the type of room you choose to stay in, whether it be an executive suite or a double room. Room prices start at £285 per night.

The lower price will get you a classic double or twin room for one night including breakfast. Meanwhile, if you want to try something fancier you can pay as much as £517 per night to stay in a suite with a large double bed and a spa bath.

First Dates Hotel continues on Tuesdays on Channel 4 and All 4
