Its an amazing and unique hotel, converted form an old monastery right on top of a hill overlooking Vesuvius, breathtaking views, great service and food.
4.0 / 10.0
Great views over Naples and Vesuvius - high above bustle of the city. Old fashioned monastic charm but some rooms could do with updating (tiny plastic shower). No complimentary drinking water offered in the room . Lovely terrace for drinks and meals - beware thieving seagulls. No fresh orange juice at breakfast. Dinner was good. Will happily stay again. Valet parking a bonus.

Very comfortable and interesting hotel. It was a cool cent converted to an interesting hotel. They accommodated an early check in which was very helpful for us since we we had an overnight flight.
2.0 / 10.0
The view from the hotel was amazing. The staff was extremely friendly, and the service was excellent. However, the hotel was quite worn down and really needed renovation. I can't recommend this accommodation considering how much it costs to stay there.

Filthy property, horribly bed, run down facilities and the pool looked nothing like the pictures they posted. The staff was great. If you gave them a hotel worth them it would be a 5 star facility. How it got over 8 rating is byond me.

The hotel was awesome, almost like a museum actually. The rooms was spacious and we had a nice view. The pool area was nice and the staff was helpful. Would definitely stay again.
10.0 / 10.0
Excellent hotel and great staff who are really accommodating. The room is clean everyday by housekeeping. The only thing that was annoying was that I had no internet in my room or the whole floor for that matter which has been broken for 5 nights which was my entire stay. I definitely would return and the internet is not a deal breaker and is just one of those things which is a very small issue.

Such a lovely hotel that is very unique and charming! The rooms are beautiful, bathrooms and shower wonderful, so glad we stayed here. The pool and roof top so relaxing and the view of the city, port and Mount Vesuvio were spectacular. Our dinner was excellent and service outstanding. Convenient and short ride to the airport. I cant wait to return to this hotel!

I was given a room different than what I booked. When I tried to approach the desk about it- I saw photo copy’s of passports laying around and immediately felt unsafe.

Really nice for when we first landed in Naples. You do have to be good with walking, it's up the hill but we enjoyed walking through so many areas. The pool and staff were very friendly. The breakfast was nice too. Very cool hotel.

Excellent property in an ancient monastary with amazing views of Naples. At the top floor swimming pool is just like being at a resort, in the middle of Naples! Restaurant terrace overlooking Naples, food quality just average, though.
10.0 / 10.0
Very nice hotel — though the views of Naples are what make it special. Nice rooms. The pool is small but nice (mostly adults in it though our kids enjoyed it). Restaurant for lunch was quite good; the breakfast was fine but nothing special. Not in the center of town and best to cab in if you need to — but easy to get a taxi.

We wished we had more time to spend here but we had events that took up much of our time. The pool area is gorgeous, the restaurants and food choices are fantastic. They had the best brioche I’ve ever eaten in the breakfast buffet. So fresh delicate & buttery. I definitely overindulged:) The staff is welcoming and very professional. The check in/check out process seamless. There are secret chambers off of the 3rd floor of this old monastery that are open to explore & super cool- we felt like children again adventuring down the stairs cut into the rock. Beauty in every corner. The views of Vesuvius from the breakfast area are beyond incredible. Bravo to the staff:)

Simply put, the view makes it all worthwhile. It is spectacular. The room was also very nice, with a spacious bathroom and a comfortable bed. WiFi was reliable too. Bring comfortable shoes and take advantage of the opportunity to walk both above and below the hotel in the neighborhoods on endless stairs and inclines. And don’t believe rumors about dangerousness of the streets, except perhaps motos coming around a corner too fast. Napoli is the least “European” city in the best way possible, but this hotel offers a quiet and comfy respite from the city’s beautiful chaos.

The air conditionin unit in our room was incredibly noisy and almost unusuable. We had to get up at 3 am to open the windows to cool the room. We were unable to sleep comfortably due to the noise.
The A/C unit sounded like it was coming apart.
I reported the problem to the front desk in the morning, and i was told that a technician was going to check the unit up.
The next evening, the problem was exactly the same, either their maintenance person(s) are incompetent, or they jist don't care to fix the unit, probably to save money.
I would strongly warn any possible victims that are planning to spend any time in this hotel during the upcoming summer months !!

4.0 / 10.0
An amazing hotel, with views to die for and the people working there were very professional, polite and engaging!
The views from the bar/ terrace area, as well as the roof were breathtaking! Our view from our sea view room was also excellent, all be it a very small window.
My biggest disappointment was the air conditioning or lack of it as the hotel was unbelievably hot, with the heating on full!
I was there for 3 nights and after having an engineer look at the air conditioning, it worked but made the most horrific noise the whole time when on, and it kept flicking on and off every 5mins, which made sleeping almost impossible.
This definitely played its part in our stay and would most likely make me avoid in high summer!

Gorgeous hotel with beautiful rooftop pool. Staff were all fantastic and really looked after us. Used the valet service, which was super easy.

Swimming pool and dining terraces were superb , wonderful views out over the bay of Naples. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The Vignetto dining spot was memorable with great reasonably priced food in a beautiful setting. The funiculare railway is the best way to get down into Naples centre and only takes a few minutes. Taxi are also plentiful and fast and relatively cheap.

I hate to leave negative reviews, but I wish I would have read this before booking. We’re shocked that the hotel has such positive ratings as we really didn’t enjoy our stay - it is definitely not a 4 star hotel and I promise there are better options in Italy!
Overall, the common areas and interiors are very worn down and dated, not in an authentic and charming way as depicted in photos. Our room being on the same floor as the restaurant, we could always hear staff, trolleys and slamming doors. Our shower had no water pressure, making it impossible to wash long hair, and the water was either freezing cold or burning hot. When mentioned to the receptionists, they said they’d try to repair it but it didn’t work. We went to check out the pool area, which was really small and disappointing - very happy we didn’t pay the extra charge to use it. The area is really unpleasant and dirty, and we discovered a cockroach in the pool restroom. The breakfast was probably the worst part of it all. While the selection was similar to other small Italian hotel breakfasts, the quality was the worst and it was just an overall unappealing experience. The few pastries and cut fruit weren’t covered so flies were hovering over it. The glasses, cutlery and dishes were not properly clean, and the whole place felt dirty and sticky.
We’re giving this hotel 3 stars, solely for the view (which is lovely) and its central location close to major sights. I would never come back and never recommend it.

We love the view and the pool, and all the extras that came with the location that made exploring the hotel. Amazing.

A unique boutique hotel set overlooking Naples Bay easily reached by funicular. Being a former monastery, the plumbing needs a little forgiveness but the rooms are decorated stylishly with plenty of space. The terrace and pool area make for great relaxation after exploring the city. Be aware this hotel is a popular wedding venue and wedding guests seem to take precedence over staying guests, having to vacate the pool area by 5pm, the Terrace on occasion for private parties, and late at night be subjected to rowdy crowds leaving. I’d like to see management get a better balance here for future guests.

This is NOT just a hotel but an EXPERIENCE. It is a fascinating walk through history. The staf is most accommodating and go out of their way to accommodate you.

Gorgeous views of the port and city! Excellent restaurant on the 4th floor with expansive views of the city.
8.0 / 10.0
The hotel is in an old monastery. The building & gardens are beautiful. The view from the rooftop is gorgeous. However, the hotel feels little forgotten. The staff can only be seen in the front desk & pool area. However, the service by the pool is bad. They barely come to see if you need anything to drink. The pool is frigid cold. There's a grotto where a jacuzzi used to be, but now is empty. The gardens, though beautiful are unkempt. The close the pool at 5 & there are wedding often on the rooftop. The guests cannot access the rooftop after 5 if there is an event, which is often. The area is quiet & calm, but not close to dining. You'll need a taxi for mostly everthing. I think next time, I'd skip this place & head down to the area by the Castelo del Ouvo.

Perfect place to call home in Naples! Hotel
has so much character and charm. The rooftop bar is a must!
