About this property

EXCLUSIVE APT with TERRACE in Aristocratic XVI Century Palace in Historic Center

If you are looking for a unique and authentic experience of history, arts, culture and literature, here is where you want to be.
It's like to live in a living museum with all the latest comforts of the XXI Century.

The historical apartment - on the second floor with private elevator - still fully furnished with the family's ancient furniture, is located in the the historic center, in the most ancient area of the town - Vergini district - and is part of a 16th century palace, still belonging to the same princely family who built it.

There lived, in the 18th century, the Great Saint, Alfonso de Liguori (August 1st on the calendar), Doctor of the Church and Founder of the Congregation of the Very Holy Redemptor, and in that area he started his apostolate.

The apartment, served by a private elevator, is composed by two double-bedrooms (king-size and queen-size beds), dining room, living room, bathroom, fully furnished kitchen and huge panoramic terrace (90 mq - 1,000 sf).

Both bedrooms are served by 12,000 BTU A/C units.

Parking space inside the building upon request and for a little extra per-day.

The apartment is in an area very well linked to everywhere (2 subways, 5 bus-lines and taxi rank) and offers many touristic attractions (Greek Hipogea of 4th century B.C.; Sacrarium of Fontanelle; Saint Gaudioso and Saint Gennaro's Catacombs; and many aristocratic palaces and important churches).

In five minutes walk, you can reach Naples' Cathedral, with the priceless Saint Gennaro's treasure; and the National Museum of Archaeology, with the finest pieces of Pompei and the wonderful Farnese's Collection.

By appointment only, it's possible to visit the Prince's apartment, composed by several reception rooms, a huge ballroom with 18th century frescoes on the ceiling and a splendid 18th century chandelier, a very important library with 16th - 17th - 18th century books, in which rooms the princely family regularly organizes cultural events as concerts, theater exhibitions and debates.

On these occasions, and especially by night, some ghosts belonging to the family have appeared and seemed to enjoy very much to be in company. :-)

Furthermore, our Palace and its various apartments, including this one, have been a film set for important films and TV series, including, just to mention a few:
- "M son of the century" by Joe Wright (2022)
- "Mixed by Herry" by Sidney Sibilia (2022)
- "Ripley - the series" by Steven Zaillian (2022)
- "Nostalgia" by Mario Martone (2021)
- "Sono solo fantasmi" by Christian de Sica (2021)
- "I fratelli de Filippo" by Sergio Rubini (2020)
- "Gomorrah - the series" by Stefano Sollima & Francesca Comencini (2020)
- "The Jackal - the series" by Francesco Capaldo (2017)

A wonderful apartment within the most incredible palace in the centre of the historic district. The hosts were so welcoming and responsive to any queries. We particularly enjoyed our tour of Donna Paola's home and learning about the history. The terrace overlooks the busy street but it is a peaceful haven for relaxing at the end of sightseeing. We walked everywhere and visited all of the amazing Caravaggio paintings but also loved the catacombs and Subterranean Napoli.

Un accueil succint, literies propres mais pas le reste (frigo et vaisselle, poussière), terrasse pas très avenante. L'accès à la salle d'eau et wc ne peut se faire qu'en traversant une des 2 chambres. Impossible de verrouiller la porte de séparation avec la vieille dame propriétaire qui n'hésite pas à rentrer sans frapper et quand on n'est pas là. Accès à l'appartement uniquement par ascenseur: risque d'être bloqués sans issue si la propriétaire n'est pas chez elle.

Incredible & very special place

It was like stepping back in time to stay in this beautiful apartment which is in part of what was a palace. It felt really special. Amazing to be shown around the rest of the palace too, by Paola. The location is really good - right in the best part of the historic centre and next to the most amazing pizza restaurant which our kids especially adored. Thank you Francesco & Paola!

Séjour merveilleux dans un ancien palais

Nous avons passé 5 jours fantastiques. Un accueil chaleureux et conciliant de Francesco et de sa mère. L’appartement se trouve au nord du centre historique. Tout Naples est facilement accessible à pied ou transport en commun. Je recommande. Un petit bémol au niveau de la cuisine qui n’est pas très équipée. Mais les nombreux restaurants à proximité ont palier ce manque !

Palazzowohnung im Herzen von Neapel

Wir hatten zwei herrliche Tage in Neapel. Die Ferienwohnung befindet sich in den engen Gassen der Altstadt Sanitas. Umgeben von Bars, Restaurants und allerlei Läden. Von der Terrasse aus kann man wunderbar die Perfektion von Chaos sehen und hören. Die Ferienwohnung entspricht genau der Beschreibung und dem Kurzvideo. Es gibt am Zustand deshalb nichts zu bemängeln. Die Klimaanlagen leisteten ganze Arbeit und in den Schlafzimmern war Umgebungslärm nichts zu hören. Von der Küche haben wir nur Kühl- und Gefrierschrank gebraucht. Die Reservierung der Garage hat hervorragend geklappt und sie befand sich im gleichen Gebäude, so dass man jederzeit ans Fahrzeug konnte. Was noch erwähnt werden sollte ist, dass außer bei An- und Abreise der einzige Weg in die Ferienwohnung über einen engen Aufzug möglich ist. Nichts für Menschen mit Platzangst. Uns hat der Aufzug so wie die ganze Wohnung sehr gut gefallen. Beim nächsten Neapel-Besuch würden wir gerne wieder kommen.

Special venue

The apartment is full of beautiful furniture and art. The owners are great and very communicative, the (history of )the palazzo is amazing. It would be good for one couple to stay. We were staying with friends and to get to the toilet we had to walk through the other's bedroom, not ideal. The location is central which is good to go anywhere, but it comes with a lot of trafic noise. One does get used to that a bit because it is so constant... We came to Naples by car and it was great to be able to park the car on the terrain of the palazzo.

Perfect Naples holiday stay

Coming to Naples? You'll need at least a week as there is so much to see and experience in the city and close by. Our lovely host Paola greeted us and gave us lots of ideas for itineraries. It was a privilege to be able to stay in her lovely historic home, and the apartment had everything we needed (though we choose to self cater slot). Excellent pizzeria next door, 1 minute walk to a fantastic gelateria, 2 minutes to an outstanding patisserie and lots of bread/veg/fruit sellers out from 9am to 8pm daily.en route to the nearest station Cavour (approx. 8 minutes on foot). Do stay with Paola, we loved the apartment...enjoy Naples!

About the host

Hosted by Francesco

Host profile image
We are still the princely family who owns the family's building.

With 20 years of background in Public Relations and Consulting in New York City, we speak English, French, Spanish and German fluently.

Why they chose this property

David Gepner (Germany)
Gianfrancesco's apartment is really as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. When we got to Napoli, we met up with his mother Paola, who gave us the key and showed us around. She is extremely friendly and helpful and provided us with invaluable assistance throughout of stay, making sure we got the most out of our trip, and Gianfrancesco was always available by phone, in case we had a problem. Our apartment, together with hers, occupies the entire third floor of a huge, family-owned, aristocratic building, right in the center of Napoli. The palace itself is very old, with very high ceilings (some frescoed) and huge windows. Our quarters were six rooms (including two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom, which is accessed through one of the bedrooms) plus an enormous terrace which overlooks a marketplace district below, where seemingly all the locals went for their daily shopping. Needless to say, the food was sublime, with cheap quality groceries available in the shops on the street below and incredible restaurants scattered throughout the city. The city itself is extremely vibrant and full of history, and the surrounding countryside is some of the most gorgeous I've even seen (especially the Amalfi coast) . All in all we couldn't have asked for a better or more memorable experience, courtesy of Gianfrancesco and Paola. We will certainly be back!

Will Brag (S. Francisco - USA)
This rental made our stay in Napoli outstanding. I have to admit we were a bit skeptical about visiting Napoli but Paola (our hostess) was as charming as lovely as anyone could be. She put us at ease immediately and continued to treat us as family. We were sad to say goodbye to Paola but I am sure we will see her again. Now we have a reason to visit Napoli. The apt itself was as charming as Paola, filled with antiques and art. The very large private terrace was a great place to relax after a day of visits. Honestly, we can't thank paola enough for her sweet kindness!

What makes this property unique

The apartment is in an area very well linked to everywhere (2 subways, 5 bus-lines and taxi rank) and offers many touristic attractions.

By appointment only, it's possible to visit the Prince's apartment, composed by several reception rooms, a huge ballroom with 18th century frescoes on the ceiling and a splendid 18th century chandelier, a very important library with 16th - 17th - 18th century books, in which rooms the princely family regularly organizes cultural events as concerts, theater exhibitions and debates.
