San Francesco Al Monte Hotel Naples

4 stars

Corso Vittorio Emanule 328, Naples, Italy, 80135

Editorial review

Only in Italy can you have a luxury vacation in a refurbished 16th century monastery. There’s a swimming pool on the 7th floor of the hotel and the sleeping rooms at one time were monks’ quarters. The décor echoes the low key elegance of the architecture. If you are looking for a luxuriant, relaxing, and unique experience, this is a great place. Breakfast is included with the room rate.

Overview

Seemingly carved into a mountain side, a 16th century monastery once home to the monks of Barbanti (due to their flowing beards) is now home to San Francesco Al Monte Hotel.

Hotel San Francesco offers serene views over the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

Its rooms are equipped with Jacuzzi and offer a spectacular view of Naples and the Gulf.

A careful renovation of the old monk's cells has preserved their enchantment, architectural structure and several period details. The decor is characterized by measured elegance: delicate colors, lamps and classic furnishings.

The hotel has three restaurants onsite as well as conference and celebration rooms, garden, parking, garage and swimming pool.

Number of rooms   45.

          Leisure

          The seventh floor, where the hotel touches the green hill of San Martino, contains the swimming pool and the garden: it is an oasis of well-being and peace with a breath-taking view.

          The terrace features a hanging garden of rare beauty: the ancient gardens cultivated by the friars have been preserved with their walkways and bowers. A swimming pool was installed in the most scenic spot, carved out of the rock, almost camouflaged by the rocks and greenery. A second pool, with hot water and hammam, awaits guests in a hidden grotto.
