Hotel San Francesco al Monte in Naples

A History Soaked Stay in Naples

Once a hub for monks, San Francesco al Monte now welcomes wanderers with a taste for the past and an eye for the present. This place, older than your grandmother’s stories, invites visitors to gaze upon the Gulf of Naples and the ever-watchful Mount Vesuvius. Rooms come with all the usual bells and whistles – air con, TV that talks to satellites, and the always handy minibar. Don’t forget to check out the Corso Vittorio Emanuele Funicular Railway, just a hop, skip, and a jump away. They say it’s the best way to see Naples without walking your shoes off.

Breakfast here? It’s not just a meal; it's an event. Head to La Terrazza dei Barbanti on the 4th floor. They serve a buffet that's as big as a Neapolitan's heart. And if you stick around, you'll find Mediterranean dishes that might make you question your life choices – in a good way. Later, if the sun’s out, the panoramic garden is the spot. There’s a pool, and some folks say it’s like swimming in a postcard. Couples seem to like it here, maybe it’s the romantic air or the views that make even the most hardened hearts skip a beat. San Francesco al Monte, where history and comfort hold hands.
