Casa del Monacone - B & B Napoli

Great stay at Casa Monacone in Naples. In a central location close to everything within 10-30mins walk. Comfy beds and blackout curtains. Love that is next to a beautiful church as well. Thank you for the great stay, hope to return soon.

Such a fantastic little find. This is a lovely community-led business that is run by a team who has the neighborhood’s interest at heart. The manager and company went out of their way to make sure we found the place ok and were settled in, despite coming in many hours late due to a delayed flight. I challenge you to find a B&B who cares quite as much in the more popular tourist district! Rione Sanita is the perfect location to base yourself. You can easily visit the catacombs, Archeological museum, and the lovely Capodimonte park at the top of the hill. The few times we wondered into the tourist district, we were always ready to return home to Rione Sanita. Naples is such a wonderful city, just take our word and stay in this cozy district. Breakfast was tasty, showers are small, but hot with good pressure, and AC works great. Overall all a very comfortable stay. Good luck to the team and thank you for taking great care of us.

I could go on about the extraordinary setting - in a monastery complex which includes both flamboyant baroque decor, early Christian catacombs, and the pillars of a massive bridge built to allow royal coaches to avoid contact with the plebs - but what I liked the most was the enthusiastic and extremely friendly staff, who made us completely welcome and gave us tips about the neighbourhood. The rooms were spotless and the breakfasts included memorable warm Neapolitan patisseries and more than decent coffee. The place is run as a social charity, so your custom goes towards improving the lot of people in what is still a deprived, but super interesting neighbourhood. Bravo to la Paranza!

We had long wanted to visit Napoli and we searched the web for a B&B without any prior clue. We found the story of Casa Del Monacone very particular and we booked there. This turned out to be an incredible experience in the true heart of Napoli. Indeed, Rione Sanità is a popular neighbourhood with many sincere and touching stories. Giuseppe, along with the members of the association, have done a wonderful job renovating a convent and creating a very nice B&B. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast is very good. People are very nice and we received the best tips for visits and food. The location is very convenient, close to historical sites, great pizza restaurants, market and typical bars. The youth of the association play an important role against social exclusion and they have renovated the catacombs and other parts of the neighbourhood. This was a perfect way to discover Napoli for the first time. We highly recommend this experience.

Its located in the middle of Sanità which is full of live so you can get a good feel for italian and especially naples way of live. You also have very good restaurants and caffees near you. It was clean and had a rich breakfast. There is also a nice open quite terrace. The staff is lovely! Giuseppe and Marco are very nice and always helping out.

Oh my goodness, what a gem of a find. A really special community of people that felt like a great big family. The room was spotless, great shower and the air conditioning was blinkin wonderful and very welcome!!! Also a visit to the catacombs that are a part of the project are a must. If we're ever in Naples again we'll be staying here no question.

Casa del Monacone represents the real heart of Napoli. This lovely B & B was created out of the second floor of a former convent in the historic working class neighborhood of La Sanita’ . It was built and is staffed by the same young people of the neighborhood who restored the fabulous San Gennaro catacombs and conduct tours there in many languages. The B & B has all the modern conveniences, charming air conditioned rooms with giant art photos, comfy beds, beautiful tiled floors and modern baths. You can mingle in the latte breakfast room with open kitchen or on the outdoor patio. Take the elevator down and you are in the magnificent church of S Maria della Sanita’ and across the busy street is a Piazza where you can enjoy a meal at Pizzeria Oliva and watch the bustling street scene. This is the real Napoli, these young people love it and you will too.

A truly special place to stay in the heart of the lively Sanita district. Cool rooms with even cooler aircon. The people who run it really go out of their way to help. Lovely continental breakfast with good coffee. The catacombe tour was really entertaining thanks to the informative and amusing guide (from the same cooperative.) Definitely recommended.
