Belle Arti Resort

Be sure to ask for one of the rooms with the painted ceiling!

Perfect location, just steps away from the Archeological Museum and easy walking distance to many other sights. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast fine. The frescoes on my room's ceiling were a joy to behold.

This is a boutique hotel in the oldest part of Naples Italy in a building about 5 or 6 hundred years old. It is almost next to the National Archeological Museum and within walking distance or near subway/bus lines to other sites. This hotel gives the experience of living as the residents of this building did hundreds of years ago. Not modern and it was not originally built as a hotel, but with the quirky aspects of a former residence converted to a hotel. For example, you enter the hotel through a small, short and heavy door that is a "cut out" of a heavy set of wooden gates on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. All of the staff was helpful, but we have to thank Claudio especially for his daily attention to the special needs of my wife.

The bathroom is built into the room on a wooden floor raised about 25 cm or so above the original terrazzo floor. This is is necessary, because plumbing cannot be run through the old stone and cement structure, but only under a raised wooden structure like this. This is not a problem, but to provide space in the bathroom, the shower is very, very small, especially for a very tall person.
