The hotel clearly displays its history, and is perfect for those who appreciate unique hotels. The view was the best part--since the hotel sits high on the hills in Naples, our room had an amazing view of the water from the two large windows. The room was small but comfortable, with a writing desk, table, and a small sofa in... More

This is an elegant hotel, with staff that is well trained and smart, the English is great and the hospitality is wonderful. Breakfast is served on a terrace that over looks the waters of Naples and faces Vesuvius. The breakfast is very good, the pool was closed but the hotel was loaded with great art. I think this hotel is... More

The place is a little older and has it's quirks- shower would not drain and filled with water for one. Rooms are all different I think, so maybe if you're nice to the staff at check in you can get one of the bigger/better ones? We got a room that was pretty small even for European standards. Safe neighborhood although... More

Dear vthoie, Thank you for choosing our historical property for your stay in Naples. The hotel was built at 12 years ago. Our hotel was in origin a monastery, the building is solemn and discreet, characterized by a series of small and continuous windows. It is full of memories and stories, every place and corner seems to tell you the... More

We stayed in this hotel 5 years ago and had a wonderful experience, so we decided to repeat our stay the first days of april 2013. Our booking was for five nights in a junior suite. Unfortunatelly the suite we where offered was in any way comparable to the one we had in the past. I understand rooms do not... More

Thank you for an excellent stay during our short geataway in Naples. The hotel is in perfect location overlooking the city, between the 2 "funiculare" that connect the upper and lower part of Naples. Wear your comfortable shoes, walk and experience the city. Do not forget to eat a pizza at Sorbillo. While enjoying breakfast next day, Naples will be... More

Three nights in the "San Francesco Al Monte Hotel" was a unique experience with delights round every corner. Our spacious room provided comfortable modern facilities and yet retained the ancient charm and magic of the monastery building that was its origin. Our balcony with views over the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius became a profound treat as the last... More

A converted convent with magnificent views across the city towards Vesuvius. Each room is made up fron two or more nuns cells knocked together with trompe l'oeil ceilings and as the hotel is built into the side of the hill all rooms have the same view. THis view does include a busy road so if you like sleeping with the... More

A piece of history with breathtaking views over Naples. To be honest there are a few minor things which need attention but nothing that would put off a regular or first time traveller within Europe. This is a hotel with so much history that you tend to overlook the cracked paint etc. We stayed in mid February 2013 so didn't... More

What an amazing place....the hotel is an old monastry so the decor and the building is incredible. The view from the bar and restaurant is just beautiful over the bay.
