About this apartment rental

"THE ROYAL LIBRARY LOFT”: EXCLUSIVE LOFT IN ARISTOCRATIC & HISTORICAL 16th CENTURY PALACE

DESCRIPTION
If you are looking for a unique and authentic experience of history, arts, culture and literature in Naples, here is where you want to be.

It's like to live in a living museum with all the latest comforts of the XXI Century.

N.B. Over the years , with other apartments in the same palace we already received hundreds of 5-star reviews and several distinctive prices and awards such as Double Super-Host and Premium Host from others sites (please check the other listing “Exclusive Apt in Aristocratic XVI Bldg”).

This historical apartment, still fully furnished with the family's ancient furniture, is located in the the historic center, in the most ancient area of the town - Vergini district - and is part of a 16th century palace, still belonging to the same princely family who built it.

There lived, in the 18th century, the Great Saint, Alfonso de Liguori (August 1st on the calendar), Doctor of the Church and Founder of the Congregation of the Very Holy Redemptor, and in that palace he started his apostolate.

This stunning and just renovated apartment, on the second floor with private elevator, is composed by one double-bedroom (king-size bed) linked with its own bathroom and its private wardrobe, a second double-bedroom (queen-size bed) also linked with its own bathroom and its own private library [both bedrooms with vaulted ceilings], a huge living room also with vaulted high ceiling (90 mq - 1,000 sf), a fully furnished kitchen, private entrance/foyer and private elevator.

Both bedrooms are equipped with brand new 12,000 BTU A/C units.

By request, it is also possible to reserve a garage or a parking spot for your car.

Also, if available, it’s possible to use the panoramic terrace (90 mq - 1,000 sf) just on top of your living room and accessible by the private elevator.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
The Palace is in an area very well linked to everywhere (2 subways, 5 bus-lines and taxi rank) and offers many touristic attractions (Greek Hipogea of 4th century B.C.; Sacrarium of Fontanelle; Saint Gaudioso and Saint Gennaro's Catacombs; and many aristocratic palaces and important churches).

GETTING AROUND
In five minutes walk, you can reach Naples' Cathedral, with the priceless Saint Gennaro's treasure; and the National Museum of Archeology, with the finest pieces of Pompei and the wonderful Farnese's Collection.

YOUR AVAILABILITY
After your booking you will always be in contact with me, Francesco, via phone or email; while my mother, donna ‘Princess’ Paola, will welcome you and check you in upon your arrival.

She will also give you tips of what’s best to do and sightseeing around the city: our friends and guests are very enthusiast about it (please read reviews).

By appointment only, it's possible to visit the Prince's apartment, composed by several reception rooms, a huge ballroom with 18th century frescoes on the ceiling and a splendid 18th century chandelier, a very important library with 16th - 17th - 18th century books, in which rooms the princely family regularly organizes cultural events as concerts, theater exhibitions and debates.

On these occasions, and especially by night, some ghosts belonging to the family have appeared and seemed to enjoy very much to be in company… :-)

Furthermore, our Palace and its various apartments, including this one, have been a film set for important films and TV series, including, just to mention a few:
- "M son of the century" by Joe Wright (2022)
- "Mixed by Herry" by Sidney Sibilia (2022)
- "Ripley - the series" by Steven Zaillian (2022)
- "Nostalgia" by Mario Martone (2021)
- "Sono solo fantasmi" by Christian de Sica (2021)
- "I fratelli de Filippo" by Sergio Rubini (2020)
- "Gomorrah - the series" by Stefano Sollima & Francesca Comencini (2020)
- "The Jackal - the series" by Francesco Capaldo (2017)

6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
NaplesThis was our second stay with the host, in another apartment. While the apartment offers old world charm and historical and art collections, this particular apartment was not as well maintained or as clean as the first one we stayed in. The second bedroom is on the bottom floor with stairs that are difficult to navigate, especially with luggage. The main living space is roomy, with older furnishings and carpet. The kitchen was clean. The weather was quite hot while we were there and the big room was very hot. Fans worked well and the air conditioners in the bedrooms worked well. Recommend confirming that the boilers are on for hot water upon arrival. The washing machine was not working while we were there. If there are other guests in the apartments, be aware that the elevator might be locked on other floors because the doors are not shut properly by other guests. The property is in a noisy, busy area and the street noise is loud in the main floor bedroom. Caution is needed in the neighborhood at all times- heavy aggressive vespa and car traffic and it is important to protect your personal items (including jewelry on your person) while out and about on the streets. Appreciated the proximity to Concettina ai Tre Santi and Popella bakery and gelato. Francesco and his staff were super helpful with baggage transport, taxi and dinner reservations and even laundry while the washer wasn't working.
