Expert reviews
“Setting the pace for Naples’ newer generation of upscale b&bs, the design-forward Dante House is ahead of the pack. Located in the heart of the city, its alchemy of chic modern interiors, disarming Neapolitan hospitality and refreshingly different breakfast make it a contender for the best place to stay in the city.”
“Owners Roberto Mastrangelo and Richard Glenn Killy collaborated with artist Gigi Cocciola to create this design-literate B&B. Set in an 18th-century palazzo, it successfully matches old and new, from ceiling frescoes and original timber-beam ceilings, to filament bulbs, upcycled-timber bedheads and geometric canvases. “

All you need to know
Located at the vibrant core of Naples’ Historic Center, our latest renovation project has transformed an 18th-century, erstwhile noble residence into a stunning piece of architecture.
Towering over one of the city’s key squares, the dwelling’s eight balconies seem to catapult you straight into the bustling Piazza Dante.
Characterized by its lofty, oak-wood, and frescoed ceilings, remarkably large rooms, custom-made decor, and exclusive interior design, it’s difficult to categorize this premium lodging: it oscillates between a stylish residence and a high-end hotel.
The six rooms underwent refurbishment in summer 2017. Each room is incredibly large, boasting private bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, a compact kitchenette, mini bars, sleeping lofts with beds, high ceilings, balconies with city vistas, and more.
The décor is sophisticated with an emphasis on minute details. The Dante House’s signature style, marked by its handmade elements, complements the ancient features seamlessly: it’s as if a refreshing resurgence sprouts from its thousand-year-old roots.

Comfortable rooms and welcoming staff. Good location to explore the old towns and shopping districts. Interiors were done well, updated with new appliances and finishes, yet still holds the classic neapolitan house look.
Coffee. Coffee could be better.

An urban delight.
Beautifully designed interior. Slightly spooky palace. Brilliant location. Excellent staff. Very fine breakfast. Impressive views over Piazza Dante.
The lift had a mind if it’s own.

Brilliant
The rooms are lovely and the location very central with a metro station outside fo easily linking all parts of the city. The breakfast was lovely with a broad range of options. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.
We have stayed here a few times and the first time it was a little unclear where to go, they provide a set of instructions of how to enter.find the building which are helpful however, lack clarity at times. Particularly when you are arriving late at night.

Great stay in Naples
The location of the hotel is great. Near old city on one side and right next to the via Toledo on the other side. Metro station is few meters away, plenty of bars and restaurants... and yet, not noisy since our room was facing the inner courtyard. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Considering this is a small hotel, there was plenty of choice for breakfast, which was very tasty. The staff is friendly, kind and helpful. Thank you Theresa (I hope I remembered the correct name) for all the advice. You were excellent. :)

Atmospheric and stylish pensione on the edge of the historic centre.
Our room's elegant painted ceiling and the people-watching opportunities from the tall windows overlooking Dante Square. Just turn left as you come out of the house and you are in the historic decumani

The best stay in Naples – we’ll definitely be back!
"Everything about our stay was absolutely amazing. The location couldn't have been better, nestled in the heart of Naples with easy access to everything we wanted to explore. The building itself was stunning, blending old-world charm with modern amenities. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The staff? Absolutely top-notch. Every single person we encountered was so friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in making our stay as enjoyable as possible. They gave us great recommendations and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. And then, there’s the cocktails. Wow! There’s a cozy little bar just around the corner where we enjoyed some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had. The fact that we got a discount there was just the icing on the cake! 💕💕 We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to our next trip back. This place truly exceeded all expectations!"

Gorgeous B & B in the heart of Naples
Beautiful rooms and property, nothing was too much trouble for staff, breakfast really good and authentic to Italy. Great location, we had a room facing onto Square so lots to look at and no noise as windows etc are very solid. Lovely place to stay, near to plenty of bus stops and bars/restaraunts easy to get to.

Good and convenient option, minus early breakfast attitude
Cute and tastily renovated b&b in an old building, no 24h reception but contactable by WhatsApp Convenient location on piazza dante right by key main streets and 20-25mins walk/10-15 mins direct metro to beverello port (for ferrys departure to nearby islands), lots of restaurants and food options around the hotel Deluxe room spacious with aircon, kitchenette, smart TV with multiple streaming platforms, room cleaned everyday, double bed super comfy Early check-in appreciated, and friendly welcome from Stefania with good advice on restaurants & things to explore in Napoli Good breakfast with sweet & savory pastry options, excellent coffee and fresh orange juice (no cooked options like eggs etc) starting from 8am. Self-serve snacks /tea /coffee available all day
Unnecessarily unpleasant attitude around breakfast before 8am - I flagged before arriving that we'd need to take off early for ferrys/day trips and the hotel was supposed to prep sandwiches for us. Not only they didn't, but the lady setting breakfast in the morning was weirdly protective over food and frankly unpleasant to my senior parents who cannot take their morning medication on an empty stomach. The lady eventually let us take some stuff to eat, but we could feel the tension and judgment. So uncalled for, it would litterally have cost nothing (financially and logistically) to set some food aside for us, to have early in our room or to go, and we would have been content. For the future, maybe the hotel can implement a simple to-go box system, as most top-rated hotels offer (esp. from around 200euros/night). We stayed 5 nights and for the last 2 we had breakfast after 8am, the breakfast lady was perfectly nice then. Other attention points: lift in the building costs 20cents/ride (hotel is in 1st floor with 3 sets of stairs), deluxe room is in mezzanine with sweaky floor upstairs and bathroom downstairs, small bed rather unconfortable and bouncy

The location is right in the middle of Napoli, the staff were friendly, attentive, stylish, whole place is modern, clean, tidy, uncluttered… we LOVED our room, had a mezzanine with 2 twin beds for sis and I, a balcony, the shower was amazing, the actual building so historical… just great all around.

Perfect location and high quality hotel with a relaxed vibe
Perfect location to explore the back streets and walk ways of the old city and live the culture. Convenient for a lot of attractions and all tours did pick up from Dante Square. The room was amazing and to a high spec. We stayed in room #6 which is positioned in the corner with view over the street and square. Can be a bit noisy at night but we did not mind that. Finally the staff are amazing, friendly and very helpful. A great relaxed hotel that felt like home.

We will back again!
The staff were super friendly and cooperative and very nice peoples… They available at WhatsApp. In the first day we saw that there is no fridge at the room, we asked for one, and they give us to the room in minutes… The hotel location is at piazza Dante, really central place, near to metro line 1 and very easy to get from there to any place. We recommend this place!
The entrance is with stairs..

An excellent place
Dante House is in the old town exactly where you want to be to have easy walking to the top places to visit in Napoli. The metro is a 2 minute walk, which takes you to Garibaldi station and trains to Pompeii. The property is excellent: a spacious room with a comfy bed, soft towels, great shower, fantastic continental breakfast with so much choice, staff who are so happy to help with anything, and quiet. We could use the dining area whenever we wanted and free coffee and tea was available, an honesty box was also there if you wanted soft drinks or wine/prosecco.
