Housed in a late 19th-century neoclassical villa that once served as the residence for the Marquises Spinelli di Fuscaldo, the property still displays their ancestral coats of arms.

Expert reviews
“An oasis of what Italians call stile liberty (Art Nouveau style), with impressive stained-glass fittings and striking artwork, this serene, elegant hotel is well placed for touring the Museo Archeologico Nazionale and the Centro Storico. Each room is individually decorated—in the warmer months ask for one with a balcony and enjoy your breakfast alfresco.”
“A 19th-century Art Nouveau palace that once belonged to a marquis is set in a palm-shaded courtyard that’s mere steps from the archeological museum but a world removed from the noisy city—there’s even a small swimming pool for a refreshing dip.”
“A chic melange of antique furniture, contemporary art and Liberty stained glass, Costantinopoli 104 occupies a neoclassical villa in the city’s bohemian heartland. Although showing a bit of wear, rooms remain understatedly elegant, comfortable and spotlessly clean – those on the 1st floor open onto a terrace, while ground-floor rooms face the small pool.”
