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.

Dante House offers a luxurious blend of historical charm and modern comfort in Naples
Dante House is a gem in the heart of Naples' historic center. The high-ceilinged rooms offer stunning views of Piazza Dante, blending historical charm with modern comforts. The staff are exceptional, and the continental breakfast is a delightful way to start the day. Highly recommended for travelers seeking both luxury and authenticity
just a gentle note: check-in requires coordination with the staff regarding your arrival time. While the messaging may seem a bit stringent, rest assured they are generally on-site and accommodating.

A stylish home in Napoli
We chose the Dante House because of its location, near many places of interest i.e. Museum of Archaeology) - and the charm of the building. The staff , especially receptionist (Denny?) were exceptionally helpfull, explaining everything (and more!) and letting us in before official check in times. The room was huge, with a well equipped kitchen if you stay for a while. A good choice!
Transport. NOT the hotels fault, but Napoli station - a chaotic nightmare - is half an hour away on Google maps: An hour in reality! Trouble is, the increadibly non-suitcase friendly Italian (volcanic) paving stones: They will ruin any normal suitcase. The solution is simple : Metro or taxi to Piazza Dante, and taxi or the (excellent, reasonable) transport service to the airport. Just an info really, the streets are incredibly busy, and unkind to suitcases! And ladies: Dont even think about high heals!

A pleasant and comfortable stay
The staff was really friendly and helpful, the location of the hotel is great and everything is near. The hotel is clean, easy to navigate and the breakfast was nice (although it could use some variety) but our stay was really pleasant!
I guess the only two things that could use some improvement are: the breakfast that was the same every day and the elevator was a little clunky. When we were bringing down the suitcases we had to take them down the stairs because the elevator wasn't coming for some reason. But really everything else was great!

Will be back!
Located in the heart of my favourite neighbourhood in Napoli, a rich tapestry of book vendors and print shops, cool bars and restaurants and close to the archeological museum. Friendly, warm staff! Large comfortable rooms which have maintained their original decorative details and added contemporary design. Independence to come and go with a door key to the large door entry to the inner courtyard made us feel like local residents. Loved our stay and will be back!!
Breakfast could have had offered a few more options to choose from, however overall very happy.

Lovely one-night stay! Great value for money. Would definitely return!
We had a wonderful stay! The room was beautiful and spacious enough for a one-night stay. The pillows were very comfortable. It is a shame we could not stay for breakfast as it looked delicious. The self-serve honesty bar was also a super nice touch! Would definitely return :)
Our original room had a malfunctioning AC so we were offered another room which faced the Piazza. It was a bit loud as there was a bar with music downstairs - the rooms facing the inner courtyard would have been more quiet.

Pit stop before Positano. Naples is a crazy,arty place and the hotel is central, if I ever stayed again I would stay in
The bed was very comfortable , staff helpful.
The lift - you need 20c to operate

Amazing. Wonderful. Awesome.
Greeted by friendly staff straight away. Helped us with our bags too. I wasn’t feeling well and straight away we were allowed in our room. We arrived at midday too. Our checkin was at 2pm. So grateful for the friendly staff in accommodating me. Breakfast again was awesome. Fresh squeezed juice and a variety of food made available to us. We were leaving early before breakfast was opened. The staff again went out of their way to make sure we ate and then left. Can’t wait to visit again. Great location in the heart of the city too. Staff kept asking if we needed anything to just let them know. It was a warm friendly family environment. Very cosy and comfortable atmosphere. Loved our stay.
There was nothing not to like. It was an excellent stay.
