Like a setting for a classic opera, the apartment building is one of the grand dames of Chiaia. Designed in the style of The Viennese Secession but with a Neapolitan flair for drama. To stay here is to experience the true Naples - the faded capital of an empire, one of the oldest cities in Europe, a metropolis in a spectacular setting between the blue sea and an ominous volcano. There is a balance between beauty and chaos and this apartment captures those qualities superbly. Convenient to cafés, excellent restaurants, the metro, and off the tourist track.
