Four star hotel, Naples, Italy

Hotel San Francesco al Monte, Naples

Once a 16th-century monastery, this edifice has now been converted into an elegant, comfortable four-star hotel ... an establishment with stunning, panoramic views. The Hotel San Francesco al Monte offers all the modern amenities you would expect yet manages to retain many of the building's unique features and romantic atmosphere. There is the oven the monks used to use to make their bread, and fragments of ancient frescoes. A nearby funicular connects the hotel to the historic centre (centro storico) of the city.

Perfect for both holidaymakers and business travellers, the hotel has 44 classically furnished rooms, each with views over the city and the Gulf of Naples. All rooms boast their own bath or Jacuzzi, and are equipped with a full range of modern amenities.

The hotel has a selection of fine restaurants and an excellent wine cellar. Places to eat include La Terrazza dei Barbanti (which specialises in local and regional dishes), and the stylish, modern La Cantinetta dei Barbanti (a different set menu each night, each featuring delicious soups and Italian cheeses and meats).

Other facilities at the Hotel San Francesco al Monte include a lovely rooftop swimming pool set among rocks and greenery, a terrace featuring a beautiful hanging garden, and an important collection of contemporary art.
