What better way to feel at one with ancient Naples than to stay on the roof of a 16th century church within a renaissance palace? The Church bed and breakfast offers guests a peaceful sanctuary with amazing roof-top views. Its quirky, cosy rooms offer a sacred dose of tranquillity from the buzz of Naples below. All have city views and one is blessed with a private balcony, whilst some have shared bathrooms. There is free WI-Fi and a common room on site, whilst free cookery courses can be arranged. Guests can eat in using the shared kitchen and barbecue facilities on the communal terrace or there are plenty of restaurants and bars situated nearby. The hotel is part of the Palazzo Marigliano, possibly the most beautiful renaissance building in Naples, and on Spaccanapoli, the narrow street that dissects the old town. It is just 2km from Piazza del Plebiscito.
Most guests feel that a stay in The Church is really a unique and authentic experience. They adore its character, quirkiness and pretty decor. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. Things that guests would normally find off-putting, such as shared bathrooms and difficult access, are part of the charm.
The hosts at The Church play a huge part in creating its welcoming atmosphere. Their charisma and friendly nature is lapped up by the guests. Many comment on their flexibility and accommodating nature, giving lots of advice and welcoming late arrivals.
Right in central Naples, guests love being in the heart of the town, yet being removed from the noise and the buzz. There are lots of restaurants and bars nearby to eat out in too.
Unearthing the best treasures can be hard work. The Church is no different. It is not easy to find and 75 steep steps have to be overcome. Guests find the ascent is breathtaking - in more than one way. However, the effort is more than worth it on arrival. For older or less mobile guests or those with lots of bags, guests warn that The Church may be inappropriate.
Despite the obvious charms of the hostel, some find sharing a bathroom is not for them and detracts from the overall value for money offered. However, for most guests this is a very minor inconvenience and doesn't have much of a bearing on their stay.
Some guests seem to be a little bit disappointed that only instant coffee is available in The Church. Freshly brewed coffee for breakfast, like Italians are famous for, might just top off the experience!
