Picolo recommends · Hotel in Naples, Campania
Palazzo Alabardieri
A calm Chiaia street lined with boutiques and wine bars, a calm, classic lobby, and the sea just round the corner.
Turn off the busy shopping streets of Chiaia and the noise drops. Wine bars set out a few tables, shop windows glow, and the doorway of Palazzo Alabardieri opens onto a calm, classic lobby.
Chiaia is the smart, residential side of Naples, between the old centre and the bay. From here you reach Piazza dei Martiri in a couple of minutes, and Galleria Umberto, Castel dell'Ovo and Piazza del Plebiscito all make easy walks.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Palazzo Alabardieri
We chose it for a first trip to Naples. You sleep in a calm, safe part of town, yet the old centre, the seafront and the shopping streets are all within reach. Couples and families who value attentive staff and a classic hotel will be well looked after.
Most rooms have no view, which can feel like a missed chance in a city on a bay. If waking up to the sea matters to you, look at the hotels on Via Partenope. The water is only a short walk away from here.
