Amid frescoes and neo-classical furnishings, you'll bump into a room called the Gallery of Mirrors, from whose balcony Giuseppe Garibaldi claimed the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to Italy in 1860.

The opulent rooms and common areas, featuring splendid gold and crystal chandeliers, blends with the modernity of plasma screens and fully equipped kitchens; a dive into the past that you can complete on the panoramic terrace, to just admire the view or enjoy the sun while sipping an espresso.

Built in a truly original style, combining the oddities and the playfulness of contemporary art with the flowing Baroque forms, the hotel is located inside a fine aristocratic palace from the late 16th century, of which the owners wanted to preserve the ancient splendor in several areas: you can be enchanted, with your nose to the sky, to admire the arched ceiling, the busts, the fountains and the fine marble details. 

Spacious, airy rooms suit all needs, the furnishings aiming to combine contemporary and vintage design, and also boast balconies and terraces for a stunning view.
