With unrivalled views of Naples from the expansive private panoramic terrace, this penthouse's true highlight is its outdoor living area. Enjoy group dinners alongside views of Mount Vesuvius, the Sorrento Peninsula, Capri, and the city below. Once a scientific retreat for volcanologists in the early 1900s, the home has been restored to its original grandeur. And, while the style may not be to everyone's taste, there's a lot to like about it. The location is great, too. You'll be within reach of Piazza Vanvitelli and Castel Sant'Elmo, as well as lots of restaurants, places to see and things to do.

About Napoli
Compared to imperious Rome or stylish Milan, Napoli has tended to be overlooked when tourists considered which Italian cities to visit. However, it’s fair to say that in the past decade or so, its unfairly maligned reputation has started to shift and visitor numbers have steadily grown, helped by Elena Ferrante’s stirring Neapolitan novels that use the scenic location as a backdrop.
