The Chiostro is located in the Vomero district, above the noisy and lively city centre. The Vomero is characterised by wide tree-lined streets, some of which are pedestrianised and home to many cafes, restaurants and trattorie, perfect for the evening passeggiata. Ten minutes or so away on foot from the Chiostro, the city of Naples can be explored via the funiculars (there are two) as well as further afield using the metro, tickets are valid for both. The Chiostro is a converted monastery facing a small square, with a wide vista of the city below and the island of Capri besides being next door to a wooded park. Among the hustle and bustle of a city such as Naples, it is truly a quiet place where one can relax. The conversion is a fairly recent one and the room was very well furnished with all amenities. We were given a very warm welcome by the staff, typical of this part of the world. They were very helpful in suggesting places to visit making this first visit to Naples a memorable one.
