Location

Location is a prime factor for choosing a hotel in Naples. Naples' Hotel Cimarosa is set on the Vomero hill, home one of the city's most lively and fascinating districts. A densely populated residential and shopping neighborhood, the Vomero is a major attraction for thousands of tourists every year. Its pedestrian islands house elegant stores, elite shopping destinations nestled among splendid antique palazzos. From here you can also easily reach the great monuments and museums. In fact, the district is well connected by public transportation, with three historical cable lines and the modern subway system.

Constructed at the beginning of the 20th century in full-fledged Art-Nouveau style, the Vomero and its charming locales are found nearby the Sant'Elmo Fortress, the ancient Norman castle that was once the city's first defence and today dominates an enchanting panorama. Inside, the San Martino Museum documents the story of the Kingdom of Naples in an exceptional collection of paintings, sculptures, and period furnishings.

Villa Floridiana is another jewel in the Vomero's crown. A neoclassical style manor, the villa boasts a botanic garden set in a vast park that, between walking paths and camellia thickets, leads to a view of the Gulf of Naples. The villa houses the Duca di Martina National Museum of Ceramics with its collection of European porcelain.

The historic center of Naples, with its priceless historical and cultural heritage, is only 5 minutes away on the central cable line departing from the station below the Hotel Cimarosa. Hundreds of churches, palazzos, and museums vie for your attention along the roads and narrow streets that lead to the squares. Naples' most important square is without a doubt Piazza del Plebiscito: an immense space flanked by statues by Canova and the Church of San Francesco di Paola lies in front of the Royal Palace. The palace's exquisitely frescoed rooms are furnished according to the tastes of the various dynasties. Its famous scalone d'onore, a majestic stairway, leads to the "piano nobile" where the royal rooms, throne room, and court theater are still found today.

One of Naples' main streets is Via Toledo. Near Piazza del Plebiscito, in the very center of Naples, Via Toledo unwinds amidst palazzos, banks, and stores: this is the heart of Campania's capital. The pedestrian zone is dedicated to luxury shopping and pleasant strolls, ideally accompanied by an espresso from Galleria Umberto I.

Naples' environs and its Gulf offer many more reasons to stay at the Hotel Cimarosa. Capri, Ischia, and Procida are pearls in a sea that guarantees unforgettable experiences along the nearby Amalfi Coast. Last, but not least, the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum in the shadow of Vesuvius preserve the most important remains of Roman civilization.
