Arcadia Napoli B&B

Urban Palace

An ancient palazzo in the heart of one of Naples’ most vibrant neighborhoods, this luxury B&B is home to three different rooms fascinatingly furnished by an architect and interior designer. All three live up to the property’s intentionally chosen name, which means “idyllic comfort and simple pleasures.”

Lovingly rebuilt by architect and interior designer Francesco Della Femina and partner Barbie Ryan, this 17th-century palace offers simple luxuries like thoughtful, one-of-a-kind furnishings, art-splashed walls, and gleaming chandeliers. Artfully transformed into an exclusive and intimate bed and breakfast, it occupies an idyllic urban location in the heart of one of Naples’ liveliest historic neighborhoods, one mostly lived in by locals.

Each of the three stylish bedroom suites that make up this small luxury hotel in Naples offers the charm and refinement of its historic location, with modern indulgences such as gem-toned walls, bold artworks, custom-made furnishings, and spacious walk-in showers. Each room is unique, with its own nameplate, décor theme, and mood, and there’s even an option to combine two rooms for a two-bedroom suite. All rooms come with breakfast included at a neighboring café, and all offer in-room mini fridges, eco spa grade toiletries, and luxury linens.
