Welcome to www.fiorentiniresidence.it
A couple of years ago we worked out a very ambitious programme: to build up a B&B in Naples, Italy, completely different from a typical B&B according to which it should offer basic accommodation at very low prices. That would mean accommodation suitable to young people or to travellers with a limited economic capacity. We seized a special opportunity when we were offered an area of more than 200 square meters on the seventh floor of Medina skyscraper, usually called “grattacielo Jolly” as several floors from the 14th floor on are used by Jolly Hotel. The idea of creating a very elegant B&B is economically dangerous as travellers with a good budget usually prefer hotels. Facing such a difficult task attracted us and we decided to finalise our programme. Architects and fitters started working and after several trials finalised a project. A full year of hard work and the six bedrooms each with a private bathroom were ready.
Today Fiorentini is an elegant and comfortable guest-house situated in the heart of Naples at about 100 metres from Piazza Municipio, Molo Beverello (from which you can leave for Capri, Ischia, Procida, Sorrento), via Toledo, piazza del Plebiscito, San Carlo opera house, the Royal Palace and the main shopping area.
The archaeological sites , the ancient Greek Naples and the Roman decumans are five minutes away. Spaccanapoli, San Gregorio Armeno, the Concert house, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale are all close at hand.
From Piazza Municipio you can easily move to Pozzuoli, Baia and all other districts by public transport. Also the archaeological sites of Pompei and Ercolano are no more than half an hour distance by train.
All rooms with bathrooms en-suite are elegant, spacious and well furnished with pieces produced by Neapolitan artisans. Some drawings of the well-known artist Riccardo D´Alisi decorate the walls.
Visitors looking for very good accommodation in Naples will find in Fiorentini one of the most comfortable b&b centrally located in the heart of Naples and run by very professional people.
