“San Francesco Al Monte struck me as a place of genuine beauty, perched high above Naples in a converted monastery. The views, especially from the rooftop pool and restaurant, are worth the trip alone. I was particularly impressed by the hotel's commitment to its history, art, and locally-sourced food- a very special place.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about San Francesco Al Monte Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
San Francesco Al Monte is housed in a fascinating former convent, and many guests appreciate the unique historical details and art throughout the hotel, especially on the third floor. The hotel boasts amazing views of Naples from various points, including the pool area on the 7th floor and the restaurant terrace on the 4th, where guests can enjoy breakfast overlooking the city. Rooms are generally spacious, with comfortable beds, reliable WiFi and well-appointed bathrooms; though a few guests have noted that some rooms show signs of wear. Its location, a bit above the city, provides a relaxing separation from the bustle, while still offering convenient access to the center via the Funicolare.

The staff was helpful! Rita in reservations really helped. Salvatore and Valerio at the front desk provided peace of mind. The breakfast on the 4th floor terrace is lovely. Yummy food and front row views of Mt. Vesuvius are available.
There was no access to drinking water unless I paid for it. The minibar had small bottles that cost €3. The bar offered slightly larger bottles for €4. I bought my own at the supermarket. The pool opened late and closed early.

Nice Stay Above the City

amazing viewsrooftop bargreat steakexcellent dinner
I found the views from the top of the hill amazing. I liked the rooftop bar and its views a lot. The pool was a plus for chilling during the hot day. I also had an excellent dinner at the restaurant (the steak was great!).
The hotel common areas could use some freshening, in my opinion.
