Map & location
Naples City, Naples, Italy
Staying at Decumani Hotel de Charme puts you in the very heart of Naples’ Centro Storico, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where church domes, tucked‑away piazzas and tiny artisan workshops jostle for space. Step outside and you’re instantly in the thick of Neapolitan life – scooters buzzing by, laundry flapping overhead and the aroma of espresso and pizza on almost every corner.
The nearest metro station is just a short walk away, making it easy to reach the seafront Lungomare, Mergellina and the main train station for day trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast. Iconic sights such as Cappella Sansevero and Teatro San Carlo are also within walking distance, so you can sightsee at your own pace without relying on taxis.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 20–30 minutes by taxi or private transfer, depending on traffic.
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Decumani Hotel de Charme does not feature a swimming pool or direct beach access – this is very much a city‑centre, heritage‑building hotel.
However, the seafront Lungomare promenade and Castel dell’Ovo area are about 2.5km away and easily reached by metro, bus or taxi if you’d like a stroll by the Bay of Naples or a seafood lunch with views across to Mount Vesuvius.

• Lounge and bar areas housed in the historic palace halls
• Lift access to most floors (note that layouts in historic buildings may include some internal steps)
• Complimentary Wi‑Fi
There’s no on‑site spa or gym, but the central location means you’re perfectly placed for walking tours, food tastings, church and museum visits or a day trip down the coast.
