The Property — B&B delle Palme
This is a straightforward three-star B&B in a residential neighbourhood near Piazza Garibaldi, not a boutique charmer. The lobby feels like a clean, functional waiting room with a reception desk, a couple of chairs, and a noticeboard for transport timetables. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a safe, no-fuss base close to the central station and don't need frills beyond a decent breakfast and air conditioning.
Chronicles of Naples
Naples was founded by Greek colonists in the 8th century BC as Neapolis, 'new city', and later became a favoured resort for Roman emperors. Its historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a dense tangle of narrow streets, baroque churches and medieval palazzi, shaped by centuries of Spanish, French and Bourbon rule. Volcanic eruptions from nearby Vesuvius, like the one that buried Pompeii in AD 79, have defined the landscape and local building materials. Today Naples is Italy’s third-largest city, known for its chaotic energy, world-class street food and a gritty authenticity that polarises visitors.
Best Time to Visit
Full Naples guide →Best months
May, June and September offer warm sunny weather (22–28°C) with lower humidity than July and August, and still manageable crowd levels at major sites.
Peak / festival surge
August is the busiest month because of Italian national holidays and European summer vacations; hotel prices can double, and Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast are packed. Ferragosto (15 August) triggers citywide closures and massive beach crowds.
Budget shoulder season
October and April are the best shoulder months: mild temperatures (16–22°C), cheaper rooms, and significantly fewer tourists in the historic centre and museums.
Weather & packing
Naples in July is hot and humid, with afternoon heat often exceeding 32°C and sudden heavy thunderstorms possible. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing plus a compact rain jacket, and bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated.

- Piazza del Plebiscito is hosting the 'Napoli Arte Contemporanea' open-air exhibition until 30 August, featuring free installations and evening projections.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B delle Palme, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the internal courtyard. These upper floors get more light and are further from street-level noise on Vico Vetriera, a narrow lane that can echo with moped and pedestrian traffic until late evening.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor — they sit just above the street and may pick up noise from the entrance door and recycling bins. Also steer clear of any room overlooking Vico Vetriera itself, as the alley channels sound and can be lively late into the night.
Best views
The best view is from a top-floor courtyard-facing room — you look over the internal courtyard and see the backs of old buildings with laundry lines and potted plants, a slice of real Naples. A front-facing room on an upper floor might give a sliver of the street, but mostly you'll see the opposite wall.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are the quietest — stairs and a small lift serve this typical Neapolitan palazzo, so upper levels get less passing foot traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
Vico Vetriera is a narrow, one-way street near the historic centre. Expect moped traffic, locals chatting on doorsteps, and bin collection early morning (around 6–7am). The building's lift motor can hum on the landing outside rooms adjacent to the shaft.
Insider tips
1. Check-in is usually self-service via a key box — confirm the code and door entry details by email a day before arrival, as the owner may not be onsite. 2. If arriving by car, avoid driving into Vico Vetriera — park in the Piazza Garibaldi or Corso Meridionale garage and walk 5–10 minutes; the lane is too narrow for comfortable manoeuvring.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs in the neighbourhood for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Napoli Centrale or the airport, which charge poor rates and high fees.
Contactless is widely accepted in supermarkets, pharmacies, and chain shops; many smaller bars, bakeries, and market stalls still prefer cash, especially for small purchases under €10.
Tipping is not expected in Italy. Round up the bill at a trattoria or leave a euro or two for good service; taxi drivers and hotel staff do not expect tips, though a euro for luggage help is appreciated.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A caffè (espresso) at the counter in a bar: €1.00–€1.20.
A takeaway pizza al taglio (by the slice) or a panini from a rosticceria: €4–€6.
A basic pasta or pizza main in a neighbourhood trattoria: €8–€12.
Vico Vetriera sits north of Spaccanapoli; walk two minutes to Piazza Dante or Via dei Tribunali for fried pizza, arancini, and sfogliatella stalls.
Decò, Conad City, and MD Discount are the main budget supermarkets within a five-minute walk.
Head to Via Toledo or the Galleria Umberto I for mid-range chains like OVS and H&M; the nearby Mercato di Porta Nolana (15-minute walk) has cheap second-hand stalls and unbranded basics.
A single metro/bus ticket is €1.20 (90 minutes); the best deal is the daily ticket Artecard for €3.50 (unlimited Anm transport). From Napoli Capodichino airport, take the Alibus (€5, 20 minutes) or the cheaper local bus 151 (€1.20, 40 minutes) to Garibaldi station, then a short metro ride.
1) Eat your espresso and pastries standing at the bar counter — sitting down at a table doubles the price. 2) Buy water and snacks at a Conad rather than a tourist kiosk. 3) Walk — the historic centre is compact and nearly all major sights are within a 20-minute walk from Vico Vetriera.

Find train tickets →Napoli Piazza Garibaldi (central station, 10 mins from airport by bus) → Piazza Amedeo (nearest metro to hotel)
💡 From Piazza Amedeo, the hotel is a 5-minute walk downhill. This line runs overground through tunnels — sit on the left for views. Buy return tickets at the machine; the app 'Trenitalia' works but can be glitchy.
Naples Capodichino Airport → B&B La Bouganville
💡 FreeNow works better than Uber in Naples. Set your pickup at the airport's 'Arrivi' gate number — the driver will call you. Price is fixed through the app, but expect a 5-minute wait for car assignment.
Naples Capodichino Airport → B&B La Bouganville (Via Giuseppe Martucci, 7)
💡 Fix the price before getting in. Avoid drivers offering a ride inside the arrivals hall — walk to the official taxi rank outside. For La Bouganville, make sure they know it's in the Chiaia district, not Mergellina.
Naples Capodichino Airport → Piazza Municipio (nearest stop to hotel)
💡 Buy tickets at the airport tabacchi or online. Validate on board. From Piazza Municipio, it's a 10-minute walk to the hotel. Avoid this route with large suitcases — the walk up Via Chiaia is cobbled.

Top Attractions in Naples
💡 Go between 10am and noon, before the tour groups pack it. Grab a sfogliatella at Pintauro on Via Toledo.
💡 Bring a picnic — there’s a small kiosk but it’s erratic. Sunset is the best time, but arrive by 4pm to claim a bench on the western side.
💡 Book online a day ahead — walk-ups often sell out by noon. Wear trainers; the tunnels are damp and uneven.
💡 Head straight to the Secret Cabinet on the mezzanine floor — a collection of erotic Roman art that’s often overlooked by casual visitors.
💡 Bring your own water — the café up there charges triple. Also check if the adjacent Certosa di San Martino is open (combined ticket €10).
