The Property — Il Campanile
Il Campanile is a straightforward three-star hotel near Piazza Garibaldi, the city's main transport hub. The lobby is functional and clean, with a small reception desk and a modest seating area; the vibe is no-nonsense and practical. It suits travellers who want a decent, affordable base for exploring Naples and need quick access to trains, buses, and the airport shuttle. The USP is its location right by the main station, not elegance or atmosphere.
Chronicles of Naples
Naples was founded by Greek settlers as Neapolis in the 8th century BC, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It thrived under Roman rule, then became a key European capital under the Bourbon monarchy in the 18th century, which left a legacy of grand palaces and royal sites. The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a dense grid of narrow lanes lined with medieval churches, Baroque chapels, and street food stalls. Contemporary Naples is gritty, noisy, and fiercely local — famous for its pizza, its chaos, and its warmth.
Best Time to Visit
Full Naples guide →Best months
May and September: warm, sunny days (low 20s°C) with lighter tourist crowds than summer, and most attractions open without major queues.
Peak / festival surge
August and late December. August is hot, humid, and jammed with Italian holidaymakers; hotel prices jump 30-50% and many small shops close for Ferragosto. December brings Christmas lights and nativity-scene markets, but also heavy domestic travel.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: cooler temperatures (15–20°C), fewer tourists, and hotel rates 20–30% below peak. Good for walking the historic centre without the crush.
Weather & packing
Naples can suddenly switch from hot sun to a sharp thunderstorm, especially in spring and autumn. Pack a compact umbrella and a light waterproof jacket regardless of the forecast.
Live City Briefing — Naples
- The Napoli Metro Line 1 extension to Capodichino Airport is now running, cutting travel time from the centre to the terminal to about 20 minutes (from Piazza Garibaldi, take Line 2 to Cavour then change).
- The Piazza Garibaldi area around the hotel continues to see construction on the new high-speed rail station link; some footpaths are fenced off, but access to trains remains open.
- A new pedestrianised zone on Via Toledo, already popular, has been expanded further south past Piazza Municipio, easing walking between the historic centre and the seafront.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Il Campanile, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor, away from the lift and staircase. These are generally quieter and have less foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms next to the lift shaft, service rooms, or those overlooking the street if the hotel is on a busy road. Ground-floor rooms can also be noisier.
Best views

🔊 Noise notes
In older buildings, soundproofing may be minimal. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, and avoid rooms near common areas like the breakfast room or bar.

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).
