| Immersed in the heart of Naples' historic centre lies the Palazzo Turchini Hotel, a shining symbol of Parthenopean pietas and of the intense musical life of seventeenth and eighteenth-century Naples. The property enjoys a superb position near the Fountain of Neptune in the centrally located via Medina, within metres of the city-harbour, the underground and several of the city's most important historic and artistic attractions. Set between Palazzo Genzano and the Incoronatella Church (better known as Santa Maria della Pietą dei Turchini), the building once formed part of the Royal Conservatory of Pietą dei Turchini, providing shelter for abandoned children and quickly becoming a veritable mine of musicians and singers who made Naples a place of extraordinary cultural ferment. Originally built in 1590 and continuously renovated throughout the years, these days the hotel offers its guests a warm and elegant atmosphere decorated in precious marbles and delightful traditional furniture. It features a splendid roof garden with terrific views, meeting facilities and a charming cafč. |
