Deep down in beautiful Naples, La Controra is a historical building that has been transformed into a hostel, open to everybody, a place to relax while watching the bustling town around you.
La Controra offers high quality budget accommodations: from beds in mixed dorms with shared facilities, as well as family rooms or double rooms with toilet for those who prefer privacy in our informal hostel.
Built as a hunting lodge in the XVIIth century, La Controra has now been completely refurbished to look like a grand Spanish green patio, 600 meter square garden grass where guests can enjoy Naples, its unique arty set up, its night life.
A cool selection of re-used 50ies to 70ies furniture designs the interiors of common spaces: kitchen, living, bar and internet hall, located in the wing surrounding the court-garden.
Rooms are jewelled by art sculptures placed into the floor: seafoods, coffee machines, garlic and pepper, ex-voto, and red corns (Neapolitan ethnic for good luck!).
La Compieta lounge bar guests movies, ethnic dinners and can be used for exhibitions and multimedia meetings.
An emotional place just a few steps from the National Archaeological museum , 20 steps from "Salvator Rosa" Metro Line 1.
