Partenope Hostel

About Us

Our lovely building is imbued with history and tradition, having weathered numerous epochs and adventures. While it once served as a grocery store, its origins extend far beyond that. During the era of pirates, it presumably provided refuge for ancient sailors sailing the ocean. Speculation suggests that buried treasure may lie beneath its very foundations, adding to the charm and mystery surrounding this structure.


Today, after a meticulous restoration that preserved its ancient historical features, the building has been reborn. Blending the charm of the past with the comfort of the present, it offers a modern yet traditional-rich environment.

To maintain its connection with the sea, the hostel has been dedicated to the birth of the city of Naples. According to Greek mythology, Partenope was one of the sirens who captivated sailors with their melodious singing. It is said that Partenope, in love with the legendary Ulysses, attempted in vain to win his heart. Disappointed and unable to fulfill her love, she threw herself into the sea and perished. Her lifeless body was carried by the currents to the shore, where she transformed into the city of Naples, thus giving rise to its mythological birth. In ancient times, Naples was known as Partenope, and its inhabitants were referred to as Partenopeans. The decoration of the Partenope Hostel evokes the essence of Naples and its most beautiful and suggestive places through the works of contemporary Neapolitan painters.

Hospitality is our passion so we will make your stay memorable!
