The thing about Naples is that its unrelenting chaos should be draining, but it’s somehow energising. This is a city that almost visibly buzzes with a chorus of crowds, car horns and Vespa engines, suspended between 175 miles of Greek and Roman tunnels snaking below and the majestic, vaguely menacing backdrop of Mount Vesuvius above.
To walk the city’s labyrinthine streets and taste its intense, bright flavours is a soul-stirring experience. When it comes to a place to stay, you need somewhere that feels like a sanctuary but not disconnected from all that chaotic energy. Romeo Napoli is one such spot.
