Description Vesuvius Views: Napoli

With unrivalled views of Naples from the expansive private panoramic terrace, this penthouse's true highlight is its outdoor living area. Enjoy group dinners alongside views of Mount Vesuvius, the Sorrento Peninsula, Capri, and the city below. Once a scientific retreat for volcanologists in the early 1900s, the home has been restored to its original grandeur. And, while the style may not be to everyone's taste, there's a lot to like about it. The location is great, too. You'll be within reach of Piazza Vanvitelli and Castel Sant'Elmo, as well as lots of restaurants, places to see and things to do.

Home truths:
*The fourth bedroom consists of a sofa bed.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*Photo shoots or video recordings are only allowed with prior authorisation, requested at the time of booking.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
