=============================================
Deep down in Naples and its contadictions, La Controra is a monastery transformed into a flashpackers hostel.
Better than a Stargate: La Controra with its garden is a place where you can relax yet right in the middle of the bustling town around you.
La Controra's recently renewed rooms are decorated by art sculptures placed in the floor tiles featuring sea shells, Neapolitan coffee pots, garlic and chilli peppers, “ex-voto” and red coral horns (ethnic Neapolitan esoterica and good luck charms!).
Our lounge bar is used for contemporary art exhibitions and multimedia events. You would hardly find any from the staff singing Neapolitan melodies to entertain you: our guests make the difference while chillin' in our garden and on hammocks.
We are in the centre of the city in a safe area halfway up the Vomero Hill, very close to a Metro Station and within fair walking distance from the historical centre further downhill, and from the most important sights of the city such as the Sant'Elmo Castle, the Royal Palace, Spaccanapoli, and the Modern Art Museum Madre, and even from the bus terminal for day trips to Capri and Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.
