About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Literary House

Located in the heart of the historic center - a pedestrian area, three minutes away from the stunning beaches and the main square - , The Literary House is the perfect place for those who want to follow the trails left behind by famous authors, such as Torquato Tasso, Keats, Ibsen, Shelley and many others, in an evocative yet modern setting, luxuriously furnished and complete with every comfort.

The front door opens onto a spacious living room, which features a kitchen with induction cooker, coffee machine, SmartTV, free Wi-Fi, and a wide, sunny terrace overlooking the historic alleys, the typical citrus grove and an unforgettable sea view.

The two bedrooms - one of which with private bathroom and design day bed, the other one featured by a tailor-made wooden bookcase - have both a terrace, too, with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius; both have king size beds, open wardrobe and SmartTV.

Moreover, there are another bathroom and a utility room with washer/dryer.
