Located in the historic Sanità district, Casa D’Anna ai Cristallini is a refined hotel set in a baroque mansion that dates back to the early 1500s. Originally a family home, it has been carefully transformed into a boutique haven where history and modern comfort meet. The property features just five bedrooms, each named after a Neapolitan island: Ischia, Capri, Procida, Nisida and Palmarola. These rooms are adorned with carefully selected antiques, Pierre Frey fabrics, Vietri tiles and Farrow & Ball wallpapers, while the bathrooms feature marble finishes and art deco accents. We love the Great Hall, with its six-meter-high ceilings showcasing original chestnut beams and 18th-century decorations, which serves as a communal space where you can unwind, peruse a vast collection of art and history books and soak in the sophisticated atmosphere.

This boutique hotel, once the private studio of renowned artist Annibale Oste, has been transformed into an exclusive retreat that seamlessly combines the authenticity of an artist’s workshop with luxurious accommodations. The hotel features nine bespoke rooms and suites, each uniquely decorated with pieces crafted by Annibale and Vincenzo Oste. We were immediately drawn to its one-of-a-kind interior design, where every room is a canvas showcasing handcrafted furnishings, original artwork and bespoke decor that reflects the owners’ passion for creativity. We also love that you can pop in at the on-site boutique, showcasing a curated selection of bespoke jewellery and handcrafted items, where you can browse while chatting with the artist.
