Naples
Set in a monastery beside the Basilica Santa Maria della Sanità, this artful B&B is run by 'La Paranza', the inspiring young co-op behind the restoration of the Catacombe di San Gennaro. Complete with communal kitchen, lounge, colourful tiled terrace, and artwork by the prolific Riccardo Dalisi, the biggest of its six bright rooms comes with its own kitchenette.
Well-sealed windows block out the noisy traffic, and the junior suite costs the same as a standard – so feel free to request one.
