A late 18th-century apartment in Naples' UNESCO-listed centro storico, Artemisia Domus is positioned between Piazza del Gesù and Spaccanapoli, with the Cloister of Santa Chiara visible from the windows.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in the Decumani, the residence looks toward Santa Chiara's majolica cloister, minutes from artisan workshops and Sansevero Chapel.
The rooms
Rooms named after painter Artemisia Gentileschi's heroines pair antique terracotta and original shutters with distressed gold walls and velvet.
The spa
At the table
A brass-trimmed bar pours regional amari and wine, and classic films project above the lounge fireplace.
Peering down from a former Bourbon brothel into the paradisal orange gardens of Santa Chiara cloister, Artemisia Domus’s eight rooms... are named after the female protagonists of Neapolitan baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi.
How it began
The 18th-century noble palazzo once served as a Bourbon-era brothel before being restored as a boutique residence.
