Corso Vittorio Emanuele 328 80135 Naples Italy  The Hotel San Francesco Al Monte Naples is located in one of the most panoramic areas of Naples, within walking distance of the center.It is well connected to the whole city via cable cars and it is only 10 kilometers from the Capodichino Airport. Many of the city's major attractions are within two kilometers of the hotel, and the harbor is within walking distance. The Hotel San Francesco Al Monte Naples is very rich in history, founded as a convent in 1557, which has been carefully restored. The hotel offers its guests an intimate atmosphere and very importantly, a magnificent view of the Gulf of Naples. The history of this convent is long and fascinating. The Convent originated from a "poor monk" of the order Frati Minori Conventuali or Barbanti, Brother Agostino da Miglionico, who built a little cell deep inside the mountain, that was later transformed with the help of Fra Girolamo da S. Agata, into a comfortable little convent. The story of the Convent, that since it's foundation was a reference point for the Napolitan people, is strictly entwined with the historic, political, and religious events, which, throughout the centuries, have marked the history of Naples and of Italy. The Convent of Santa Lucia al Monte in time became a blinding beacon of spirituality, populated by religious people that preferred a contemplative life to an active one, and many of them, like San Giovan Giuseppe della Croce and Santa Maria Francesca, gained the fame of the Blessed and the Saints. Today the antique Convent has been restructured with full respect to the historic and artistic value of the structure, and has become the elegant and accommodating Hotel San Francesco al Monte.  The charm of the ambience remains intact, and every detail has been restored to it's old splendor
