Accommodation options for long stays in Naples

To know where to stay in Naples, you must ask yourself what kind of traveller you are. Perhaps you’re a digital nomad settling in this city thanks to the Italian digital nomad visa, a student with a scholarship to study here, or a tourist seeking slow travel.

For every type of person and need, we recommend one kind of accommodation or another. Below, you’ll find every option for staying in Naples.

Coliving or shared house rooms

This type of residence suits digital nomads who want to join a community, share coworking space, attend workshops and have a room to rest in the same place.

Although Naples doesn’t offer many official coliving spaces, it also offers rooms for rent in shared houses as a similar option.

  • Base Napoli: Located in the Posillipo neighbourhood, a few minutes’ walk from Mergellina beach. You can stay in a private room with Wi-Fi and TV from $96.00 (€85.00) per day; long-stay rates upon request.

Hotels for long stays

A hotel is a more comfortable option for staying in Naples, since the price includes cleaning service and most are located near main attractions.

It’s ideal for travellers who aren’t in Naples to work or study and want to enjoy every moment, eat at restaurants and have a nearby place to rest. Here’s an example:

  • Albergo Viola: This two-star hotel is in the Central Station area. You can book a deluxe room for $1,815 (€1,597) per month.

Furnished apartments

If you want a place to stay in Naples with more privacy, we recommend an apartment. It’ll feel like your own home, as the whole space is yours to decorate, though most come fully furnished.

You can find lower prices than hotels on platforms like inmobiliarie.it:

  • Apartment via Francesco Girardi: This one-bedroom studio apartment is in central Naples for $761 (€670).

Bunk bed in shared room

This is perhaps the cheapest and simplest option to rent, without a contract as with apartments. The downside is you won’t have a private space, but for groups of students or backpackers, it’s a great choice. On Airbnb, you can find several options:

  • Coremì Naples 14: A bunk bed in a shared room with four others costs $745 (€656) per month.
