The Moiariello
The Moiariello is one of the most suggestive and least contaminated hills in Naples. An ancient village that seems suspended in time, where you move through silent narrow streets and breathtaking panoramic views. The path is far from the city chaos and is dominated by a surreal quiet, an intimate, almost literary experience.
What to see
It is a photographic journey made of beauty. It is here that the true soul of the city is found among the breathtaking views overlooking the gulf, the hanging gardens, and the historic villas. The Moiariello is in the heart of the city but far from the postcard Naples of crowded alleys.
Where to eat and drink
The Moiariello is an ancient village where souvenir shops and click-bait tourist menus are missing, but with a suggestive 15-20 minute walk, entirely downhill through historic steps, you reach the Rione Sanità. Leaving the hill, you arrive in the middle of the city chaos with a wide choice of historic places and pizzerias to eat true Neapolitan cuisine.
Where to stay
The Materdei district in the heart of the historic center of Naples is well connected to all strategic points for visiting the city but quiet and tucked away from the chaos.
Good to know before you go
Naples is a timeless city. You must let yourself be guided by the beauty of the places. Do not plan too many itineraries, but walk in search of authentic experiences with your camera or smartphone. Naples is many stories hidden in every glimpse and behind every corner, you just have to learn how to tell them.
