About the hotel

OVO was born from a dream—to create a welcoming space where friends meet, and lives, languages, and smiles are shared. Inspired by Naples's vibrant culture, we envisioned a place where visitors could experience the city's wonders firsthand. Drawn to the high ceilings, spacious balconies overlooking ancient Greek wall excavations, and the lively square filled with music and greenery, we sought to capture the essence of Naples within our walls. Local artisans, passionate about preserving tradition, helped bring our vision to life. The same lanterns that illuminate Rua Catalana, the street of Neapolitan blacksmiths, grace our interiors, designed by the imaginative architect Riccardo Dalisi. Crafted by Ciro Pepe, these unique lanterns, along with a striking iron safety pin and other bespoke metalwork, add character throughout the house. Alessandro and Gennaro created the inviting kitchen and comfortable solid wood beds, ensuring guests enjoy both aspects of our 'bed and breakfast' experience. OVO celebrates Neapolitan craftsmanship with approximately one thousand hand-painted tiles, replicating the ancient designs found in historic cloisters and houses. The large canvas featuring Lele the elephant, a creation of architect Massimiliano Lombardi, adds a touch of whimsy to the space. Local artist Luca Davino, inspired by his travels, has adorned our walls with four dreamy watercolors capturing the spirit of Naples. Our passion for design extends to carefully chosen furnishings, including the iconic Maralunga sofa, Hay chairs, Nessino and Dalù lamps, and a vintage Neapolitan toilet, all complementing the two antique Tuscan chests. Every detail has been meticulously considered, reflecting the essence of our name, OVO (egg).
