Deep down in Naples, La Controra is a historical building now transformed into a hostel, a place to relax while watching the bustling town around you. Built as a hunting lodge in the XVIIth century, La Controra looks like a grand Spanish green patio, 600 meter square garden grass where guests can enjoy Naples, its unique arty set up, its night life. La Controra voted Top Ten Hostel worldwide July 2006 by Hostelz.com costumers comments. We are right in the centre of the city in a safe area going up to Vomero Hill, in front of the Metro Station, within walking distance from the historical centre, bus terminal for day trips to Capri and Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, and the most important sights of the city such as the Sant'Elmo Castle, Royal Palace, Spaccanapoli, and the Modern Art Museum Madre
