Descriptions Hotel Decumani Hotel de Charme

Hotels own description:

We are glad to have you as our guest in the Palace of Cardinal Sisto Riario Sforza, the last Bishop of the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples, in the heart of the Decumans, just close to the majolica Cloister of Santa Chiara Church, the Veiled Christ and the Via dei Pastori. The Palace, placed in 15 S. Giovanni Maggiore Pignatelli Street, used to be the residence of the “God’s Servant” Sisto Riario Sforza for more than 30 years, from 1845 to his death in 1877.
He was the last Bishop of “Two Sicilies Kingdom” and the first in Italy Kingdom.

In historian scientists’ opinion, he seemed to be “a servant of God working for the salvation of souls”, too much “a priest” to be even “a politician”.
Through his 33 years office, 3 Vesuvius eruptions and 4 pestilences happened: he took care himself of the victims to help directly his country’s people. He sold out all his riches and got indebted with the banker Rotschild for 12.000 (ducati) but the banker refused the repayment because of the deep admiration he fell for the Cardinal.

In honour of this great personality we restaured his apartment, thinking about all the requirements of a charming and comfortable hotel. The common areas have a beautiful floor with old majolica pieces. The masterpiece of the structure is the wonderful XVIII century hall with ancient mirrors and golden stuccos, the best place to relax listening to classic music, having a tea or reading a book. The hall is suitable even for meetings and cultural national and international events.

Most of the rooms have period furnitures and some fine architectural pieces, such as high ceilings with hand-painted wood rafters, groin vaults or coffer ceiling.
