About this place Why Not

Why Not is tucked into a narrow lane off the Spanish Quarter — the densely packed historic neighbourhood of impossibly tall buildings and laundry-strung vicoli that climbs the Vomero hill above Piazza del Plebiscito. The bar is small, atmospheric and very Neapolitan: rough plaster walls, exposed stone, candles in bottles and a bartender who knows everyone by name. It has been consistently welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community for well over a decade without advertising itself specifically as a gay bar, which is part of its appeal — it is a neighbourhood place that happens to have a gay-friendly character, embedded in the fabric of one of Europe's most fascinatingly chaotic urban environments. Friday and Saturday nights draw a heavier LGBTQ+ crowd; other nights are more mixed. Good for late drinks after dinner in the Spanish Quarter.

It’s a very central located bed & breakfast, but in a silent side street, which is very nice. What I find a pity is that for the amount a night costs, there is no breakfast. This would be a reason for me to not come back unfortunately.

We were guests of this property and we had a great time, it was clean and central and the host was very good at giving us directions where to eat. The location is incredibly central, just a stone's throw from the seafront and just a stone's throw from the luxury shopping streets. We will definitely be back.

My son and I stayed at the B&B for 16 nights and it was absolutely delightful. Lucia, the owner, made sure we were always comfortable. The room was cleaned/tidied daily. The B&B's location, in the Chiaia neighborhood, is fantastic: you can reach the center of Naples quickly by public transportation or taxi. I highly recommend this place and will probably be my first choice (hopefully in a more spacious room) when I return next year.

There are no negatives to say; everything was very clean and exactly as described. Excellent location. Lucia is an exceptional person and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back.

Highly recommend this cosy place. The air-conditioning is super helpful for summer. Lucia is kind and can provide kind tips for day trips.
