Ancient residence in Palazzo Spinelli di Laurino

In the heart of Naples, within the prestigious Palazzo Spinelli di Laurino, on the first piano nobile, lies this exclusive apartment—an aristocratic residence steeped in centuries of history, with roots tracing back to the 15th century. Located along the Decumano Maggiore, the palace is the only one in Naples boasting an elliptical inner courtyard, adorned with statues and stuccoes of remarkable beauty. It was restored and decorated by commission of Trojano Spinelli around the mid-18th century. Beyond the elliptical courtyard, to the left, one accesses the Sanfelice-style double-ramp staircase, designed with a dual-perspective layout that forms a circular flow leading to the landing where the main entrance of the residence is found. Spanning over 400 square meters, this exclusive home is distinguished by a succession of grand and spacious rooms, featuring high frescoed ceilings and vintage wallpapers that breathe the time and traditions of Naples. Every corner of this elegant dwelling holds the echoes of a majestic past. The property includes a double entrance—one leading to a small independent apartment overlooking Via Nilo, and the other to a private study area, accessible also via a vestibule. A series of interconnected salons and rooms flow seamlessly into the sleeping quarters, consisting of two large bedrooms and a service room, from which one can enjoy a picturesque view over Naples’ historic center, including Via Nilo and Via dei Tribunali. The palace, once chosen as the set for several Neapolitan films starring, among others, Marcello Mastroianni and Burt Lancaster, is undoubtedly an excellent choice for those seeking a prestigious headquarters for companies or associations, as well as for families dreaming of living immersed in the atmosphere of Naples’ historic core. A refined residence, where the grandeur of the past merges with the present in a timeless embrace.
