Il cortile d'ingresso di Palazzo Giovagnoni, il parco privato del Follaky Secret Garden a Napoli Chiaia

Boutique B&B · Chiaia · Naples

A door onto the Naples few people know.

A Boutique B&B with two independent suites, inside the private park of Palazzo Giovagnoni, in the heart of Chiaia. Chiaia metro station is about 200 metres away and Piazza del Plebiscito is within walking distance: close enough to the city to live it on foot, set apart enough to discover a rhythm you would not imagine beyond the gate.

Our idea of hospitality

We travel because we want to enter places,
not simply visit them.

We travel a great deal. And over time we have understood that the places we truly remember are not always the ones everyone can see. They are the ones where, every so often, someone allowed us to enter.

Follaky Secret Garden was born from that idea: to open to travellers a place that is normally private, in the heart of Chiaia, and to share a part of that stately, residential, silent Naples that so often stays outside the more obvious itineraries. Our family coat of arms, now the symbol of Follaky, tells the same bond with the city: not as ornament, but as continuity and belonging.

From here you can step out in two directions and meet two different Naples. Via Chiaia 149F takes you towards the elegant city, the Plebiscito, the boutiques and the sea; Vico Monteroduni 16 brings you closer to the livelier Naples of Via Toledo, the Spanish Quarters and the historic centre. Two entrances, two souls of the same city — and Follaky at the point where they meet.

Two suites, two ways to live the same story

Suite Chiaia is the more intimate of the two, with its large window onto the neighbouring gardens. Suite Toledo is wider and brighter, with a small private patio. Both have a queen bed 200×160 and a private bathroom. If you are travelling as three or four, they can be booked together as Double Suites — Exclusive Use.

The moment you step inside the building the atmosphere changes completely: it feels like a small, private retreat, quiet and secluded. You feel like guests rather than customers.
Alessia M.Tripadvisor · June 2026
A genuinely surprising place: a hidden corner, surrounded by historic buildings and greenery. Then you take a lift and you are in the chic centre of Naples.
Paolo e MarinaTripadvisor · May 2026
Once through the gate the chaos vanishes and you find yourself in a park with very tall trees, and a silence you would never expect in Naples.
Valentina G.Tripadvisor · March 2026
Recommended for women travelling alone too, because it is extremely reassuring.
Elisabetta M.Tripadvisor · July 2026
Perfectly located between chic Chiaia and the lively Spanish quarter. Fabio went above and beyond to make sure every day we were looked after.
Natalie L.Google · July 2026
The location is extraordinary, right in the centre. Fabio's kindness and availability made all the difference: it really was like being at home.

Why here

Naples outside. Another atmosphere just inside.

Chiaia, Plebiscito, Toledo and the sea on foot

spa

The quiet of a private setting

The residential park and the greenery around it create a surprising break from the streets of the centre. You are not outside Naples: you are inside Naples, but in a part of the city that normally stays more reserved.

Guests, not numbers at a reception desk

Check-in is personal. Before you arrive we help you choose the simplest route; during your stay we remain available for restaurants, transport, itineraries and practical needs. The idea is to make you feel looked after without intruding on your time.

Frequently asked questions

What is useful to know before choosing Follaky

Where exactly is Follaky Secret Garden?
We are inside Palazzo Giovagnoni, in the private park of via Chiaia 149F, Naples. From there a lift reserved for residents of the park (€0.20) takes you up into the second courtyard. By taxi or car you come in through vico Monteroduni 16 instead, where there is space to stop and unload unhurried. The two entrances are sixty-two metres apart: all the routes are here.
How many people can you host?
Each suite hosts 2 people with a queen-size bed and a private bathroom. By booking Double Suites — Exclusive Use — both suites together — you reach 4 guests with exclusive use of all the spaces.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 3 pm to 8 pm and check-out by 10:00. We only ask you to let us know your arrival time in advance. Early check-in, late check-in and late check-out are extra services, on request and subject to confirmation.
How much is a night?
On average around €145 per night for two people, including the Follaky Breakfast. It is not a fixed price list: the rate changes with the season, the length of your stay and availability. The exact figure for your dates is in the calendar above, before you confirm.
Are there security cameras?
Yes. The shared corridor is under video surveillance, with clearly signposted security systems, for the protection of guests and hosts.
Is breakfast included?
Yes. The Follaky Breakfast is included and is based on a selection of quality products, chosen with care and linked to local flavours and Mediterranean tradition. The offering may vary according to the season, availability and what is prepared that day. Allergies and intolerances must be communicated in advance: we will check what we can manage safely. Any specific requests beyond the breakfast planned are subject to availability, quotation, confirmation and advance payment.
Can we arrive by car? Is there a restricted traffic zone?
Yes, but if you are arriving by car we recommend Vico Monteroduni 16, where you can enter the first courtyard for a brief stop to unload your luggage. Parking inside the park is not permitted. On the Getting here page you will find the recommended garages, information on the ZTL and the most convenient parking options.
Do you accept pets? Is smoking allowed?
We cannot host pets and smoking indoors is not allowed. Access is reserved to the people named on the booking, and this applies to the whole property: suites, corridor, patio and park. We cannot receive visitors, not even briefly and not even outdoors. The park is a private residential setting, inhabited by people, and it is the reason it is quiet here.
How do we book and how do we contact you?
From this site, at any hour: it is the most direct way and the terms are always the best we can offer. You can check dates just above, and confirmation is immediate. If you would rather speak to someone first, write or call +39 375 777 0567, WhatsApp included: the two of us answer personally.

The door is here

Two entrances. Two souls of the same Naples.

Come in from Via Chiaia 149F when you are on foot or by metro and want to find yourself directly in the elegant heart of Chiaia. Choose Vico Monteroduni 16 when you arrive by taxi, by car or with luggage. Both lead to the same place: Follaky Secret Garden.
