The shared area of the Follaky Secret Garden

Guest Area

Everything clear before you even open your suitcase

Here you will find the information you genuinely need before and during your stay: check-in, the two entrances, Follaky Breakfast, extra services, rules, check-out and our Naples guides. One page to keep close at hand.

I

Before you arrive

Check-in is personal and takes place from 15:00 to 20:00. By the day before arrival, please give us a window of around 30 minutes; when you are 5–10 minutes away, a short message helps us welcome you without waiting.

What if I cannot let you know my arrival time?

With no indication from you we will expect you between 15:00 and 16:00. Outside that window we will not be on site, and the booking will be recorded as a no-show.

Can I arrive before 15:00 or after 20:00?

Often yes, on request and subject to availability. Early check-in and evening check-in, after 20:00, each carry a supplement of 20 €. Write to us on WhatsApp in good time and we will see how to arrange it.

Are pets allowed?

No, and we are sorry to say it. It is a decision about how the spaces work, not a dislike: with only two suites sharing one corridor, we cannot guarantee everyone the same calm.

Can you arrange transport to the airport or other destinations?

Yes. For departures from Follaky, we can check the availability of our private driver, who can enter the park and pick you up by car inside the property before taking you to the airport or another destination. The service is on request and subject to availability, quotation, confirmation and advance payment. For arrivals from the airport, please use the official taxis at the airport taxi rank. The Getting here page contains the full directions.

When you are almost here

Follaky has two entrances into the same private park. Use Vico Monteroduni 16 if you arrive by taxi, car or with luggage; use Via Chiaia 149F if you arrive on foot or by metro, via the private lift connecting the street with the park.

I am arriving by car: where do I park?

Come in from vico Monteroduni 16: in the courtyard you can unload the luggage without hurrying. You cannot, however, leave a car standing inside the park: write to us beforehand and we will point you to the nearest garages and to the best rate for the days you are staying.

How does the via Chiaia lift work?

At 149F there are two gates: the first on the street, usually open until late in the evening, the second onto a tunnel at the end of which stands the private lift. It costs 0.20 € and takes one single 20-cent coin: set one aside before you arrive — it is the most useful piece of advice on this page.

I arrive before check-in: can I leave my luggage?

Yes. Storage costs 10 € per suite, is paid to the porter and has to be requested in advance. Mind when the porter is there: Monday to Friday 8:00–13:15, Saturday 8:00–11:30, Sunday closed.

During your stay

The two suites are connected by a shared corridor reserved for guests, where you will find the Follaky Breakfast table and the Nespresso machine. Beyond that, your suite is designed to give you independence and quiet.

Are there cameras?

Yes, and we prefer to tell you here rather than let you find out later. The shared corridor is under video surveillance, with the required signage on site and the declaration on the booking platforms. It protects both us as hosts and you as guests, because the corridor contains breakfast and some shared passages.

What kind of heating and cooling is there?

Both suites have hot and cold air conditioning, that is, a heat pump: there are no radiators. We write it down because it is the kind of detail better known before booking than after arriving.

Can I have someone over who is not on the booking?

No, and on this we make no exceptions. Access is reserved to the people named on the booking, and it applies to the whole property: suite, corridor, patio and park. We cannot receive visitors even briefly, not even out in the open. The reason is simple: the park is a private residential setting, inhabited by people — and it is why there is silence here. Anyone not on the booking is shown out and, in serious cases, the stay is ended.

Do you need extra cleaning or a change of towels?

They can be asked for: extra cleaning 30 €, change of towels 10 €. Like every additional service, they need a little notice and are subject to availability.

Where do I find suggestions on what to do?

In our guides, which are open to everyone and ask nothing in return: eight itineraries with indicative times and costs, forty-nine places with the reason for going, thirty-five addresses where you can eat, and six neighbourhoods told one by one.

IV

The morning and the day you leave

The Follaky Breakfast is set out every morning in the shared corridor and can be taken into your suite; guests staying in Toledo may also enjoy it on their private patio. Check-out is by 10:00.

If you leave on a Sunday, exit from Vico Monteroduni 16. On Sundays the Via Chiaia gates are unattended and the lift should not be used to leave: you risk being stuck between one gate and the other. Vico Monteroduni is always open to exit.
What is breakfast like?

It changes, deliberately. The Follaky Breakfast with quality products follows the season, availability and what the host chooses to prepare. The idea is to start your day with a small journey through local and Mediterranean flavours, without promising a fixed hotel-style list.

I have allergies, intolerances or particular habits.

Tell us when you book, not on the morning itself. It holds for intolerances as much as for preferences. With a little notice we are glad to organise ourselves; at the last minute, often we cannot.

Can I check out later?

You can ask: late check-out costs 20 € and depends on the availability of the day, because between one guest and the next the suite has to be made ready. Ask in advance and we will tell you straight away whether it is possible.

Can I leave my luggage after check-out?

Yes, 10 € per suite, again only while the porter is there — and remembering that on Sundays there is no porter. If your train leaves in the evening, let us arrange it together the day before.

What is included, and what we can arrange in addition

For quiet, entrances and the use of shared spaces, please also read the House and park rules.

The booking includes the Follaky Breakfast with quality products, our curated and variable breakfast. It also includes everything the suite needs: linen, bathroom set, Wi-Fi, hot and cold air conditioning, the use of the private lift connecting Via Chiaia to the park and the building’s concierge service.

Follaky Secret Garden is an independent Boutique B&B: it does not have a continuously staffed reception, a restaurant or a guest kitchen, and daily cleaning is not included. We prefer to make clear from the outset what is always provided and what can be arranged as an extra.

Every service below is on request. None is automatic and none is included in the booking: they depend on the availability of the house and become certain only after we have confirmed them.

They need to be asked for in good time — better at the moment of booking, and in any case not on the day itself. Asked at the last minute, we cannot guarantee them. This is not rigidity: a service promised and then not kept is worse than a service that was never there.

  • Luggage storage Mon–Fri 8:00–13:15 · Sat 8:00–11:30 · unavailable Sun. €10 per suite; the service must be requested and confirmed in advance. 10 € / suite
  • Early check-in Before 15:00, if the suite is already ready. 20 € / suite
  • Evening check-in After 20:00. It is still the two of us who welcome you, however late. 20 €
  • Late check-out After 10:00. It depends on who is arriving that day. 20 €
  • Extra cleaning of the suite 30 €
  • Change of towels 10 €
  • Private driver departing from Follaky Airport, station, port or other destinations, with pick-up inside the park · subject to availability and quotation on quotation

The same holds for breakfast: if you have intolerances, allergies, preferences or habits, tell us when you book. We are glad to organise ourselves, but we have to know beforehand. For any request at all, write to us on WhatsApp.

When organising the stay is no longer the question, and choosing what to do is

Our guides remain available while you are out: itineraries, places, restaurants and neighbourhoods with maps and practical directions. For opening times, prices and external services that can change, always check the latest information before setting out.

Cannot find the answer you need? Message us on WhatsApp. Before arrival and during your stay, we remain available for practical information, transport, restaurants, itineraries and arranging extra services.
