COOKING CLASSES
Every saturday, soak in Neapolitan flavours with Chef Valerio's Neapolitan cooking classes: learn it, do it, eat it!
=====================================================
Deep down in Naples and its contadictions, La Controra is a monastery transformed into a flashpackers hostel.
It is not a hotel, nor a small apartment and on this site you wouldn't find strange pictures of castles! Keep out the crazy town and chill out in the spacious garden among palms and citruses. La Controra Flashpackers Hostel: the only luxury hostel in town. At hostel prices.
La Controra's recently renewed rooms are decorated by art sculptures placed in the floor tiles featuring sea shells, Neapolitan coffee pots and red coral horns (ethnic Neapolitan esoterica and good luck charms!).
Our lounge bar is opened every evening and you would hardly find any from the staff singing Neapolitan melodies to entertain you: our guests make the difference while chillin' in our garden.
We are in the centre of the city in a safe area halfway up the Vomero Hill, very close to a Metro Station and within fair walking distance from the historical centre further downhill, and from the most important sights of the city such as the Sant'Elmo Castle, the Royal Palace, Spaccanapoli, and the Modern Art Museum Madre, and even from the bus terminal for day trips to Capri and Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.

Buy a Metronapoli ticket (at the yellow kiosks as well as tabbaconists' (T) shops: the 3 euro day pass is a good deal).
La Controra is close to the Salvator Rosa metro stop on Line 1: if you come from Napoli Centrale train station, take metro Line 2 until Cavour station, then change to Line 1, Piscinola direction. Once in Salvator Rosa station, take escalators up and follow exit signs to Santa Croce. When you emerge, go down hill keeping on the left hand.
Piazzetta Trinità alla Cesarea is on the left: it is not the first alley you find (which is Vico San Mandato), it is the second alley, basically, a little stairway with a crumbling red-painted church at the top. Walk toward it - we are tucked just around the corner to the left.
