About Scampia
Where to stay in Scampia
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Scampia is a residential quarter, not a hotel one. Built in the far north of Naples as a modern addition to the city, it holds housing, churches and local streets rather than lodgings, so most visitors take a room closer to the centre and travel out to it. Piscinola lies south.
Secondigliano and Miano sit on that same side, and the churches of Santissimo Salvatore and Resurrezione del Signore account for most of what the quarter puts on a map.
