We are still thinking how incredibly lucky we were for having a chance to stay at Diego's place. By opening the door to their world Diego and Gemma gave our trip to Napoli a completely different perspective far beyond our expectation. It gave us that feeling that we are not just tourists. Diego drove us up the hill to his house through the narrow and steep streets which was adventure of itself and shared his magnificent veiw to the city, Vesuvius, the sea, and of course stories of films, literature, history and gardening. As my mum put it 'each angle of the view from the house is worth for painting!'. And if you wake up early you will get magnificent sunrise over the city.
The house definately has its character and soul. Its location is a perfect escape from the busy croud but at the same time within a close walking distance to the museums and churches. Time flies very fast in Napoli, but up in Diego's house it kind of stops and you can only wish to have booked few more days to enjoy life happening.
