What a wonderful place! This expansive apartment in an historic house offers plenty of room to spread out and feel at home. The place is spotlessly clean with sweet Roberta and Carlo going out of their way to make certain you have all you need. You can expect two ensuite bedrooms plus an extra-large bedroom with nearby bathroom. One of the smaller bedrooms has an upstairs with yet another bed. We were only two couples, so the house was a bit large for us, but it would be the perfect place for a larger family or reunion where all could enjoy each others company in communal spaces yet have private space as well. It is located in a most beautiful, safe area a short drive from downtown (if you’re ok with city traffic driving).
Tourist recommendations: Don’t miss the Spanish Quarter by day. The ambiance of the architecture, shops, and residents give a great for the soul of Naples. In addition to walking around on our own, we took the Viator guided tour which was excellent. Our guide filled us in on so many pieces of community information that we would never have gotten on our own. BTW: We never felt unsafe in this area. We also walked up to the National Archeological Museum of Naples which we recommend highly preferably after you’ve been to Pompeii and Herculanium. So many of the artifacts and artwork from those ruins are preserved at the museum and amazing to see. If you have the time, be sure not to miss Castellammare del Stabia! The ruins there of Villa San Marco and Villa Arianna (about 1/2 mile apart), though so much smaller than Pompeii and Herculanium, are spectacular, free to see, and free of crowds (we were the only ones there).
If, like me, you need to be gluten-free, going to the restaurant Mama Eats (13 minute drive) is a must. The owner is a Celiac and gluten free so you can eat anything on the menu. Surely, you’ll pig out and enjoy.
Skipping the nerve-wracking traffic into the city for one day was a treat for us. We simply walked down to Marechiare to enjoy the day, the quaint town, and the seaside. Then, returning home to Roberta and Carlos’ house was once again, the perfect end to our day.
Do we recommend this Airbnb rental absolutely! Would we return? In a heartbeat.
