We stayed with Vani for four nights in March, it was our base to explore Napoli and the surroundings (beautiful Amalfi coast and Procida island). And what a great place to come home to every night! The location is perfect for exploring the city, just 5 mins off the tourist buzz, but in the middle of the local life of Spagnioli. There are great food places around (one of the best, affordable and unpretentious seafood restaurants in town is 2 mins away) and the harbour is just a 15 min walk. We wouldn't have wanted to stay in any other part of town, even though my friend is a wheelchair user and the welcoming atmosphere of the house and area were worth rolling over the cobblestones to get home every day.
The house is a charming typical old building of Napoli, it has a beautiful courtyard and an elevator and there is a meditation studio next door spreading calm energies. Our room was cozy and nice.
Vani was an amazing host, preparing everything overnight for our last minute request. We enjoyed her herbal infusions and body scrubs, she even had home made jams for breakfast. If you want a feel of Napoli life and a homy, welcoming atmosphere - this is the place to stay!
