I spent 4 nights at Bianca's house and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a real Neapolitan experience in this beautiful, exotic, vibrant city.
I arrived at Bianca's house soaked on an unusually wet night. However, my spirits were soon lifted when she warmly welcomed me into her tastefully decorated home and after showing me my room, offered me some delicious homemade pizza.
My room was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom adjacent. Breakfast is continental with good bread and Bianca's homemade jams. (She also to baked delicious cakes which was as a treat.)
Bianca is discreet lady but also ready to chat and help out if needed. I had some nice conversations with her. She's a born n' bred Neapolitan and has some delightful anecdotes to tell about life in this legendary city. She gave me some really useful tips on how to get around and pointed out some hidden gems to visit that were off the beaten track. She's speaks good English but spoke to me in Italian after I told her that I wanted practice.
On the morning I left I wanted to visit the Botanical Gardens before catching my train. On certain days visits have to be pre booked. This day was one of them. Bianca kindly called up booked me in and it was well worth the visit.
I've visited Naples several times as it's a city that fascinates me. I'm thrilled to have now found a good place to stay for my return visits.
