A narrow street leads you from the dynamic city boulevard, Via Carbonara, to 'A casa di Nonna Catarina.' The apartment is a hidden gem. As soon as you open the green gate you come to a beautiful courtyard. The building is from the 17th century and built according to traditional Neapolitan architecture. From the enchanting courtyard, stairs lead to the apartment which is an oasis of calm in the urban chaos that Naples can sometimes be. The only sound you hear is the ringing of the church bells, every evening, for just a few minutes. Think of this as an invitation to enter the church. Its sober facade encases one of the most beautiful baroque interiors in the city! 'A casa die Nonna Catarina' is fully equipped and very centrally located. The central station is a 15-minute walk away and the bustling streets of Centro Storico can be reached within 10 minutes. I was honored to call this apartment my home for a week and left it with a heavy heart. But not forever, because I'll be back soon!
