This is easily one of the most uniquely great places we have stayed at in our many travels. A palazzo from 1720 surrounded with eclectic modern art in a perfect location for Naples. Add in the wonderful friendliness and caring nature of Massimiliano and it all adds to a perfect stay.
Large interior spaces. Stone floors. Ancient tiles. High ceilings. Cool art. A stereo. (I don’t remember if there is a tv - we certainly didn’t watch it if there was.). No WiFi in building because of the massive stone walls (a good thing).
Huge bed on second floor space. Beautiful bathroom.
Numerous places to sit. The space doubles as an art gallery at some times, it appears. So in essence you are staying in a gallery, too.
Massimiliano also runs a small art shop on Via Duomo which we visited purely by accident walking to the Duomo.
Highly recommended are places in neighborhood. The wonderful Wine shop nearby - Vini e olii. The fantastic pizzeria Da Attilo cannot be missed - try the carnevale star pizza. There is a great cheese shop a few shops past Da Attilo that Signore Attilo took me to when I asked where to buy cheese!
A busy and very fun outside fish restaurant before Da Attilo on the right named Pescharria Azzura (with its own fresh fish market) is also highly recommended. Get there a few minutes before it opens or expect to wait (and waiting is worth it).
I will not talk about the standard sites. It is the people of Naples, over all, who
make it one of if not the best cities in the world. A stay at Massimiliano’s in Naples - magic.
Highest recommendation.
