We enjoyed our time at Angolo di Paradiso and found it the perfect base to explore Naples and the region. It's in the heart of a thriving area, yet feels like an oasis thanks to the surrounding gardens which isolate the noise of the hustle and bustle of Rione -where the apartment is- and of Naples.
It offered the chance to recharge the batteries ready for another busy day of museums, galleries, metros, funiculars, eating, drinking and and just walking around taking in the vibe of the city and people watching.
The metro, which is nearby, runs about every ten minutes or so. It's quite a young system (parts of the network are still being built) consequently it's somewhat oversubscribed at peak periods. We found it best to visit one of the cafes next to Rione Alto station and enjoy a leisurely coffee and pastry, allowing the commuter rush to ease before getting on.
Rosella is a great host, attentive and helpful. Her tips are well worth following. Le Nonnerie restaurant was one such tip; just a few metres up from the Metro entrance, we enjoyed some wonderful pasta there, made in the accompanying shop next door by Gaetano who was charming and welcoming.
All in all, 5* for apartment and host and we hope to return one day to enjoy the delights of an extraordinary city.
