My stay at La stanza del Castello was an absolute dream. Annamaria and Nicola welcomed me into their Airbnb and immediately made me feel safe and secure and like part of the family. Piazza Vanvitelli is a charming section of the city of Naples, full of Italian culture, shopping, music in the streets, puppet shows, children playing and friends sipping expresso and enjoying life. This was my first visit to Naples. I arrived by myself, was exhausted from traveling and felt a bit nervous about exploring the city alone. They brought me delicious fresh homemade Neapolitan pastries, expresso and juice. (Annamarie’s Sfogliatelle(Riccia) is the best in the city!!) Nikola assured me I had nothing to worry about exploring the city by myself and told me how to get to the Historic City Center. When I still looked terrified, Nicola showed me around their Piazza, pointing out the Metro, Funicolare and the best place to get the original Napoli Margherita pizza. Annamaria also helped arrange for a taxi to pick me up to meet my tour group to Pompeii. They were so helpful and warm and friendly, it absolutely made all the difference in my travels to Naples. Accommodations include your own private terrace with a breathtaking view of the city and Bay of Naples. (And is right next door to Castel Sant `Elmo!-A must see attraction) I have stayed in some Airbnbs where you are staying in someone else’s room and you do not have enough privacy. Not the case here. You have the entire second floor to yourself including living room, large bedroom, refrigerator and modern bathroom. It was such a pleasure waking up to the aroma of the pastries baking in the kitchen, the smell wafting into the living room as I looked out over the big picture window with a view of the city, sea and Mount Vesuvius. The atmosphere in this delightful living space is very peaceful and serene, largely due to the host family. Their home is full of culture, family fun and good times. (Annamaria, Nicola and Jessica, Laurie and I miss you already!!) Thank you so much for teaching me about the Napoli culture and for being such gracious hosts. Annamarie is definitely a SUPERHOST! I highly recommend their Airbnb and will be coming back to visit soon!
