The Montesanto Terrace is a wonderful place. It is right in the heart of the action and you feel all Neapolitan life is just outside your door. Claudio is an exceptional host. He gave us such a warm welcome and took real trouble telling us about some of the most interesting places we might want to see. He was always available on WhatsApp and nothing was too much trouble. The wine was nice too!
We are a family of five, two adults and three children (15, 12 and 8) and the accommodation was absolutely perfect: spotlessly clean, with a fully functioning kitchen, well equipped bathroom with a disco light shower which the kids loved and enough room to relax. It's great to sit on the terrace (even if for us it was too cold to be outside for long) and just see life go by; the crowds heading out of the station or off the funicular, the crazy vespa driving and the great Pignasecca market just round the corner.
It's just a short walk from the apartment to the Metro to connect to Napoli Central station for Herculaneum and Pompeii and a stroll to the Archaeological Museum (as fantastic as everyone says it is) and more shops and restaurants. We loved the pizza place, Fiorenzano, just below the flat. It has the best dough balls and arancini and pizza and is really cheap - you'll find the menu in the apartment. There's a supermarket just under the station which is pretty good too. All in all a fantastic five days in Naples and we couldn't think of a better place than the Montesanto Terrace.
