As part of a two week visit to Italy, I spent almost four days in Bella Napoli with Annamaria and her wonderfully charming family. If you're content to trust me, you can skip reading the rest. You will be very happy with this choice. Overall, it was fantastic and I highly recommend a stay with Annamarie. Now, if you want to know the details, let me tell you why it was an excellent stay: First, the room was exactly as advertised. It was very clean, very quiet, and comfortable. The bed was a little firm (not soft) which I really like; the linens were fresh, and there was an extra blanket--which I used, because after living in Hawaii for 17 years I get cold very easily. Plus, the heater worked like a champ. Good storage with closets and a bureau. There is no safe, but there is no need for one; the house and your room are quite secure. The decor was pleasant with interesting art works throughout the room and the common living room. Overall, the room and bath were essentially perfect. The private bathroom was perfectly functional and there were tons of clean towels, soaps, and other hygienic items. Being at the top of the house, there was good shower pressure and plenty of hot water, also important considerations. In the common room, there was bottled water available and a small refrigerator if you feel the need to store something. Next, and importantly, this was the quintessential "room with a view." It was phenomenal. A close-up of the walls and ramparts of Castel Sant'Elmo with sweeping views of the Bay of Naples below. Incomparable. Finally, with respect to the room, it's very reasonably priced for what you get. The second big reason this was a great stay was that the house is really perfectly located. Really. It's away from the crowds and all the craziness that we love about Naples, but you can get to all the street life you want in 10 minutes. Situated in Vomero, which is one of the nicer and safer neighborhoods in Naples, you can take the Funicolare or the Metropolitana to wherever you want to be within minutes. Literally, the funicolare is around the corner and the Piazza Vanvitelli stop is 10 minutes or less by foot. In addition, Vomero is a very pleasant place to "fare un' giro" or take a stroll around the neighborhood. Lots of shops and restaurants. So, in sum, the location is great. The next reason this was a great stay was because of Annamaria's amazing (stupfacente!) breakfasts. She loves to bake and does it with true passion. It shows in every small detail of the large breakfast they put together each morning. Everything was fresh and delicious. I truly could not even come close to eating everything she put out. So, I just did my best to sample everything and then go back to try the things I liked best again! She does make some light...
