Half way to Heaven. We had a fabulous time at the apartment in Corso Vittorio Emanuele. The location is ideal for exploring the city.The beautiful faded block perches on a ridge commanding a fine view across the Bay of Naples to Sorrento in the west to the majestic Mount Vesuvius in the East.
The neighbourhood is well served by a good selection of shops for food,wine and a strong expresso. For transport it has three funicular,two metro stations and the glorious C16 bus.These will take you to the high end shops of Chiaia,the atmospheric fish market of Monte Santo or the wide tree lined avenues around Via Alessandro Scarlatti.
The beauty of staying here is that you rarely bump into another tourist and the local shop keepers are happy to see you.
The view from the terrace at the apartment is probably only rivalled by Castel Sant Elmo just behind and up the hill from the apartment.
Corso Vittorio Emanuele is not a country Lane by any means but all the windows are double glazed and you have no traffic for some distance in front of the terrace.
The interior is furnished to a good standard with enough vintage items to give it character and a lovely wooden floor to pad around on.No IKEA identity kit employed here!
