We were extremely lucky to have had the chance to stay at Diana and Maria’s amazing apartment.

The photos do not do the place justice, and the views from the terrace are absolutely fantastic.

The apartment is a short walk away from Cavour Metro (where there is also a brilliant outdoor market open seven days a week – tip: get your fruit and vegetables here!), and there is a taxi rank literally across the road. Next door are a bar and a really good pizzeria that does takeaways, so you can buy a pizza and eat it on the apartment terrace with a great view of Vesuvius - perfect!

The Botanical Gardens (Orto Botanico di Napoli ) is a short walk and on the same side of the street (a must visit by the way).

A twenty four hour Carrefour supermarket and Banco di Napoli ATM are also a short walk away on the other side of the road, as is the best café we went to in Naples.

The apartment has an elevator, which is really great when checking in and out (and for dashing upstairs to get your hot pizza served!). The stairs are optional, but a good workout if you fancy the exercise (we did most of the time).

On the first floor of the apartment is a beauty salon and spa which provides all kinds of treatments. I was very much in need of a massage so was very glad I could get one in the same building as the one I was staying in.

The apartment kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cook and has a small freezer built into the fridge in case you want to buy some ice cream or want some ice.

The bedrooms are really good with a laptop friendly workspace in both rooms. The beds are extremely comfortable and all the rooms are very light and airy. The Mediterranean design is very smart and makes you feel instantly at home and relaxed.

I would definitely recommend you stay here, the location is absolutely perfect and everything you need is right on your doorstep – having access to the terrace gives you the chance to sunbathe and relax in your own outdoor space too – bellissimo!
