Thanks Gianni for your welcome and your hospitality. Gianni is a very friendly, welcoming, generous and helpful host and carried our heavy bags up to his place for us. We stayed three nights and loved the old historic centre where we were staying. Gianni is passionate about Naples and was able to direct us to lovely local eateries and shopping areas - the street of Christmas shops was a highlight - as well as city historic sights. We had no trouble with touts, pickpockets or muggers and found the lovely cafe/bars friendly, and amazingly inexpensive, and the old mediaeval centre with its charming narrow streets is, as you'd expect, noisy and crowded so be careful of Italian drivers!. Granted the B and B is 88 steps up, but even we managed it every day, sometimes twice and we are not very fit pensioners! We visited Pompeii, Hercalaneum and took a drive along the Amalfi coast. Don't miss the Carravagio in the church opposite Gianni's. Venice is definitely a tourist destination, we felt that in Naples we were sampling the real Italy and enjoyed it.
