(We actually stayed in Celesta's little paradise property rather than historical palace) Celesta and her mother Mena, are warm open people and it was wonderful staying slightly out of the city centre overlooking Vesuvius and the chaos of Naples beneath us. Their garden is gorgeous, and we helped ourselves to some fresh oranges and peas from the garden. Mena met us on our first day at the entrance to Little Paradise. She could not speak any English, but this made little difference. Our only criticism of the flat is that it was very dusty and the bathroom in particular hadn't had a good wipe down for some time. Apart from that the character of the place was charming, with Mena's artistic collection decorating the flat. We met Celesta on the second day, and she gave us some good suggestions of places to eat, have a drink and explore, not all of which we got around to unfortunately. We will have to come back to Naples for some more caffe, pizza and art exploration.
