Communications about the booking were quick and clear. Then, upon arrival, Simone made us feel welcome with a caffe and tips about the city. He also went through great lengths to make sure the in-room wifi was working on our devices, not a strong point of mine!! (It did, perfectly.) The room was spacious, airy, very comfortable and quiet--what a joy to awake in the morning in a super-comfortable bed to the sounds of church bells and the stray seagull, and then peek over my shoulder to see Vesuvius, as well as the atmospheric rooftops and bell towers of the old town. (One could even see a bit of the same from the bathroom window while showering!!) We found no problem with water pressure in the lovely and unique designer-type private bath, and as of two months ago, the building boasts a private elevator all the way up, a happy surprise. (The vast yet cozy terrace full of plants would have made the ascent worth it in any case.) Though we have spent a good deal of time in Naples, these 6 days will remain etched in my mind and heart as among the best: the room's location was superb, letting us visit areas we knew less, and what a joy to be surrounded by the life of the center of Naples. Thanks to Google maps and Simone's advice, it was easy to find, a stone's throw from Naples Underground, nowadays on every visitor's itinerary. I adore staying in a mainly pedestrian zone, and I always felt totally safe. I also felt somewhat smug whenever I saw foreign tourists on the street, knowing they had to return to a nondescript hotel while we returned to our (temporary) home. I don't use the word 'home' lightly: it truly felt like that partly because its combination of style and coziness nourished both body and soul, but above all, due to the warmth and openness of the whole kind, cultured and all-around wonderful Florio family--parents Adelaide and Andrea, and other sons Stefano and Marco. Daidy and Andrea shared much about Naples, its history and especially life, and truly made us feel like friends; in addition we we lucky enough to sample some of the superb cooking of son Stefano, a young chef. I truly hope and expect to return. Dori and Gary Persinotti, October 2014
