Napoli October 2015 : The apartment was spotlessly clean and seemed very new. The website had described it well. The location is perfect for a visit to Napoli, being in the centre of its main historical area. The apartment was fitted out imaginatively, felt light and airy and was very comfortable. The bathroom was a joy to use. The apartment benefitted from two balcony doors, with views onto the street. The one flight of stairs up to the apartment was straightforward. However, an oven or microwave to heat up those take-away pizzas, would have been useful.
Our arrival was delayed because of trouble on the railway outside Napoli, but our hosts had waited and made us very welcome. Both Diodoro and Paola had good suggestions and advice for us, and we followed up many of them as this was our first visit to their city.
In addition to visits to Herculaneum and Pompeii, we had not appreciated how much of Napoli’s history is accessible underground, via various locations all over the city. A fascinating holiday of discovery!
For those also interested in archaeological sites, we can recommend a day’s visit to Paestum to see its Greek temples and ruins. It is a large site and has a good museum, and easily reached by train from Garibaldi Station (just over an hour).
This is an apartment we can thoroughly recommend.
