If you can possibly stay at the Magic House, do so. We loved the upstairs terrace and had every breakfast and most dinners there admiring the gorgeous view that is even better than in the photos. We got many of our dinners from Panificio Pensabene, right around the corner, and enjoyed them on the terrace. Sometimes we ate at the fabulous Norman restaurant next door. The apartment is so convenient to the main sites. You can see the palace and cathedral and other historic churches from the terrace, and they are a 5-minute walk away. We could walk to the elegant Massimo Theatre for a concert or to the archeological museum. The apartment is so spacious and well supplied. It even has a dryer. We were so delighted with the Magic House and truly sorry to leave.
