  The apartment located in a Napolitan palace, still inhabited by the family who built it centuries ago, is full of charm with large and comfortable rooms furnished with antiques. The terrace is really huge and with the nice weather, it is really a plus to take breakfast or meals. Our two children enjoyed it a lot to play. The owners are really charming and full of attentions and can give you valuable advice for your visits. According to your dates of stay, you may even have the privelege to attend a concert in the magnificent Dance Hall of the Palace. The situation in the animated area of La Sanita will enable you to experience the true liveliness of Naples. It is also very close to the Archeological Museum, the catacombs or the Duomo. There is a pizzeria just in front the palace, where you can get inexpensive but excellent pizzas, so you will probably not use very much the kitchen and plenty of small shops to get everything you need and also cake shops (one close to the palace and also Primavera on via dei Vergini) where you can indulge in babas or other napolitan specialties. Lastly, if you have a car, you can park in the court of the Palace, and it is easy to go to the Vesuvio, Pompei, Herculanum or Caserta from the city center. Don't hesitate to come to Naples. You'll love the city and the region. Our stay in this apartment was really a privileged experience we'll all remember. A favorite for us.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

  Owner response: Yannick, thank you so much for your review. It was a privilege have you there. Hope to see you again soon. Gianfrancesco

  Oh, where to start. This four room, two bedroom apartment w/private elevator and very private and expansive second floor terrace is perfect for four people. This historic location, is in the center of a vibrant neighborhood away from the usual tourist locations, which allows immediate immersion into the "real" Italian culture. Paola, the owner of this 30 room "palace" is a supporter of the arts and sponsors music, poetry readings, and dance in the ballroom. As house guests, we were invited to attend a poetry reading of Pablo Neruda w/accompanying music. Paola introduced us to several neighborhood artists, dancers and architects, some of whom invited us to visit their studios. There is no need for an auto, many historic buildings and churches are within walking distance, and the metro is nearby to access all areas of Naples. While there are so many historic places to visit, the apartment is within easy walking distance to the Museum which houses the best artifacts of Pompeii. Local restaurants serve authentic Italian food, and just steps away from the apartment is a pizzeria with excellent food. Our party of three spent one month in Italy: Napoli, Pompeii, Florence and Rome, in that order. Although our month-long Italian visit was much better than expected, Napoli stole our hearts because of our experience with the owners, Paola, and her son Francisco. They were so attendant to our needs that we felt like family. We have visited Italy several times, but by far, this experience was outstanding. The two bedrooms are large and well appointed with period furniture: the lounge and dining area, likewise. Beautiful art hangs on walls, and if you're fortunate enough to be invited to tour some of the other room in the "Palace", there is art, antiques and the sense of stepping back in time.The bathroom and kitchen are small, but accommodated our needs. Anyhow, who wants to cook when you're in Italy! Whenever we visit Italy again (which we will), this apartment and location in Napoli is first on our list.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+.

  What a lively and vibrate neighborhood! We reminisce fondly on our enchanted visit to Napoli as we were so warmly welcomed in Gian Francesco and his mother, Paula's "palazzo". We felt we had voyaged into times past, staying in this noble apartment, walls adorned with works of art, and each object, a museum piece. The bedding was comfortable and we had a view of an ancient magnolia tree from our window. Our hostesse had thoughtfully left artbooks of Napoli at our bedside table. We rarely used the kitchen as the Bar across the street served the best coffee and hot chocolate we had ever tasted and the pastries from Primavera were scrumptuous. Dining out was just more economic and an adventure to be had by all. The neighbourhood was alive with families on Vespas, markets with just about everything from socks to arugula to handmade soap etc. and family boutiques spilled out onto the street. We were treated like old friends, and daily, Paula helped us plan our itineraries, and we were never disappointed! Napoli is an undiscovered jewel and this lovely family helped us to discover it's treasures without feeling like tourists. We will forever be grateful to our Napolian hosts... We highly recommend staying in this"palace apartment".

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Le charme inégalable d'un appartement dans un palais napolitain encore habité par la famille qui l'a construit : des pièces spacieuses, avec des meubles anciens, une très grande terrasse extérieure joliment fleurie. L'accueil est chaleureux et plein d'attentions. Vous pourrez avoir des conseils de visite si vous le souhaitez. Selon la programmation, vous aurez peut-être la chance d'assister comme nous à un concert dans la magnifique salle de bal du palais. La situation en plein coeur du quartier de la Sanita, vous permettra de découvrir et goûter la vie animée de Naples, à proximité des principaux monuments, notamment le musée archéologique,. Un coup de coeur.

  Owner response: Merci beaucoup
