Calenda Suite

The room was quiet with the windows shut, and had a roomy bathroom and air conditioning. The place is right in a lively area full of shops, bars, and restaurants, with the pizzeria where Julia Roberts ate in “Eat, Pray Love” just 20 meters away. Walking took about 15 minutes to the old center and main station, and 20 minutes to the ferry terminal. It was a 15-minute drive to the airport in the early morning. We stayed three nights, and Filippo was friendly and useful with tips for getting around Naples and Capri, plus restaurant suggestions that lived up to our expectations. He arranged drop-off and pick-up in Positano and a ride to the airport for our return flight. The accommodation and Filippo’s help made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend staying here.

Our host was really friendly and helpful, and the complimentary coffee and pastry at a nearby cafe was a nice touch. The rooms were decent and clean. The area has an authentic feel, with plenty of pizzerias and a metro nearby. For walking back at night, I’d suggest taking the route by Duomo metro, about five minutes away, since some ways to the guest house can feel a bit sketchy. The guest house is in an old building that isn’t easy to find, and its odd layout makes the space feel cramped. There isn’t much ventilation in the rooms, and the bathroom could use maintenance. At night we heard people shouting in the street and thumping music from the residents above.

Filipo made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The accommodation is in the city center, a short walk from the main tourist sights and train station. A great choice for anyone visiting Naples for the first time.

Filippo picked us up at the airport and shared lots of information for visiting Naples and the surrounding area. He checked every day to see if we needed anything in the room. It was spacious, modern, comfortable, and very clean. The location is handy for the historic center, subway stations, a pizzeria, gelato, and clothing shops. Everything was perfect, especially for the price.
