Terrazza dei Principi

Just the perfect place.

The owner was kind and helpful, and the apartment is in a great spot for getting around on your own. It’s central but quiet, in an old, typically Neapolitan building, and the apartment itself has been renovated. The bedroom is fairly spacious, though the bathroom is small and has no shelves. We were surprised that the radiators were still off in December, but luckily there was an extra blanket.

The owner was really kind and helpful, and breakfast at the partner bar was excellent. This B&B is in a lovely historic building in central Naples, just a short distance from the Duomo and Spaccanapoli. The rooms are simple but clean. There’s also a kitchenette by the entrance with a coffee maker and kettle if you need it. One thing to know, it’s on the third floor and there’s no elevator.

We had a very positive stay and would come back. The building is part of the historic center, with local residents, so it gives you a real experience of a large, complex, and wealthy city. If you’re after a sugar-coated version of Naples, this may not be for you, but anyone hoping for an authentic visit should feel welcome and appreciated. The location is excellent for walking and using public transport to explore the city or travel farther out. The property is new and well kept. Our room was clean, with a comfortable bed, lovely lighting, and an en-suite bathroom. The owner welcomed us warmly and shared useful information about sights, restaurants, and pizzerias. We knew it was on the third floor, which wasn’t a problem for us. The owner had contacted us a few days beforehand and even offered to help with our luggage if needed. I’m surprised by the negative reviews, which I assume aren’t true. From every angle, our experience was extremely positive. Go Naples!
