On these occasions, and especially by night, some ghosts belonging to the family have appeared and seemed to enjoy very much to be in company. :-)

Our host was super helpful! The Suite was huge, and very well equipped. We were in the most interesting district of Naples and close to every stop on our to see list. Parking was on site and extremely secure.

Siamo stati ospiti nell'appartamento di Paola e Francesco e il nostro soggiorno è stato molto piacevole. Il Palazzo si trova in una posizione strategica per la visita della città e le sue principali attrazioni. Nei dintorni sono presenti locali dove mangiare cibo di eccellenza. La signora Paola ci ha accolto con piacere nella sua dimora, facendoci scoprire i suoi appartamenti e la storia della sua famiglia. Consigliamo il soggiorno nell'appartamento, con camere grandi, luminose e adatte per una famiglia!

A large comfortable apartment in a fascinating part of Naples. As stated in other reviews, the street outside is very noisy with people, scooters, a busy restaurant and traffic. We had good earplugs as we needed them! But we loved watching the street from the window. We had a really interesting tour of Paula's apartment next door with it's ball room and libraries. The apartment was a ten minute walk from the archeological museum and a 15-20 minute walk from the centro storico. There were fascinating churches, catacombs, stairways and streets right on the doorstep. We loved our 10 day stay here.
Francesco was excellent. So nice and accommodating. The only reason why not 5 star is the noise. The road noise at night is something else. Bring ear plugs and a noise machine.

Many things to love, but the noise!
The hosts were lovely, and communicated wonderfully with us before hand. Unfortunately the room was under renovation and was not ready fully when we arrived. Contractors had to return even the next day to finish the job. In addition, there were a few items that needed maintenance which we had to point out. These did all get fixed, but detracted from the stay and no compensation was offered. The beds were hard - perhaps these will get upgraded soon, and the kitchen utensils were in Very very used condition (no sharp knives, melted spatulas, etc). These things could all be easily improved though, and hopefully will be.The biggest trouble with the place is its lack of sound proofing. The street noise goes on all night long. It does not stop. Shutting the windows and turning on the AC does not block the noise at all. Earplugs don’t block the noise. Noise cancelling headphones don’t completely block the noise, especially not from the revving of engine late at night, or the loud partying in the streets that happened the entire 10 days we stayed. If you plan to be awake all night, then this is the place for you. The historical building has great potential for an amazing place. It was an easy walk to places of interest, it had safe parking for the car, it felt secure. We loved many of the amazing restaurants close by. And to repeat the first point, the hosts were kind and friendly. I hope upgrading projects continue, so that this location realizes its potential.

Great place, great people!!
Had a wonderful stay at Francesco and Paolas house!! The property is really magnificent and we had the pleasure of a tour of the rest of the giant building!
Francesco welcomed us and allowed us to not only check in early but also to check out really late in the afternoon.
The location is good, a 6 minute walk to the metro, shops and restaurants all on the doorstep!!
Overall I would 1000000% recommend and we will be back next year!!
