Monteoliveto Bed and Breakfast

Cute B&B within city centre in Naples. Gigi is an amazing host. She doesn't speak English but managed to communicate very well. Breakfasts are great, pastries, coffee and a buffet and Gigi makes some great morning cakes.

Don't be put off by the street appearance. Monteolivetto B&B is a great base from which to experience Napoli. The old town is right before you. Station is 20 minute walk. Metro is 5 minutes away. We walked to and explored all 3 castles in a day. Great choice of places to eat and drink.

This B&B is difficult to find, as the B&B is a floor within a large building with only a small bronze plaque outside, so ensure you have directions/map before arriving. Nearest metro station is Universita. Staff were very friendly and spoke very good English, wifi is free and it is in a good, safe location.

We loved our stay! Gigi and Angela were amazing hosts and we felt as if we were staying in their house rather than a B&B. Breakfast was amazing with pastries, meats, cheeses, and freshly made cappuccino or espresso. The wifi was strong and free, and the location for us was perfect with access to either the Toledo or Universita metro stations, each being about a 10 minute walk away. If you arrive with baggage use Universita as it has fewer steps than Toledo. Don't be fooled by the neighborhood; yes there is graffiti everywhere in Naples but we never felt unsafe, and the surrounding area was always well lit. There is also a self-service laundromat about 5-10 minutes away that we found useful. It is called Lav@sciuga and located on Via Sedile di Porto 54. This saved us as Naples was in the middle of our 2+ week stay in Italy. In short, we loved our stay here and will stay again next time we're in Napoli.
