Di affreschi e volte

We had a deeply disappointing experience during our family holiday. While the property advertises air-conditioning, the remotes were withheld because the host deemed the spring weather not warm enough although in his message, he says "AC can be switched on at 22C in May", and it was 21C that day. We did find a way to turn it on without the remote, so we did. The next morning, the host unlocked the front door without permission and entered our private room, where a family member was still asleep. He criticized her for wearing “too warm” clothing and turned off the AC, all without consent. This was an invasion of privacy, trust, and completely unacceptable behavior. When we raised our concerns, the host was defensive and dismissive, suggesting we leave early if we couldn’t follow his rules. We chose to leave. This experience left us feeling unsafe and disrespected. I would strongly advise against booking this property. There are many other options in the area that offer better hospitality and respect for guests’ privacy. We are also disappointed that Booking.com does not more thoroughly vet hosts to prevent such incidents.

Gabriel was an amazing host. I have to say I have never actually met any of the hosts from any other privately run accommodation so it was very refreshing to actually meet the person that owned the apartment. Gabriel gave me some good advice and even organised a taxi for me so I could get to the train station when it was time to leave. The location is fantastic as it feels like you are right in the heart of Naples and get to experience what life is like for the people living there. It is not a 'touristy' area which is exactly what I wanted. It was very safe, and I would stay there again. Unfortunately I was there at the end of September and it was a bit too hot for me. I could not use the air conditioner due to Government regulations. Apparently not allowed to turn on cooling and heating at certain times, so do check this before you book to make sure you are ok with not having cooling. Heating is not so bad as you can always put extra clothes on to stay warm. Harder to stay cool without a fan or air conditioner.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The host Gabriel was incredibly nice and friendly, always ready with great suggestions for places to visit and things to do in the area. The location was perfect, with easy access to all the local attractions. The apartment itself was lovely, well-maintained, and comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay.

Very good

Host was really helpful and accommodated with our requests. Room spacious and clean

Location was excellent, just near the centre of Quartieri Spagnioli. the building itself was really quirt for Napoli, we felt secure and comfortable. The only downside is, you have to be prepared to climb - a lot! However if you follow the instructions provided by host, you'll have no problems getting there. Host was really great and discreet. Overall it was great value for the money and would definitely recommend. Our room had only one window - on the balcony so it was bit dark. Also, I would recommend adding more superior bed and furniture because everything is so beautifully restored (the apartment was part of old monastery) it would elevate general value. Also, the balcony had plastic eave, which when the rein fell was leaking and it can get pretty nosy.

Amazing location! Walking distance to everywhere Beautiful room Very quiet and super comfy Would repeat 100% Nothing

The room was lovely: clean, nice and comfy, it had its private bathroom, towels, hairdryer, boiler in the room, free wifi, heatings and everything necessary for a perfect stay. The host was so kind, giving information helping with suggestions and answering all questions about Naples while providing excellent customer service for the best experience to discover the city. Excellent location with perfect position for moving freely by walking around the best districts in the very central area of town. Looking forward to coming back very soon! Nothing, everything was GREAT!

It’s an actual Palazzo, with frescos from hundreds of years ago, high ceilings and an enormous bathroom. It’s located on top of a hill, so you need to be in good shape, but it’s at the heart of Napoli -a real Neapolitan neighbourhood, full of soul and flavor. The instructions and communications were clear and quick, very friendly and helpful. Be aware it is atop a hill and on the second floor, with no elevators. It isn’t hard to climb up, but it’s not for people with mobility issues.

Position is very strategic, host was keen to provide all information requested. Room was okay, See below for the not so pleasant experience. Upon arrival, there was no way to have the AC remote. This is the first time in my life I run into this issue, ever. Owner claimed a vague reference to a regulation but failed to provide evidence. and since he has air conditioning listed in the facilities provided, I consider this a violation of the terms. Upon the last night, the remote appeared in the room with a WA note that he was not able to get a copy of the claimed regulation yet(I am still waiting). He also claimed they care about the environment (with my credit card, not his). We have a saying about this ("everybody is ..."), but Booking would censor it. Then he cited the fact they have to compete with others, but clearly this is not an ONG, so as the others do your homework and either factor electricity bill in the price, else remove the air conditioning from the services offered. Is that complicated?

THERE IS NO BREAKFAST IN AN ITALIAN 'BED AND BREAKFAST' YOUR SITE DID NOT MAKE THAT CLEAR THERE IS NO BREAKFAST IN AN ITALIAN 'BED AND BREAKFAST' YOUR SITE DID NOT MAKE THAT CLEAR

We really enjoyed staying at Di affreschi e volte. The host (Gabriele) was very accommodating and responsive to any questions that we had during our stay. The room is clean and comfortable, and in a great location (right in the heart of the characteristic Spanish Quarter, walking distance to the port and train station). Thank you for a great stay! Nothing!

Excellent location, welcoming host, big room and everything we needed! Thank you!

Location is right in the heart of the quartieri Spagnoli which is the best place to experience local life. Gabriele was very helpful and always there for us to answer our questions. The accommodation is clean and perfect for a few nights stay.

Gabriel was excellent! We loved the apartment and had a great stay!

This hotel left the most positive emotions in our minds and desire to return back again. It’s cozy, clean and comfortable with good location. Specials thanks to the owner Gabriele which was so friendly and showed us real hospitality. We’ll highly recommend it to our friends. Greetings from Levan and Soso from Georgia! -
