My wife and I spent the last two weeks of February in Naples and had the good fortune to rent Maria’s home in the North part of the city. We frequently rent vacation properties both in North America and Europe and have been lucky most times. This time however, we hit the jackpot.
Maria’s home is not just any rental property. It is a lovely home in a nice and quiet neighbourhood that easily accommodates up to 3 couples. It has all the comforts of home, including great beds, good water pressure, air conditioning that is both efficient and quiet, a good size living room and kitchen in an open concept that is welcoming. My wife, who is an accomplished cook, tells me that the kitchen was perhaps the best equipped kitchen she has cooked in a vacation home. I, on the other hand was pleasantly surprised to find martini glasses and a shaker!!!
For all those who are sun worshippers, the beach, one side of which is part of a very well run state park, is very close by. Although it is a walk-able distance it is best to use a car to transport the chairs and umbrellas, all of which are available and in great shape at the house.
There are many interesting places to visit close by such as the Mercato with its restaurants, bars and boutiques, the must-see Seed to Table food market, and the Ritz, which is a great place to celebrate special events.
Last but not least we had the guidance of both Maria and the property manager Emmanuel. They went to great lengths to make our stay a pleasure and our experience a memorable one.
I would not hesitate to recommend this property and would definitely try to book it again next time we are in Naples.
