B&B Alchimia Napoletana0

The B&B is situated very close to Naples Cruise Terminal - 10 minutes away with full cases..Our flight and transfer meant that we were very late arriving at the property. The sister of Giusseppe, the owner, was there to greet us and show us to our rooms, and explain breakfast to us, ALL PAST midnight. The property is situated in down town Naples, and NOT easily accessible with a child's pram, as there is no lift or easy stairway access. This was the only negative of our stay. We were warmly welcomed and provided for. If you were looking for a short stay near to the port, this is an ideal location.

We were allowed to leave our cases in situ, the morning of our departure, and we unfortunately upset the sister by using the wc, when we returned to leave the property, for which we apolagised.

We were 2 friends staying at Giuseppe and Claudia’s B&B in a family room. The room was very clean and spacious, perfectly located and the beds were comfortable😀. Shower was lovely with hot water all the time. Breakfast was very nice too and the hosts made an extra effort to get some vegan croissants! Claudia and Giuseppe’s hospitality and service were excellent, including tips for our stay.

Cannot say we didn’t like but two things to be mentioned; there is a bar nearby playing loud music in weekends, so for those with light sleep, this may be important (the hosts provided earplugs, which were useful for one of us but unnecessary for the other). Two, these is a flight of stairs to the B&B so may not suit everybody. However, Claudia insisted to carry our luggage all the way up:-)

Claudia and Guissepe were very friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of good suggestions of places to eat and see; Tandem was a particularly good dinner. The Italian breakfast of coffee and enormous croissant (from a selection) provided for breakfast each day were delicious, along with a variety of extras including cakes, bread, yoghurts and a good selection of fruit juices. We loved the beautiful bedside lamps and other art around the B&B created by Claudia. The air conditioning in the room worked very well, which was an absolute godsend. Strongly recommended :)

People with mobility issues might struggle with the steps required to reach the B&B.

Amazing place to stay! Giuseppe and Claudia went above and beyond making us feel at home. Not only the location is good (quite central, safe and close enough to walk to different touristic places), the place is really nice (nice decoration, spacious, comfortable and very clean). Breakfast is really good, fresh bread and a freshly baked pastry, plus coffee, tea, yoghurts, jam, milk... I'm vegan and I sent a message to the owners asking if there would be any options for me. Not only they had some vegan yoghurts and soy milk, they were thoughtful enough to have a vegan pastry for me every day, which really meant a lot and made our stay even better. Both owners were also available for any questions through out the day and made a point of suggesting touristic activities, places to eat, etc. Definitely recommend!

The only negative aspect of our stay was the noise coming from the bar down stairs, as our room was right above it. However, Naples is a noisy city and chances are you will hear noise almost anywhere you stay... The owners are aware of this problem and actively trying to solve it. I would repeat the stay anyway.

The location is perfect, it's near to most tourist attractions, restaurants and bars. The owners are nice, they help you with information on what to do in Napoli and always try to help with doubts.

The room is located next to the kitchen where the breakfast takes place. If you don't want to wake up early, you might struggle to sleep until later than breakfast time.

First we thought about staying somewhere in Chiaia because we heard it is a nice neighbourhood, however i don't regret the choice we made. The B&B is a 5-10 minute walk from the bus station taking you to the airport. It is in the historical centre of Napoli, in walking distance of all the major sights (maybe Capodimonte and Sant'elmo are a bit difficult for some people to reach by foot). We only used public transport once, and that was to see the Toledo metro station. There are plenty restaurants nearby, and a Carrefour open daily until 21:30. Claudia and Giuseppe are such wonderful hosts. They made our stay here lovely, waited for us although we arrived late at 22:30, they took their time to explain everything to us in detail about Napoli,timetables, sights etc. Nice light breakfast, each day with fresh croissants, coffee, yogurt, cereals, juices etc. Our room was cleaned everyday. All in all everything was just as we hoped and wanted it. I can't wait to come back to this beautiful city. Congratulations Claudia and Giuseppe for everything!

The property was secure, and our room was spacious and spotless. The owner Giuseppe was a good communicator before and during our visit. When we arrived, his sister Claudia showed us various sights on a map, and made suggestions for dining options. On our last day, she held our luggage after checkout until the time came for us to depart the city.

Giuseppe and Claudia are very kind, generous, friendly and warm.They helped us in everything, gave us great advices and made us feel like home... The location of the B&B is ideal, quiet, close to the port but also to the historical centre and all the sights of Napoli. Clean, quite and made with care and love.

Breakfast was ok but could possibly have more options (something salty for example, or some fruits as well).

The location is perfect for exploring the historic centre and the Spanish quarter - all the main attractions are a short walk away. The owners, Giuseppe and Claudia, are very friendly and helpful and they gave us very good advice on what to see and where to eat. After exploring the city it was a very nice place to come back to and relax. This has previously been the family home and it was very nice to stay somewhere which is well looked after and full of interesting art and decorative details.

The owners have been so helpful with our stay. We got recommendations for restaurants, must see places and trips as soon as we got there. So, primarily the service was the thing we liked the most-we felt very welcome and comfortable. Entire B&B is cleaned every day and the breakfast was really nice.
