Homestays in Campania, Italy

Siamo stati davvero felici di trascorrere una notte al Philip Royal B&B il 29 gennaio e se avessimo avuto la possibilità, avremmo volentieri prolungato il nostro soggiorno. La posizione di questo B&B, proprio di fronte alla stazione centrale di Napoli, è davvero comoda. Ci ha colpito particolarmente la cura con cui è gestito da personale altamente qualificato che dimostra una grande passione per il loro lavoro. La nostra camera, la numero 501, era semplicemente perfetta: spaziosa, impeccabilmente pulita e con una vista mozzafiato sul Vesuvio dal balcone. Inoltre, abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la colazione deliziosa che ci è stata servita direttamente in camera. Vorremmo ringraziare di cuore Francesco e Arianna, che si sono dimostrati estremamente gentili e sempre sorridenti. Senza dubbio, rappresentano il punto di forza di questo B&B. Se ci sarà l'opportunità, torneremo sicuramente. Grazie di cuore ragazzi!

It is about a 15-minute walk from the station. On the way from the station, there is a clean supermarket, laundry, and delicious pizza restaurant, and next door is a chain *****tore, so the location is great. The room was quite spacious, cleaned every day, and had a large terrace, so it was very comfortable. I visited not only Naples, but also Pompeii, Salerno → Amalfi → Potasino → Sorrento, but Amalfi and Potasino were too crowded, so I'm glad I did a day trip from Naples. There is no resident staff, so you need to go at the specified time to check in, but be careful that they don't open the door unless you call. I ended up not being able to contact the hotel in Matera, so the hotel canceled the day and I didn't get a refund, so I was a little worried that it would happen again.

It is an Italian house that is open opposite the train station and has 5 rooms. The location is very convenient, the price is relatively high, but the downstairs are black, relatively insecure. We live next door to black people. I am not a racist, but I still care. The landlord is very enthusiastic, maybe too enthusiastic, will open your door to clean up, although we clearly told him not to do so. I don't care, my wife is more afraid. In short, there are advantages and disadvantages. The man is alone, recommend living. Couple, forget it, take care of your lover's sense of security.

Super! The staff is friendly and the rooms are nice. Location is excellent!

May 13, 2023. In April, Judy and I visited Pompeii with another couple who are good friends and traveling companions, while visiting Italy, Switzerland and Sweden. Our group has considerable international travel experience and each of us really enjoyed Mirosa Bed and Breakfast; the people and accommodations were great. It was an excellent choice. Of note, during our stay issues arose with a booked tour and related timing and transportation issues. Owners Mirosa and husband Pasquale personally took control and, through considerable effort on their part, made it all work out. Amazing hospitality and warmth all around, including a wonderful visit with kind lady who served breakfast. Thanks! MD & Judy Dell’Osso Crockett, Texas USA

I have been to this B&B several times and every time I had a great time. Comfortable and welcoming rooms. Cleanliness is excellent. Furthermore, the B&B is located a stone's throw from the historic center. The girl at the reception is very friendly and speaks English very well, she can tell you which areas of Naples to visit and where to go for lunch and dinner. Highly recommended.

I’ll try to make this as constructive as possible, so I’ll start with the good. The property is located in a convenient location close to the Central Station, although the area around the station is a little dirty with some homeless people. When you get into the apartment, it’s clean and nicely decorated. The room was for 3 people and was pretty nice. Now for the downsides… When we arrived, the elevator was broken, so we had to suffer through carrying our luggage up 2 stories of stairs. Luckily, they apartment building was able to get the elevator fixed within a day or two of our arrival. Also, there were only sheets on the beds, no blankets. So that first night, we were cold. We later got blankets from housekeeping (housekeeping is only there for a few hours in the morning). There was no iron available, so if your clothes are wrinkled, you’re sh*t out of luck unless you brought your own. Communication was lacking. We ran out of toilet tissue and was told they would leave some at the front desk. They never did. We went 2 days without them restocking our toilet tissue. Luckily, we had wipes with us. They also never came to clean our room. The description for the room said “daily housekeeping” but I guess they just meant for the common areas. We were supposed to be provided with breakfast cards each day for the each of us (there were 3 of us in a room). We were only left one card one day. Never saw another card after that (this was brought up to the staff via WhatsApp and the cards still weren’t provided, just like the toilet tissue). Apparently, garbage gets collected around 1 in the morning. You can hear it loud and clear, at least from my room. There’s also a bell or something that goes off every morning at 7:30am. Again, you can hear it loud and clear from the room we were in. If you’re planning to stay in Naples for only a day or two, you might be ok with this place. Other than that, meh.

What a wonderful experience!!! The room was just perfect. Extremely spacious room and the tub/jacuzzi was an excellent addition. Bathroom was a comfortable size. Kitchenette was also a wonderful surprise (I don’t remember reading about it when I booked). Mini fridge was perfect to keep water bottle and beverages cold. Very cleaned and beautifully presented. The view from the room was just great and the location couldn’t be more perfect. Walking distance from the port (great as I had planned on visiting Capri and Ischia) and many other sightseeing musts. Also many places to eat and stores around the block. The host was also extremely helpful, charming and attentive. She allowed us to keep our bags in the lobby and do check-in early as we were ready visit and sightsee many places as soon as we got there around noon. She was also of great help after we checked-out, as I accidentally left the car keys in the lobby, I was able to recover them. All in all we had a great experience and time and will definitely stay again. Highly recommended.

Siamo stati accolti in questa struttura da signor Armando, una persona gentilissima e disponibile, nonostante all inizio avessimo avuto un piccolo incomprensione con la prenotazione, il problema è stato risolto in pochi minuti, per il resto non bastano solo 5 stelle per descrivere la cortesia e l organizzazione, ma soprattutto l igiene e la pulizia! Un ambiente molto cordiale! Un GRAZIE speciale a signor Armando! A presto! Da baghi e Jessica ♥️

Our room was nicely spacious and well furnished. The bed was comfortable, there was a good sized wardrobe and a decent desk. The room was beautifully decorated, fresh and spotlessly clean. The bathroom had a good shower, and was roomy plus, again, very well decorated. Also came with a hairdryer on the wall which I was very happy with. We didn't actually meet the owner but they were very helpful on WhatsApp. The internet was good once we realised logging into the named internet with our floor number made it stronger. Despite the cosmetic looks of the area we did actually feel safe and found the locals to be very friendly and helpful (although English is not prevalent). If you are visiting the Tabbaco shop at the bottom of the hill sells bus tickets but is shut on Sundays. Next door the mini supermarket is very well priced (well compared to UK prices). The buses leave from opposite the little newsstand (back side of it not the front) and head to Naples Central in about 15mins. Taxi from the Central Station was a maximum of 16euro and from the airport 30euro I can not comment on value for money as we booked a package deal but despite the location I would stay again because it was so nice, stylish, quiet and comfortable. Thank you to the owner for the help with the city tax we appreciated it

It offers a welcoming and relaxing environment, ideal for those seeking a break from the daily routine. The attention to detail and quality of service are evident, with the owners always available to provide a warm and personalized welcome. Here, every guest can feel special and completely rejuvenated.

A structure located on the Amalfitan coastal promenorion. Visual from the stunning rooms, very friendly and comfortable staff as never before, very clean rooms, excellent breakfast. I would strongly advise him who wants a beautiful romantic weekend.

Wow what an amazing place to stay! From the moment we arrived the two ladies from Alcoine Residence (So sorry unsure on names) could not been more helpful. Yes it is not a hotel but the service they provide is much more personable. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was incredibly clean and the view from our balcony was amazing! We loved choosing our breakfast and eating it on the balcony every morning. The facilities were amazing. One night we had our own dinner from the pizzeria and deli - the views were breathtaking. They also booked us a transfer back to the airport and booked us dinner reservations. We Would highly recommend staying here!!!

Where do I begin? From weeks before my arrival to the day I left, I was met with some of the sweetest, kindest, and most amazing staff in the world. The experience was truly world-class, and the way the staff went above and beyond to make my stay the best ever was incredible. The property was breathtaking—pictures don’t do it justice. I was blown away by the views from the balcony and the beautiful rooms adorned with fresh flowers and intricate details. Day 1: We arrived on a very rainy day, and despite the downpour, we were greeted with umbrellas and someone to assist with our bags, which we truly appreciated. We ventured out to explore, and the staff provided us with umbrellas just in case it rained again. They also offered tips and tricks to navigate Positano, along with a list of fabulous restaurants. We took full advantage of Saraceno d’Ora, which was near the hotel and had some of the best food in Positano. We went there every day during our stay! Day 2: This was my birthday, and they surprised me with a beautiful birthday treat during breakfast. The breakfast was amazing, and I appreciated that they asked how we liked certain things. Later, I went on a photo shoot excursion, and a lovely lady at the front desk—unfortunately, I can’t remember her name—called to let them know I was ready. She also assisted us with dinner reservations at Chez Black, seating us with the best view in Positano. She helped us secure beach reservations at the beach club, and as we headed to the beach, we were offered beach towels—yet another amazing touch to make the day even better. The hospitality at this beautiful place was unmatched. Day 3: Check-out day arrived, and I didn’t want to leave. I wish we could have spent more days at this stunning property. I told everyone back home they must stay here; the level of care is unbelievable and truly enhances the experience. I highly recommend that anyone stay here. For some reason, it says this is a 1-star hotel, but in the USA, it would be considered 5 stars due to the service, level of care, and personal touch. To everyone at Villa Yiara, thank you so much for everything. You made my birthday the most memorable and special day I could have ever asked for!

The B&b is located in a central location. The room is very clean. The lady has always been kind and available for anything. We will certainly return, I am very happy. The hotel is located in the centre of the city, close to pizzeria, bar, port ... This is a great breakfast.

Let me start by being positive. The location is fantastic! A few minutes from the train station, about 8 min to the ferry terminal to catch the ferry to explore the Amalfi Coast towns. It is on a pedestrian street with lots of shopping, cafes, restaurants and bars. It would get 5* for location. We stayed in the “family suite” for two weeks. You have to let them know when you are checking in because there isn’t a front desk. Someone comes to let you in. The “suite needs to be refurbished as there were curtains that needed to be replaced. The kitchen was sp****ly equipped. No sharp knife or cutting board. No kettle. Backsplash covered in grease marks. The shower head was on the floor of the shower so we had to tie it with dental floss so we could use two hands to shower. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Bathroom next to the kitchen with about a 12” step to get in it. We did not have daily housekeeping. I wasn’t looking for luxury but this certainly wasn’t as advertised.
