Guest Reviews
- Federico Angelo (9/5): -
- Federica (10/5): Il proprietario davvero una persona molto cortese e disponibile in tutto. Consiglio la struttura per la pulizia e anche - La struttura era in un palazzo molto antico ma era davvero silenziosa e pulita Sì potrebbero evitare le sacche di biancheria all ingresso e forse sarebbe utile sapere se si è soli nell appartamento o hanno prenotato le altre stanze
- Eleonora (9/5): -
- DIANE (6/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): - Läget var perfekt och rummet var helt enligt förväntningarna. Området lugnt men ändå nära till restauranger, shopping och sevärdheter. Värdarna Emilio och Emanuele var mycket hjälpsamma och informativa. Tack! Inget speciellt
- paolo (6/5): - La posizione, quartiere molto signorile, vicino al lungomare e dalle principali attrazioni Cambio asciugamani a pagamento, palazzo in ristrutturazione
- Şebnem (9/5): - Temiz yeri güzel ama odayı bulup girene kadar bayağı uğraştık. Tadilat var binada giriş biraz yordu bizi
- Iryna (10/5): -
- Elena (9/5): -
- George (7/5): Naples couples trip - April - Convenient locations next to metro and popular Chiaia area. Room was comfortable and away from the noise of the busy high street. Breakfast from neighbouring cafe was a highlight with fresh pastries and great coffee / fresh juice to takeaway or sit in. Host was unresponsive at times. No clear check-out instructions given. Living room space is communal and not private which was not clear on the listing (bathroom and bedroom is in their own private room, off shooting from communal living room). Unclear what you can get for breakfast.
- Reinold (8/5): Super lieve mensen - De mensen zijn erg aardig en meehelpend Ze waren aan het verbouwen
- Maria (9/5): - Cortesia, pulizia e posizione eccellente
- Kamil (9/5): Hotel spełniał wszystkie oczekiwania, lokalizacja idealna. - Lokalizacja idealna , śniadania w pobliskiej kawiarni, super miejsce i duży wybór słodkich wypieków .
- Angela Alessandra (8/5): -
- Shaila (7/5): -
- Aneta (9/5): Příjemné ubytování, dobrá lokalita - Lokalita je skvělá. Pokoj byl hezky čistý a prostorný.
- BARBARA (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto, il signor Emilio è stato estremamente gentile. - Soggiorno perfetto, posizione comoda e facilmente raggiungibile, camera dotata di ogni comfort. Inoltre, la colazione veniva servita in una pasticceria fantastica.
- Francesca (10/5): - La camera accogliente ,molto pulita e molto silenziosa. Tutto perfetto
- Maria (7/5): - Ottima colazione al bar, senza possibilità di sedersi. Ottima la posizione nel centro e vicino al mare.
Molto precise le indicazioni date dal responsabile della struttura, che non abbiamo incontrato.
Stanza silenziosa. Perplessità sulla qualità della biancheria da bagno in dotazione, molto consunta. Il bollitore in dotazione in camera macchiato o consumato all'interno e quindi non utilizzabile.
- Marcela (10/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): - cortesia e precisione. struttura carina, comoda e curata
- Simone (10/5): -
- Pierangelo (10/5): Bellissimo - Ottima colazione Niente
- Hande (6/5): Was ok for one night, for the low price we got, but not really a recommendation - The location - chiaia is a very nice neighborhood. Communication w/ owner/manager fast and good. The building is in construction. The b&b had a strange smell.
- sarah (7/5): Un spot calme et pas trop loin du centre historique - La situation géographique. Pas trop excentre et pas trop proche du centre historique non plus.
Le petit déjeuner au café près de l’hôtel était très sympa.
Les recommandations d’emilio en matière de restaurant et sa disponibilité. La bouilloire était en panne mais globalement le séjour était agréable . Pas très bien insonorisé mais il y a tellement de choses à visiter à Naples qu’on ne passe pas beaucoup de temps dans la chambre.
- Corinna (10/5): Beim nächsten Urlaub in Neapel werde ich dort wieder buchen! - Sauberes BNB mit sehr netten Hosts. Sehr gemütliches Zimmer - die Lage kann man nur als ausgezeichnet bewerten! Die Bäckerei, in der man ein kostenloses Frühstück bekommt war auch super. Sehr nettes Personal und die Cornettos zum Dahinschnmelzen. Das Palazzo ist in Renovierung und man muss für den Aufzug jedes Mal 10cent bezahlen.
- Morgan (9/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): Bella e accogliente - Bella, accogliente, facile da trovare e visto che l’accesso in struttura era autonomo é stato tutto molto facile ed il proprietario disponibilissimo.
La struttura é a due passi dalla metro quindi molto collegata.

- Ng Yan Long (10/5): Amazing and Pleasant! - I enjoyed the clean unit, location and responsive host! Everything was great
- Matina P. (9/5): - Excellent Excellent stay! The service and communication were outstanding – Emilio was especially helpful and friendly throughout our visit. The accommodation was spotless, fully equipped, and stocked with every personal care product you could think of. The bakery for the breakfast was very close offering countless delicious breakfast options. The location was also perfect; if I ever return to Naples, I would definitely stay in this area again!
Highly recommended! The only downside was the poor Wi-Fi signal, but everything else made the stay truly enjoyable.
- Pavlovic (10/5): Excellent - Location, host, room, breakfast — everything was exactly as we hoped.
The host was extremely helpful and attentive, and the room was cleaned every day. Breakfast in the nearby café was excellent. The location is great and, most importantly, very safe — especially since we were traveling with a baby.
All in all, if we return to Naples, we would definitely choose this place again.
- Fabienne (8/5): - Emplacement, propreté, petit déjeuner Rien
- Rossana (10/5): Meraviglioso! - Colazione eccezionale e posizione strategica. Nulla.
- Silvia (10/5): Quando tornerò a Napoli prenoterò nuovamente presso “Il picchio di Chiaia” - Posizione che perfetta per girare Napoli a piedi o con metro.
Stanza nuova, pulita e silenziosa.
Staff accogliente e disponibile.
- Matteo (7/5): Carino, da prendere in considerazione per un viaggio di coppia - La posizione è in un quartiere elegante e in un condominio veramente affascinante e suggestivo. La camera anche se un po’ piccola ma non gli manca nulla. Molto comodo con i mezzi pubblici L’ingresso potrebbe essere più curato e meglio tenuto
- Noemi (9/5): - L'host è stato gentilissimo e molto accogliente.
La stanza nuova,pulita e piacevole. La struttura oltre a trovarsi in un ottimo quartiere è in una posizione strategica per poter raggiungere con facilità tutti i punti d'interesse principali . Consigliatissimo
- Gabriella (6/5): - The likes the location The building was under renovation and run down, full of dust.
Very uninviting, they should have told us that the building was u set renovation at time of booking.
From the pictures look nicer than in reality
- Miguel Angel (9/5): -
- Gianmarco (10/5): Posizione Perfetta, grandissima accoglienza - Posizione perfetta per visitare Napoli e l’host è sempre stato di grandissimo aiuto e gentilissimo. Consiglio vivamente
- Kalniņš (9/5): -
- Lea (10/5): -
- Ines (10/5): Perfekte Lage, ruhig, geräumig, gemütlich und leckeres Frühstück in einem Café um die Ecke - Tolle Lage, ruhig und trotzdem sehr gut angebunden an den öffentlichen Verkehr (U2 Piazza Amedeo) Sauber, geräumig, nette Kommunikation mit Emilio. Gemütlicher Aufenthaltsraum für alle Gäste der drei Zimmer. Super, dass man in einem 100m entfernten Café mit Gutscheinen der Unterkunft super lecker frühstücken kann. Perfekt für ein paar Tage in Neapel! -
- Maria (10/5): -
- Mary (10/5): Great stay in Naples - A beautifully appointed room well within walking distance of many sites/walk streets (bars, restaurants, shops, cafes). Very comfortable and quiet. Would recommend.
- Kateryna (9/5): - дуже гарний район, цікава історична будівля, комфортний тихий чистий номер
- Helen Rojas (9/5): comodo - confortable y bien ubicado Un pequeño problema con la ducha pero se resolviò inmediatamente
- Sandra (10/5): Recomendado 100% - Estoy súper contenta con haber elegido este alojamiento en Nápoles. Dudé mucho con las zonas y el Picchio di Chíaia ha sido un acierto. Lo mejor de todo, Emilio, el dueño. Ha estado acompañandonos por WhatsApp y atento a nosotras desde que llegamos. Muy atento y muy servicial. Me mandó toda la información y todas las indicaciones oportunas y muy bien detalladas para poder entrar fuera de la hora de check in. No hubo pérdida. La habitacion perfecta, la cama comodísima, el baño completo y un balcón muy agradable. La ubicación es estupenda, ya que chíaia es un barrio tranquilo, seguro y bonito. Y se llega al centro caminando tranquilamente 30-40 min y 20 minutos hasta la zona del palacio real. hay metro cerca y autobuses cerca.
El desayuno se sirve en un café cercano a 5 min. Un cappuccino estupendo y unos cruasanes buenísimos. No se si en el desayuno puedes pedir más cosas, mi madre y yo con un café y un cruasán ya desayunamos...pero no se si puedes pedir más cosas. Se supone, que en la habitación debes tener unos tickets verdes que luego entregas en la cafetería que acredita que vienes del picchio. En nuestro caso, no teníamos los tickets y Emilio nos los acercó para no tener problemas en la cafetería. Emilio es muy amable, muy servicial y muy atento. Sin duda, lo recomiendo 100%. Por ubicación, que aunque este a 40 min del centro, el barrio es tranquilo para salir del caos. Lo recomiendo por el precio y sin duda, por Emilio. Grazie. Todo estuvo estupendo
- Yu Ting Zita (3/5): Felt more like a haunted stay than a vacation rental - It is situated at Chiaia, a relatively safe area in Naples. My stay at this property was deeply disappointing and, more importantly, left me feeling genuinely unsafe. The listing is highly misleading, but the intimidating atmosphere of the building was the biggest issue.
The attractive, modern living area shown in the photos is not private; it's a common area shared with other rooms, a critical detail not made clear. However, the real problem is the building itself. It is exceptionally rundown, poorly maintained, and the entrance is so dark and decrepit it felt like a haunted house. The lack of lighting in the hallways and common areas created a scary environment. As a woman traveling alone, I felt uncomfortable and anxious every time I had to enter or leave, especially after dark. This is not a suitable environment for a solo female traveler.
While the room itself was superficially clean, the overall rundown and neglected state of the property created a persistent impression of being unclean and unkempt. This feeling was exacerbated by other issues:
· Lack of Basic Amenities: Being charged €1 for water bottles felt stingy and is unlike any other accommodation I experienced in Southern Italy.
· Maintenance Issues: The curtain in our room was broken and required a handyman to fix it.
· Absent Host: We never met the host in person, which added to the impersonal and uneasy feeling.
For the price paid, the value was extremely poor. I have stayed in far superior, cleaner, and—most importantly—safer accommodations in Southern Italy for the same cost. I cannot recommend this property, especially to other solo female travelers, and would strongly advise everyone to look elsewhere.
- Deborah (10/5): -
- Mikael (9/5): - "La chambre était jolie, propre et très agréable. L'hôte est disponible et attentif, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus confortable. Le véritable point fort reste l'emplacement, parfait pour découvrir la ville de Naplesm."
- Giuseppe (10/5): -
- daniel thomas (10/5): -
- RachelFon (8/5): Sitio céntrico y agradable. - La ubicación muy buena,la habitación limpia y correcta. Desayuno un poco escaso en una cafetería cercana,un café y un bollo solamente.
- Dirk (9/5): -
- Carolina (6/5): Felt like an Airbnb - Good location and clean room. Felt like an Airbnb, I have never even met any personnel. You get some instructions via WhatsApp, even get asked to leave the night tax on the desk before you leave, and that's that.
Breakfast is a croissant and coffee in a very busy cafe where you cannot even seat most of the days BC the cafe doesn't even have tables, just a couple of stools.
If you are vegan or have dietary restrictions (diabetic, gluten allergies, dairy allergies) you have nothing to eat though you're paying for "breakfast included".
There's a coffe machine in the common area but no coffee capsules, and a water heater in the room but just a mint bag and anyway, no cups. Is just like decoration.
My room was specially dark needed to turn on the lights regardless of the time of day.
The room was clean and location was good, bit considering the price and the rates, I expected something else.
As other have mentioned the building is undergoing restoration and the stairs are quite dark.
- Mario (9/5): - Excellent location. Easy check in and check out. It was not very clear what is included in the breakfast, since it is done by a very busy cafeteria nearby.
- Kamil (10/5): -
- Talyta (8/5): - Very organized, clean, good bed and good shower. The building was under renovation, so no light, a lot of dust. The elevator works only with 10 cents payment.
- Ewan (9/5): A characterful and well-kept B&B in a great location. - “A very clean and comfortable B&B in a charming part of Naples. The historic building is full of character yet feels safe and welcoming. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the metro. Breakfast at the nearby café is simple but enjoyable, and a nice way to start the day like a local.” Nothing to dislike
- Esma (10/5): Fantastic! - The location was magical! Close to everything, if not close then the metro vas just a few minutes away. And! So clean! The breakfast also a winning thing for me. Would come back any time! Also the host/owner and his staff: super nice and always there to help with everything! Liked everything! So nothing negative!!
- Casale (9/5): - La ubicación y la comodidad del depto La entrada la están arreglando

- Chloe (9/5): -
- Irina (9/5): Nice stay in Napoli - The host was incredibly supportive, providing guidance even at a late hour (around 12 a.m.). The location was good, and the property offered good value for money.
- andra (10/5): - Foarte frumoasă
- Amin (3/5): Overall if I want to go there again, I wouldn’t choose this place again. - Breakfast in a nearby cafe was good First of all, they tried to be clean, but it was not clean at all.
They just tried to make the first glance looks clean
But there was hair in the toilet
There was hair in the bed when we wanted to use.
The blanket in the closet was completely dirty.
For this reason we cleaned the room by ourselves and did not let them to come in the room and clean in their way again!!
I don’t know how people said that their cleanness is good.
Second of all, the building was terrible!!!!!
When you enter to building for the first time it’s like being in a horror movie!!!
Absolutely terrifying elevator
Absolutely horrible stairs
Absolutely dark in the night
If you are a girl and want to go in or get out in night, it would be very very scary for you!!
- Chloe (10/5): We had a very enjoyable stay here, the host Emilio looked after all our needs and the room was very clean and comfortabl - Room is modern, well-equipped, clean and comfortable. Location is convenient as it’s close to Metro stop Piazza Amadeo. The host Emilio was very helpful and provided everything we needed during our stay. Nothing.
- Lisa (10/5): Very nice overnight stay in Naples - The b&b was in a perfect location. Our room was very quiet, clean, modern and comfortable. We were given vouchers for the nearby cafe for breakfast, which was delicious.
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Freddy (6/5): OK for AB&B - Nice room but building being renovated so hard to get in first time. breakfast nice, elevator very small and not always available didn't know it was and ABB thought it was a hotel. They didn't give enough Toilet paper for 3 people and not tissues so had to keep asking for more.
- Sybilla (9/5): Quiet and comfortable accommodation in Naples - The room was very clean, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect - a quiet and safe neighborhood, yet close to the attractions and metro station on Piazza Amadeo. The rooms are cleaned every day around 10:00-11:00. The bed was comfortable. If you choose option with breakfast, you will taste a true italian one - delicious coffee and pastry in the nearest cafe Piterà. The building is currently under renovation, but overall it does not affect the comfort of your stay. Noises from the street cannot be heard and it's a huge plus, as Naples is a very loud city.
- Vedant (9/5): Superb - The location of the property was absolutely amazing. The warmth of the host and all his help was extremely helpful as well. The property was well maintained. The entrance to the property was under renovation and was through an old building which seemed a little dingy in the late evenings however, overall the stay was comfortable and safe.
- Amber (10/5): Beautiful and Central Stay in Naples - Great area to stay in Naples, very nice and safe neighborhood a short 6 minute walk from the train/metro station. Loved the cafe we went to get breakfast in, they were always super kind and friendly. The apartment was very clean and spacious. Wifi also worked great! The host were very kind and responsive! (=

Book it without hesitation before someone e - The property was completely remodeled with high quality finishes. Top amenities. Modern furniture with clean design. Great location nearby top restaurants, shopping and easy access to historical sites. The owner went beyond the call of duty to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Everything about our stay was great.
- Eva (10/5): Nice flat - The location was great. Walking distance to the centre in a ten minutes. Very safe in the area. After the initial embarrassment of the breakfast cafeteria, we loved the hustle and bustle. You just start breakfast first thing in the morning at the place where the locals go to get their coffee and food on their way to work. They have amazing fresh orange juice, coffee, sweety or salty pastries. We went to Capri for one night and were delighted that the owner checked to make sure we were ok. Room very quiet, although close to a busy street. Furnishings new, everything smells good and unlike many places we have been in Italy no problems with smell from the garbage. Owner always communicating well on whatsapp.
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - The included breakfast in a nearby pasteleria was a welcome cherry on top!
- Sander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Veronica (9/5): Great central spot with good amenities! - Location great, very clean, smart tv, air con I would have preferred breakfast to be at the property and not at a bar down the road (I should’ve read the small print) however the bar has a lovely selection and they are very helpful
- Razvan (10/5): Great place with a nice interaction with the host in a quiet neighborhood - The place is great. A large room, with electronic access, a very nice bathroom. Interaction with the host was great, they were so attentive and ready to provide for any requests. The neighborhood is quite, fairly close to Via Toledo. There is an AC unit for the hot summer times.
- Rebecca (9/5): Great stay in Napoli - Great and very safe location to explore Napoli. Self Check-in was easy and very well explained. Room was very modern and clean. Breakfast options at the cafe nearby were amazing. Bed a little bit small, but no big deal.
