Guest Reviews
- Michael (8/5): - The Rock is a cool apartment in a fantastic location. It is very spacious and the room inside a cave is very unique. The apartment does not get much natural air and smells a bit moldy.
- Rashaud (10/5): - One of a kind accommodations. Spacious, charming, and good character. Dario was very responsive. Great area extremely walkable transit nearby and may great restaurants steps away.
- René (8/5): - Sehr zu empfehlen.
- Imanda (10/5): - Huge apartment. Spacious and beautiful. Great location.
- Graham (1/5): Worst vacation rental I've ever had, dishonest hosts and unhelpful customer service - Great Location, but that's about it. The power was out to this unit when we arrived, the host tried telling us first that it'd be fine if we didn't use the kitchen, but the main breaker kept tripping. Since we couldn't very well sleep in a dark apartment with no light or AC we ended up booking an alternate property at our own expense. The host as since lied to booking.com and said that we completed our "stay", despite the fact that we returned the keys to him in under an hour. They've also lied and said the power was out to the entire area, which is also completely untrue, the issue was with something short circuiting in the unit and tripping the main breaker for Unit #10.
I think the larger issue is that they only showed up right as we were getting to the property. They were doing the last cleaning touches and trying to sort the power as we were arriving. Generally I'm used to hosts that check the property over in advance so they aren't caught on the back foot by things like this.
I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, and recognize that it's difficult to resolve an electrical issue at 8pm at night. It seems like a clear cut situation where they could have refunded our money and we'd have been quite happy, but the fact that they are fighting on us on this is pretty concerning.
I expected booking.com to be more like AirBnB and actually be helpful but at present they are refusing to refund our money (despite the fact that they can see we made and paid for a second Naples reservation for the exact same dates)
- Leonard (1/5): After staying in wonderful apartments in Venezia, Firenze and Roma…this was a great disappointment. - Leaving We were met by a young man in a very, very difficult to find courtyard;
He immediately told us that we could not leave our car in the front, for even a moment, even though we explained that our luggage needed to be unloaded;
As a result of telling us that we had to move immediately, I instead chose to take the one minute to unload said luggage;
I was directed to a parking garage where I placed our car;
With this young man exhibiting very obvious reluctance, he helped me bring the luggage inside the front door
We discovered that the bedroom was on the second floor (up a difficult to maneuver stairway), he reluctantly helped me with the smaller of our two suitcases;
As a 78 year old, I had to drag the remaining suitcase up these stairs…WHILE HE SIMPLY WATCHED!;
In rapid fire, he showed my wife around, leaving her with utmost confusion. (My wife is a very smart, well educated, perceptive woman);
We were left to assume that he must have had a "hot" date awaiting his arrival;
The toilet in our bedroom had a loud, constant flushing noise;
The towels were akin to drying ourselves with a loufa sponge as that is how scratchy and stiff were the towels;
Lest I forget to mention, the parking garage was 50 euros a day, each weekday, and —100 euros ($105.00) a day (yes, I stated 'day' correctly) on the weekends!!!!!!!!!! with no discount having been arranged for hotel guests;
The good news—we fully recognize that this, in no way, depicts the Italy that we have come to love🇮🇹.

- Stephen (10/5): - A really wonderful apartment to stay in. It has large open rooms and was very cool from the hot sunshine outside. Independent air conditioning for downstairs and upstairs. A very simple walk to the bay - four minutes and two restaurants on your doorstep. Excellent.
- Alan (1/5): Would not recommend. - Location was great. Apartment was dirty, mouldy and damp. Toilet and bathroom were filthy. It did not match the photos provided. Paint was peeling off the walls in many locations. Some tiles were cracked and were dangerous for children. There were also numerous holes in the wall.
- Wilson (5/5): Dario was helpful when we needed to ask something, great location, I think we just picked a bad time to stay! - The location of this property is excellent, I have stayed in Naples many times always in the Historical Centre but never in Chiaia. Access to many great cafes & bars & my favourite restaurant was only a short walk away, plus we found some new ones. The taxi rank is just around the corner which was so convenient! Ok so there were a few issues … If you’re planning a long stay there is no washer, the closest laundromat is 25mins away so not ideal. The set out of the apartment is very cool, however, it is very musty with flakey walls & rising damp so if you have respiratory issues not a great idea. My sister & I couldn’t keep the big doorway window open upstairs where we slept unfortunately as there were men outside our window every morning & during the day, which was very annoying & loud especially as it faced straight at the bathroom. Three days into our arrival there was major work started on the building which was quite unsafe getting in and out of the complex, it also gave way to more dirt & dust in the apartment as the drilling etc made the falling debris from the walls worse. We lost our hot water several times due to the building works as well as a stench from the drains. Beware, there is a very cranky, nasty woman that lives in the building that will have a go at you for no reason in particular, of course this has nothing to do with the owner, but does leave a bad taste in your mouth.
- Roxana (7/5): it is good to stay a few days - i liked the fact that is is very central, close to everything that you need for a vacantion and the place is very interesting and big. it is clearly a special place the bathroom needs to be repaired. it has a moldy smell and the upstairs toliet is very loud. also, you don’t have phone signal and it is kind of cold inside (good only if you travel during the summer)
- Andrea Lee (10/5): - The Property is huge and well located. Its very quiet if you like peace and has lots of walkable local amenities
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Posizione ottima, appartamento molto particolare ed accogliente con dentro una grotta (super!), nell’area tanti locali anche di livello e quartiere elegante
- Jack (10/5): - Secluded, safe and spacious! A great little self-contained apartment with everything you could want during your stay.
- FREDERIC (10/5): Séjour sur Naples - Super appartement très calme et très frais....pas besoin de d'enclencher la climatisation malgré les fortes températures dehors. Super emplacement !
Nous avons profité du train pour passer une journée sur Pompéi et une autre sur Sorrente.
Nous avons passé un super séjour !
- Roberto Riccardo (10/5): - Splendida abitazione in pieno centro storico. Comodissima per tutti i punti d’interesse turistico.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The location was really good for the apartment, walking distance to some really nice parts of town. Unfortunately internally it really wasn’t what I was expecting. The place smelt of damp really badly, being asthmatic I had trouble with sleeping and breathing. The ground floor is very dark and has a tiny window in the living area. I had to keep all the windows open when inside but at night this was not possible. The kitchen was very basic and old, as was the furniture in the flat. The inside of the drawers in the kitchen and bedroom smelt damp and stale. I could not put my clothes in the drawer and had to keep my suitcase open throughout our 4 night stay. If I could have, I would have booked something else, Netflix did not even work downstairs in the ‘cave’ part, in saying that the smell of damp was so bad that I couldn’t sit in there anyway. Very expensive for what it is.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Appartement fidèle aux photos. Très calme, bien placé dans Naples. (Compter 12 à 15 mn à pieds pour se rendre au métro ou dans le centre historique.) Seul bémol, le propriétaire n'est pas sur place, donc nous l'avons rencontré à l'arrivée puis nous avons correspondu par sms en anglais lorsque nous avions besoin de renseignements.
- Anna (10/5): - This was my me and my husbands first time and Naples and our visit here surpassed all expectations. The rock is the BEST spot to stay in Naples! Dario does an outstanding job communicating check in/out times, gave excellent restaurant recommendations, and the apartment is breath taking. The location is 15 minutes from the train station(by taxi) and is in the middle of everywhere you would want to be. The apartment is extremely clean, spacious, and quiet. We will definitely be interested in booking here again and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to book here!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Bonne situation dans le quartier de chaia appartement très bien décoré et assez calme
- Kevin (10/5): A spacious apartment in fashionable Chiaia. - Dario is a fantastic host! He met us at the apartment and gave us an overview of the area, including places to eat, shop and catch local transport. The apartment itself is located in secure gated complex in the heart of Chiaia. I have no reservations in highly recommending The Rock.
- Martin (10/5): Beste Lage in Neapel - Dario der Vermieter ist wirklich äußerst nett und hilfsbereit um die Zeit im Neapel toll zu gestalten!
Wir hatten ein Leihauto was in Neapel sehr gut überlegt sein sollte und er hatte uns auch eine nahegelegene Gran Garage empfohlen und uns diese zu speziellen Konditionen organisiert!
Die Unterkunft liegt in der absolut besten und ruhigsten Gegend Neapels und ist definitiv „the best place to be“
- Nadia (10/5): Big appartment and amazing location - We had an amazing stay at at The Rock, the appartment is amazing we really loved it! It was a big appartement and jt was located very well, it was close to the bay of Napels and it was close to the centre. The owner also stayed in contact with us to see if everything was ok. We had an amazing time here and will book this again when we are going to Napels again.
- Diego (6/5): - Bad , i was really looking foward to stay on this hotel but i got from this hotel saying that room was not. And they had an option to stsy B&B. , i agreed because too close to get make other accomodations but the place decent but did not fill my expectations
- Steven (10/5): - I could’ve written this review within 60 seconds of entering the apartment. It’s enormous, comfortable, well furnished & in a fantastic part of town. Dario couldn’t have been more helpful checking in.
The only downside is the lack of natural light, but you can simply go for a walk outside to remedy this.
A wonderful apartment at a great price. I’d go back there in a second.
- Al (10/5): - A special place hidden in one of the best parts of town. The Rock is beautiful and spacious. Our host Dario's strong communicatiom via whatsapp was helpful for us to get to the place and he was very welcoming once we arrived (fyi he asks for two euro per person for I believe was the laundry fee which he claimed wasn't covered in the expedia booking) .
- fabrizio (10/5): - Ottima struttura in centro storico in una perfetta situazione. Molto silenziosa. Grande e spaziosa. Da provare.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hübsches, sehr zentrales sauberes Appartement. - Das Appartement war sehr geräumig und sehr gut ausgestattet (u.a. 3 Fernseher mit Netflix). Die Lage war für uns optimal, sehr nah am Meer und nur wenige Minuten in die Fußgängerzone (15 Min. zur Piazza del Plebiscito). Wir haben sehr viel zu Fuß erledigt. Die beste Pizza der Stadt (Sorbillo) liegt nur 5 Minuten entfernt. Das Appartement liegt sehr ruhig in einem sehr schönen Hinterhof.
Der Empfang war sehr nett, alles wurde ausführlich erklärt (italienisch ist aber hilfreich) und wir konnten jederzeit nachfragen (über WhatsApp).
Es gibt in der Nähe zwei Supermärkte, ein großer Carrefour (ca. 500 m) und ganz nah ein Gourmet Conad mit sehr leckeren Sachen.
- kit (10/5): - Reçu par Monsieur Dario!!!
Accueil très chaleureux,il met tout son temps pour vous donner des bons conseils,où manger et visiter....
L'appartement est très grand,localisation plein centre,très bon quartier surtout très propre!!
Vous ne serez pas déçu.
