B&B Orsini 46

Most have already been said but if you ARE planning to go to Naples and they have rooms available (its a fairly small place) then consider yourself in good hands! Rooms are perhaps a bit small for some but it got everything you need and the beds are fantastic The owners speak very good english and can-If you need it-point you in all the best directions be it things to see-food-shopping or what have you I stayed early February which for me was a good time to visit Napoli…not too hot or too many tourists If/when I come back I would definitely try to book a room here

From booking to departure Gabriele and his lovely wife (sorry I have forgotten her name) did everything they could to make our stay and our time in Naples memorable, confortable and happy. Their place is close to the seafront and the castle it's beautifully furnished, equipped and maintained. Breakfasts were a pleasure and they were so helpful in recommending places to see, to relax and to eat. We felt as if we were almost a part of the family while we were there and will certainly go back when we return to Naples.

Hosts were very nice and helpful. Room was huge and in a great location. Close to marina. You can Walk everywhere and great restaurants close by. If you don’t mind some walking you can walk to the metro which gets you to the train to Pompei or Sorento. My husband and I Enjoyed our stay. I would recommend!

What amazing accommodation. We had booked a Superior Sea View "Capri suite and it did not disappoint, it was exactly like the photographs beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly need. Gabriele was so helpful advising on places to eat and see and his wife delivered a beautiful breakfast to our room each morning (sadly we only had two nights in Naples but really wished we were there for longer). The location is excellent for sightseeing and restaurants and an acceptable walk from the station. We would most certainly recommend a stay at B & B Orsini 46

Orsini 46 thoroughly deserves its 5 star rating. I came across it while reading an exceptional travel review in a quality UK newspaper. As soon as you enter the property, on the 3rd floor of a lift accessible charming old building in the upmarket Santa Lucia district of Naples, one block from the waterfront, you enter a peaceful, serene sanctuary. Gabriele, Manuela and Hector are the best hosts we’ve ever had. We don’t say this lightly, having been travelling around the world for decades! We stayed in the Capri room for 4 nights which has lateral sea views, a modern bathroom and is spotlessly clean, spacious and has everything you may need. The hosts provide daily still and sparkling water, a coffee machine etc and a fantastic array of breakfast choices delivered to your in-room dining table each morning (you fill out a card the night before with your choices & preferred time). Gabriele greeted us warmly and gave us a very comprehensive information in Naples and the local area including sites to visit, local restaurant recommendations, how to get to places etc. We asked his advice before arriving about tours to Pompeii and he organised one for us with pick-up round the corner. He made us feel confident to enjoy Naples, which we did. We really felt like one of the family while staying here. We really can’t recommend Orsini 46 highly enough. Look no further!

We arrived late on a Friday afternoon during the peak hour traffic chaos of Naples then had a problem finding the building that the B&B is located in. There was no clear signage and it was hard finding the number on the building. It was rather chaotic on the streets and a woman was trying to direct us elsewhere. We were driving so needed parking for the car so after speaking with Hector over the intercom and being directed to the nearest car park we then encountered an issue with the price for parking which had apparently doubled to 40 euro a night due to a music festival taking place nearby. Hector very kindly came downstairs to try and sort it out for us and eventually found another car park around the corner that would honour the quoted 21 euro a night charge. Not a great start to our stay in Naples. On a brighter note the B&B is safely located upstairs in a lovely old building that also houses businesses like law firms and there is a quaint old fashioned lift located in the foyer to take you upstairs. The building is a short walk to the bay area and there are a lot of restaurants nearby. We stayed in the Ischia Room which was spacious and very clean. The bathroom has a step up in the middle of the room which could pose a problem at night for unfamiliar guests and the shower was very small. Breakfast is served on a tray mobile brought to your room in the morning which you order on a form the night before. We only got to meet one of the owners, Gabrielle when we were leaving as they had been away for the weekend but he seemed very pleasant as was Hector. Overall our experience of Naples was not good even though I had already read about what to expect, perhaps the week long music festival didn’t help. The streets were very dirty but they were out in the early hours of Monday morning cleaning up. Our room was very quiet but you could hear the noise in the bathroom. People seem to have very opposing views on Naples but for us it was a big no. The hosts at the B&B were very helpful and pleasant though and for this we were very grateful.
