This lovely B&B fully deserves the 5/5 that it has on Trip Advisor! My husband and I had a 3 night stay for our anniversary. Firstly Alessandro, the host, was incredibly helpful & very quick at replying to messages. We were arriving on a late flight so he arranged for someone to pick us up which was worth doing as it was night & we hadn't had chance to get our bearings. The driver was very friendly & we felt very safe. A really lovely lady and gentleman were waiting for us at the doors of the building when we arrived (despite us being delayed & arriving after midnight!) & we received a really welcoming greeting; they were genuinely pleased to meet us. The decor was very modern & well designed - we stayed in the king room which was comfortable, looked great & had a lovely bathroom with jacuzzi bath & window through to the bedroom (toilet is separate!). There was a lovely little balcony. Everything was very clean; breakfast was lovely, particularly the orange squeezer for delicious fresh orange every morning. Also, the location is perfect for a stay in Naples. The main part of Naples is quite run down but Vomero & Chiaia are both really nice. Vomero is a good shopping area & has lots of restaurants & cafes. The people at the B&B recommended 'Trattoria Caprese' which is just around the corner; it isn't really a romantic restaurant but has a great atmosphere, is very popular with the locals and has friendly staff and really good food. Chez Anna isn't far from the Vanvitelli metro station and so it is easy to travel all over Naples. A couple of tips from us: - Vesuvius & Pompeii are both fantastic if you are interested in the volcano & archaeology. There is absolutely no need to pay approx. 80 euros for a trip!! We took the metro to Naples Central Station (€1,10 each), got on the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii (the train carries on to Sorrento) (€3,10) & then caught the public bus (EavBus) opposite the train station (€2,80) to Vesuvius where you pay €10 each to walk up to the top. Pompeii was €15 each. All in all, much cheaper than the trips. - Getting back to the airport is also easy and much cheaper than a taxi. Line 1 of the metro to the Central train station & then go to the bus stop 'Alibus' which is opposite the entrance to the metro. The bus comes every 20 mins & the journey takes about 15-20 mins. - Castel dell 'Ovo is a nice place to visit for free. You can't see it all but it has some great views (& currently has a great photo exhibition that is also free). It's fun to use the funicular to get there & that was much quieter than the metro whenever we used it. Quite a large review but hopefully helpful to potential visitors. We will hopefully return to Naples one day and if we do it will certainly be to Chez Anna.
