This was 100% out of anyone's control, but due to an earthquake a few weeks prior to my stay, some of the structures of the building had shifted, rendering the wooden doorframe misaligned. For me this was no deterrent, but it required some extra strength to manipulate one of the doors to the secure appartament -- an issue which servicemen were seemingly busy addressing along with a multitude of other issues throughout the neighbourhood as a result of the earthquake.

Well before I even arrived in Napoli, the hostess Maria Grazia made her warmth and hospitality brilliantly evident. She is willing to provide kind and informed guidance no matter the guest's degree of familiarity with the unforgettable, busy (and often hectic) city. Located in a great spot nestled in il Quartiere Chiaia, overlooking Carità Materdei convent -- close to Mappatella Beach, public transport, Posillipo, Vomero, loads of high-end shopping, and naturally dozens upon dozens of terrific restaurants. Bonus points for one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. I wish I had known about lo Specchio on my LAST visit to Napoli!

Beautiful location, beautiful building and Maria was so kind. Good communication and I just felt really safe as a solo traveler staying here. 🩷 View of Capri Island and Mount Vesuvius from the room.

The elevator is fine ... but very small. Only a very minor item of note for a place I would stay again without hesitation!

I liked the neighborhood of Chiaia. It's close--but not in the middle--of all the action. The views from the room were pleasant and the proprietor was very nice and helpful to me.

It was a beautiful room with a great view. It was also located near buses to get to the old part of the city. The couple who own it were extremely nice and invited us over for breakfast. Also the had someone who could pick us up at the airport and drop us off at the train station ( even for a fee, but so reasonable). It was so helpful.

We absolutely loved our room. Very clean, with all amenities you'd need which included coffee/tea maker, complimentary water in the fridge, air conditioning. We arrived in the morning and availed of airport transfer, also we were let into our room ahead of check-in time, which was lovely and really appreciated. I would definitely recommend staying in Maria's property, it's located in a quiet, residential area, there's a small cafeteria nearby to get your coffee and cornetto fix :-) and the room has a nice view of the sea

My biggest problem was that there is no breakfast option. The accommodation is called bed and breakfast, when you click on rooms there is breakfast option, But in reality -no. i saw host commenting that the breakfast options are explained But n

Location was perfect and accommodation was really clean, modern and nice.

Could have been a bit more clean. The bathroom shower gel dispenser fell off and the toilet paper quality is horrible. I didn't have breakfast included so I can't comment on that. The door leading to the apartments are squeaky and hard to open.

Location. Is a quiet residential street, far from city central but short walk away from metro station. I had a really nice view from the room and the host was very accommodating with late arrival and payment. Few minor issues, but I would recommend if you are staying in a city for a few days.

Maria is an Angel. Because of the sudden ilness of my wife just after the arrival to Naples, we found ourselves in difficulty in an unknown city. We received so much help, assistance and kindness from Maria that I would not expect more from close friends or family. Maria, thank you again. There are no words to express our gratitude. We just wish you all the best in your private life and your business.

The Specchio di Parthenope is in a very nice part of Naples, the area of Chiaia, worth exploring. I chose it on purpose, as it is well connected by public transport, a number of bus and metro lines. The host is very helpful and forthcoming, everyone I met very friendly. My room had a nice view on the bay of Naples and the surrounding area. As it was already fairly warm at the beginning of July, the aircon was much appreciated :)

There is no closet in the room without a balcony. There is paid municipal parking, there is no private parking of the place.

The landlady received us nicely and answered all our questions and recommended places in the vicinity. Comfortable beds, a large room with all the necessary accessories (towels, shampoo, soaps, kettle, coffee machine). We booked 2 rooms, one had a closet and the other only had a stand for clothes and it was a pity. Other than that, excellent and recommended!

Loved the view of Naples Bay, Capri and Vesuvius from our balcony. Maria our host was warm and welcoming and invited us up to her rooftop apartment for breakfast and a sweeping view of Naples. There were many restaurants, coffee shops and a grocery store nearby.

The air conditioning could have worked a little better as we struggled to sleep with the warm temperature. The sofa was a little worn looking.

Location was very walkable to great restaurants, shopping and historical sites. The room was clean and had a beautiful view of the Bay of Naples. The owner was helpful and accomodating- she even helped us schedule a taxi for our early morning departure.

The hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable. Gave valuable information about the area. It was in a lovely quiet area.

The location was a little bit off the city centre, but it was near the beach and not as full of tourists.

The service was perfect and the hosts were very welcoming and kind. Room was clean and nice, bathroom was modern.

There was no breakfast on location, but we walked to a nearby cafe but we knew this when we booked.

There was a lovely sea view. The property was close to the city centre. We visited the castle at the top of the city via the funicular railway where the views were simply amazing. There were plenty of eating place close by. We enjoyed a lovely fish supper at the Aquarium restaurant, kindly booked for us by our host.

The shower cabin was vely small. The flash of the toilett had some problems. The refridgerator was not in operation, there was only one plug and I had to unplug something to plug another device like coffee maker or refridgerator.

The bed, the location, easy parking, clean, friendly host, views, enough room. The host was very flexible with arrival procedure and very good in english communication through mobile. Very polite.

The walls were really thin and you could hear the neigbours like they were in the same room with you. Luckily there was not too much noise from them but we could hear all their conversations.

Beautiful room,clean and comfortable. The lady was really nice. The apartment building was really clean and beautiful and had a person guarding the entrance. The area was secure and the car was safe and the neighbourhood was peaceful. No actual parking but we could find around the block a space for which you have to pay something like 15 euro. We tried paying but it didnt work so we actually parker without payment.
