Don't judge a book by its cover, be delighted!
When we pulled up outside La Gatta, we couldn't tell what it was like as it is hidden behind huge closed doors in a 300 year old building. Diego met us downstairs.
There is a lift - great for those like us with big luggage.
What are great about La Gatta is
- Diego is an excellent host. Readily available, with good explanations of key sights, list of eateries within 4 to 20 min walk and contactable via whatsapp outside of day hours. We stayed there for 3 nights.
- Breakfast is fresh and delicious.
- Room is very big for a city room. Very comfortable, modern with cleaning every day. Brightly lit. Even though it is a 300 yr old building, Diego completely renovated the whole space to be modern, brightly lit and clean. Comfortable bed and pillows. Relatively quiet.
- Metro Mater Dei is very near via walking
- Starlita, a famous 100+ year old family owned pizzeria has DELICIOUS pizza for only 6.50 to 12 euros per pizza. Authentic Napoli pizza. Popular with Italians. Only 100m from La Gatta. We ate there twice.
- 15 min walking distance to historical centre including the excellent National Archaeological Museum with Pompeii items, famous Farnese marble statues and Egyptian mummies.
- Very local Napoli feel. This is NOT in the tourist district but a very local neighbourhood. This may not suit you if you want to be right next to lots of shops and lots of big restaurants. You will like it if you like experiencing local.
