Naples' BEST Kept Secret: Buono B&B Awaits!
Naples' BEST Kept Secret: Buono B&B Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Naples' BEST Kept Secret: Buono B&B Awaits! And let me tell you, it's less "secret" and more "oh my god, why didn't someone tell me SOONER?!" This isn't your sterile, cookie-cutter hotel review. This is the real deal, the unfiltered, the slightly-obsessive-because-I-LOVED-IT review. Consider this your personal invitation to a slice of Neapolitan heaven.
First, the Basics… Kinda. Because honestly, who reads those first, right?
- Accessibility: Buono B&B GETS it. They've got facilities for disabled guests, an elevator (praise the heavens!), and they're happy to help with anything you need. The whole vibe is just welcoming, which is a huge win.
- Internet: Yes, there's Wi-Fi, free Wi-Fi in the rooms! And in the public areas, because duh. They even mention LAN access (fancy!), but let's be real, you're here for the gelato, not the LAN.
Now, the Goods. The Stuff That Makes You Go, "YES, TAKE MY MONEY!"
Let's start with Cleanliness and Safety because, ick, nobody wants to think about germs in 2024. Buono B&B is on it. Like, ON IT.
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas? Double check.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? You betcha. They even let you opt out of room sanitization – which, for the paranoid like me, is a huge comfort.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere? Yep.
- Staff trained in safety protocol? Absolutely. They know the drill. Honestly, it felt reassuring to know they were taking it seriously.
But here’s what really got me: the breakfast. Okay, so let's dive deep here…
Breakfast: Where Dreams are Made (and Gelato Cravings Begin).
Seriously, this breakfast. Forget your sad continental breakfast. Buono B&B's morning spread is legendary.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Yes, but not your usual sad, dried-out affair. Think fresh fruit bursting with flavor, a mountain of pastries (because you’re in Italy, dammit!), and the most incredible coffee that will jolt you awake and make you believe in miracles.
- Breakfast in room? Absolutely! Because sometimes you just want to eat your pastries in your pajamas and stare out the window at the beauty of Naples.
- Alternative meal arrangement: They were super accommodating, even when I was being that guest and didn't show up on time!
Anecdote Time!
One morning, bleary-eyed and slightly hungover from a delicious dose of Italian wine, I stumbled into the breakfast area. I was not a pretty sight. I spotted the buffet, that glorious spread of everything. I had no idea what to eat first! The gentleman there offered me an espresso (they have a coffee shop!) which was magic! And as I stood there in my slightly crumpled traveling clothes, I noticed a group of tourists staring at the cake display while simultaneously looking terrified.
"It's okay," he said, as he approached us and in perfect english, explained, "It is a little bit of everything, all the best things! This is Naples, darling. We eat pastries, we drink coffee, and we worry about the calories later. We are kind of busy with that!"
That moment, in that hotel, I was ready to book myself. It was perfect.
The "Things to Do" and "Ways to Relax" (and Why They Matter):
Okay, so Buono B&B isn't a full-blown resort. They haven't got a spa with a mud bath and a llama-hair facial. But, honestly? That's part of the charm. Naples is the spa. The city is a body wrap – a chaotic, vibrant, delicious one.
- **Terrace: ** YES, this is essential. You can chill there in the evening, but I have to go to bed to avoid a sugar crash from the gelato.
- Restaurants: The B&B's central location puts you right in the heart of the Neapolitan culinary scene. Buono B&B made some incredible recommendations!
- Pool with view: It has an outdoor pool! And the view is beautiful.
The Room Itself: Cozy, with All the Essentials (and a Touch of Magic):
Where do I start?
- Air conditioning: Crucial. Naples is beautiful, but it's a scorcher.
- Free Wi-Fi: Duh.
- Blackout curtains: Saved my life after too much pizza and limoncello.
- Coffee/tea maker: Because, again, priorities.
- Mini bar: For those late-night cravings.
- Soundproofing: Blessedly quiet after the city's frenzy.
- Wake-up service: I needed this.
- Free bottled water: Hydrate or die, people.
- Bathroom phone: Didn't use it, but it's there! Luxury.
A Few Quirks (Because Nothing's Perfect, and That's Okay):
- The rooms aren't massive, but hey, you're in Naples! You're barely going to be in your room, anyway.
- The decor is simple but chic, not too flashy. Which I loved!
The Services and Conveniences: Basically, Everything You Need:
- Concierge: They were super helpful with recommendations, bookings, and generally making my life easier.
- Air conditioning in public area: Because Naples.
- Daily housekeeping: Because, again, priorities.
- Laundry service: Essential after a week of gelato-fueled exploration.
- Safety deposit boxes: Always a good thing.
- Car park [on-site]: And it’s free!!
Getting Around (Because You Need to See the Rest of Naples):
- Taxi service: Readily available.
- Airport transfer: They can arrange it, making arrival and departure a breeze.
The Verdict:
Buono B&B Awaits! isn't just a place to sleep. It's an experience. It's a warm hug after you've gotten lost in the narrow streets of the city, it's a haven for a lazy afternoon, it's a place to recharge before you get back out there and eat all the pizza. I would move in if they'd let me.

Anne's Ville 1: Fiber Internet & Parking in Legaspi City! (Your Dream Home Awaits!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram feed. This is my potential Naples itinerary, centered around the Buono B&B. Things will go sideways. That’s the beauty of it, right?
Buono B&B & Chaotic Naples: A Love Letter (and a Grumble) - My Potential Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and the Unfolding Smell (and Taste) of Heaven
- Morning (Whenever I Actually Wake Up): Arrive in Naples. Fly in, train in, emerge from the depths of a questionable bus stop…doesn't matter. The moment you step out, BAM! Naples hits you in the face. Not in a bad way. In a "WHOA, that's a lot of everything" way. It’s a sensory overload. I swear, I've never smelled so much life in one place. The air is thick with pizza, coffee, and something indefinable, like ancient history frying in olive oil.
- (Reality Check): Finding the Buono B&B. Pray for a taxi driver who speaks a smidgen of English. I’ve already envisioned myself lost, clutching a map, looking bewildered. Will I manage to get a decent espresso? My tolerance for bad coffee is low.
- Afternoon: Settling In & Pizza Pilgrimage (Phase One)
- Check into Buono B&B. (Crossing my fingers for a balcony with a view, not a brick wall!). Pray it's as charming as the photos, with the perfect Italian owner who speaks lots of English and is happy to help me with everything.
- Luggage drop, freshen up, breathe. That nap will be SO tempting, but NO. We're on a mission.
- PIZZA. HUNT. My ultimate goal. It's not just about eating pizza; it's about experiencing pizza. I'm thinking Da Michele, the legendary one. I'm already picturing the queue. The hopeful anticipation. The eventual bliss. (And maybe, just maybe, I'll accidentally elbow a tourist. Oops. Not really, but, you know).
- (Rant Alert): This is where things could go south. I'm terrible at queues. My patience is a fleeting, delicate bloom. I hope Da Michele is worth the potential bloodshed. They better be.
- Evening: Exploration and Aperitivo Adventure
- Wander around the historic center, maybe get slightly lost down some narrow alleyways (totally planned, not at all because I can't read a map).
- Find a "real" aperitivo spot. The kind where you get a free plate of snacks with your Negroni. This is non-negotiable.
- (Emotional Rollercoaster): I'll be utterly charmed by the chaos: the Vespas zipping past, the laundry strung across balconies, the sheer volume of life happening on every corner. I might laugh, I might cry (from happiness, hopefully). I suspect both.
Day 2: Pompeii, Pizza (Phase Two), and the Siren Song of the Coast
- Morning: Pompeii – History, Dust, and Eternal Regret… For the Romans
- Train to Pompeii. Early. Avoid the crowds, the heat, and the guy selling cheesy souvenirs (no offense, souvenir guy).
- Tour Pompeii. Actually see the ruins. Not just walk around, take photos, and think, "Yeah, a lot of people died here." I'll try to imagine what it was like to live there. The bread being baked, the chat in the streets, perhaps the sounds of a concert.
- (Expectations vs. Reality): I'm bracing myself for the heat, the crowds, and the inevitable existential dread of a civilization wiped out in a day. It's morbid, but it's also incredibly humbling.
- (Impression): I'm thinking of the bread that was baked and the sounds of a concert. This thought is going to stick with me all day.
- Afternoon: Pizza (Phase Two) & Coastal Dreams
- Back to Naples.
- Second pizza. A different pizzeria. Maybe a slice on the street like a real local. This city is too much to just eat pizza once.
- Decide if I go to the coast like Capri or Amalfi coast. Might opt for the Amalfi coast. The whole drive is gorgeous. It'll be amazing.
- (Rant Alert): I hate making decisions. I'll probably spend an hour obsessing over the best way to get to the coast, only to miss the last bus back and end up stranded.
- Evening: Relax and Reflect (Maybe)
- Back to Buono B&B.
- Shower off the dust of Pompeii and the salt of the coast.
- Try to figure out how to download a map… again.
- Write in my notebook, reflect on my thoughts.
- (Unlikely Scenario): I'm also expecting myself to spontaneously have an existential crisis. So that should be fun to deal with.
Day 3: Naples: Coffee, Crafts, and a Final Pizza (Phase Three)
- Morning: Caffeine Cure and Castle Exploration
- Seek out the perfect Neapolitan coffee. I refuse to leave until I find it.
- Visit a castle or two. I feel like I should. I'm not very good at history, but I do like a good view. Maybe Castel Nuovo?
- (Anticipation): I predict I'll get distracted by gelato at the castle, and then never learn much about it.
- Afternoon: Artisan Appreciation and Shopping (the Real Kind)
- Wander through the artisan streets and find something I don't need (but desperately want).
- Try to bargain, and probably fail miserably.
- (Observation): This is where I unleash my inner tourist. But there's nothing wrong with a little touristy charm.
- Evening: Farewell Feast
- FINAL PIZZA. This is the big one. The "one last hurrah" pizza. Needs to be the best of the trip. Pressure's on.
- (Emotional Outburst): I'll probably feel a combination of elation, sadness that my trip is ending, and the deep, deep satisfaction of having eaten an insane amount of pizza. Goodbye, Naples. I'll be back. Though, maybe, next time, I'll learn to read a map.
Important Notes:
- This is a "loose" itinerary. If I only stick to half of it, I'll consider it a win. Spontaneity is key.
- My Italian is practically non-existent. This will lead to much gesturing and laughter (mostly at my expense).
- I will probably get lost. A lot. And I'm totally okay with that. It's part of the adventure. The best adventures are when things are a little chaotic, right?
- BUONO B&B: Seriously, I hope the B&B is good. And that the beds are comfortable.
- Overall Goal: Return home with a slightly expanded waistline, a slightly more adventurous spirit, and a story or two to tell. (Oh, and a serious pizza craving.)
- And, by the way, I'm going to buy a pair of those awful, hideous shoes. I can't wait.
- The Real Truth: I'm going to be absolutely exhausted at the end, but also completely energized. This is the most important part.
Buono B&B: Naples' BEST Kept (Not-So-Secret Anymore) Secret! – The REALLY Unofficial FAQ
Okay, so Buono B&B... yeah, everyone's talking about it. But let's be real, before it became the "it" place, I basically stumbled in, jet-lagged, pizza-craving, and praying for magic. Spoiler alert: I found it. This isn't your typical travel guide drivel, folks. This is REAL. Prepare yourselves.
1. Seriously, "Best Kept Secret"? Is that even true anymore?
LOL. No. Absolutely not. The secret's WELL and truly out. Honestly, when I first booked, it sounded like a hidden gem. Now? Good luck snagging a room. I actually kinda resent the fact that everyone knows about it now, but then... I also want to scream from the rooftops to everyone who hasn't been. It's a paradox! Expect Instagram grids to be FULL of it, people.
2. So, what's the BIG DEAL? What makes it *so* special?
Ugh, where do I even BEGIN?! Firstly, the location. You're practically tripping over history. Okay, maybe not *tripping*, but seriously, you're RIGHT THERE in the Centro Storico. Waking up, stepping outside, and BAM! You're in Naples. The *real* Naples. The food, the chaos, the LIFE. Then there’s the *owner*, Luisa – my God, she's like a whirlwind of Neapolitan hospitality. Forget a concierge; she's a full-blown, slightly-overbearing-but-utterly-loving-and-helpful aunt. She literally dragged me to the best pizzeria my first night after a HORRENDOUS flight. And then the breakfasts! Forget those sad continental spreads. We're talking fresh pastries, the BEST coffee I've ever had (and I'm a coffee snob!), and enough to fuel a small army.
3. Luisa… Sounds Intense. Is she *too* much?
Look, she's not for everyone. She's... a force. She might ask you if you've eaten enough (even though you've just devoured three pizzas), or tell you your shirt is "not suitable" (happened to me, I was wearing a band tee). But trust me, it's all born of love. And honestly? She's hilarious. She'll gossip about the neighbors, give you the inside scoop on where to get the BEST sfogliatella (which she'll probably *insist* on sharing with you), and genuinely wants you to have the best possible experience. Think of her as a really enthusiastic, slightly bossy, Italian grandmother. You *will* leave feeling like part of the family. (Whether you want to or not!)
4. What are the rooms *actually* like?
Okay, they’re not… sterile. Or modern. Let’s just say they have “character.” Think high ceilings, maybe some old frescoes peeking out, possibly creaky floors, and definitely not a clinical hotel aesthetic. I stayed in a room with a tiny balcony that overlooked the street. Yes, it was noisy at night. Yes, I could hear the Vespas. But the view? The feeling of being *in* Naples? Absolutely worth it. Embrace the imperfections! (Also, bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. You’ll thank me later.) You’re not paying for luxury, you're paying for the EXPERIENCE. And that experience is a total immersion in the city.
5. Is it good for solo travelers?
ABSOLUTELY. Luisa is like a built-in companion. She'll offer suggestions, set you up with tours, and generally make sure you're not feeling lonely. She even made sure I found my way back to the B&B the first night after I got hopelessly lost (which is basically inevitable in Naples). She speaks enough English to get by, though her passionate hand gestures and expressive Italian are part of the charm. Plus, you’ll inevitably meet other guests, bonding over Luisa’s amazing breakfasts and the shared Naples experience. I met the *best* people there.
6. And for couples?
Perfect! The rooms are romantic in a slightly crumbling, charming way (see above: "character"). You'll be able to share a proper Italian coffee together, and hold hands as you get lost, again and again, it's romantic, right?! Although with Luisa, it might be a little too much *family* vibe. You won't be able to escape her opinions on your relationship, but trust me, it'll make for hilarious memories. Just be prepared to be thoroughly fed and fussed over. If you are a couple, and you hate that... well, maybe this isn't the place for you. Personally, I found it endearing.
7. What about accessibility? Is it suitable for those with mobility issues?
Okay, here we get to the honest-to-goodness downside. It’s an old building. There are stairs. Lots of stairs. And the streets around the B&B are cobblestone, and... well, they're Naples streets. The word "wheelchair-friendly" does NOT apply. If you have mobility issues, this is probably not the B&B for you. I'm sorry to say it, but it's a tough reality. It pains me to say it, because I want everyone to experience it, but it’s the truth.
8. The Food. Let's talk FOOD. Is it *really* as amazing as everyone says?
Oh. My. God. The food. I still dream of the breakfast spread. Fresh fruit, homemade pastries (Luisa's grandma makes the *best* cornetti EVER), incredible coffee, and always, ALWAYS, a little something extra. One day, she made a ricotta cake that… I swear, I almost proposed to the cake. And then there's the pizza. She knows all the best places, of course. And she will *insist* you try them. Which you should. Obey Luisa. You won't regret it. I still salivate thinking about that pizza margherita I had the first night. Or the carbonara she practically forced me to learn how to make. I was beyond full every day.
9. What's the best way to get around?
