Tasso - Naples
 print this page
Accommodates 4 — 2+ Bedrooms
— 2 Baths
Naples is built on three levels:
(a) sea level, (b) up on a bluff, and (c) on several ridges
between sea level and the plateau above. Via Tasso is an elegant
boulevard lined with upscale low-rise apartment buildings,
many dating from the turn of the century. Our flat lies in
a building prominently set on an outcropping of the ridge.
After satisfying the doorman
that you are respectable, you take an elevator up to the 5th
floor. As you enter the flat, you immediately notice two things:
first, the relative quiet, and second, the utterly splendid
views encompassing Vesuvius, the sea, Capri, and the entire
city of Naples spread beneath.
Full of light, the apartment
contains a comfortable living and separate dining room, plus
one large matrimonial bedroom, one fine but smaller twin bedroom,
kitchen, and 2 full baths. (Another single bedroom is normally
kept locked, where the owner stores her personal belongings;
this bedroom may be made available at extra cost, possibly
for a 5th person or if two of you prefer not to share a bedroom.)
Water pressure isn't the greatest, especially at 8 or 9 am
when the whole building is taking a bath or shower, but guests
have uniformly assured us that this is a relatively minor
matter.
Perhaps Tasso's best feature
is a panoramic terrace eminently suitable for alfresco wining,
dining, and lounging. This flat is its owner's principal residence
most of the time. She is interested in renting only a few
times a year, for no more than two weeks at a time. She wants
to limit numbers of guests to 4, with no small children. In
our opinion, the apartment is ideal for two couples or for
a small group of friends.
The owner of the Tasso flat
has proved to be a total gem. For a reasonable fee, she'll
conduct tours of both Naples itself and the environs. Guests
report that she is a wonderful human being who enhanced their
stay immeasurably.
Think about it. We consider
Via Tasso to be one of our most exciting new listings.
