Our stay in Antonio's place was just superb!! We stayed in the heart of Napoli and his house was absolutely grand with all facilities. We felt like Royal Guests and the neighborhood gave us such a close look into the throbbing life of Napoli. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to cover Mt. Vesuvious, Herculean and Pompeii...all in a day., not to forget the numerous churches and archaeological site....and that too without burning a hole in our pocket. Thank god he didn't suggest tours!! He is what one would expect of a person from Napoli...very energetic, expressive and very warm. One becomes comfortable with him immediately and can ask him for help. We have decided that in case we visit Naples again, we are definitely staying at his place surrounded with all bustling life and energy of Naples around us. Wish you all the very best Antonio...please keep us the good work. Ciao. Warm Regards, Sanjeev

We thank Chantal for being such a beautiful, warm, caring and positive hose. She stayed in touch with us even before we began our journey and hand-held us through our journey till her doorstep. Her house was a warm and positive haven and we enjoyed sitting with her in her living room and talking to her of the local way of life and things to see around the city. We would definitely like to stay with her in case we visit Milan again. She even took the trouble of taking us to a good eatery nearby. People like Chantal give homestay a good name to go to. Thanks again Chantal for making our Italy trip begin on such a good note. Warm Regards, Sanjeev

I would not recommend this host. We ended up not staying on his house. First Maurizio was not in the country when we arrived. He gave us another number to contact. Our call to that number went unanswered. We never got a return call from anyone to confirm we had reached safetly or not. On non receipt of any return call. We took a call and checked in elsewhere since we were not sure we were welcome at his house any more. A very very disappointing experience where the host showed no initiative in ensuring his guests were safe and reached his house without hassles.

Varuni and her caretaker were very hospitable but I am afraid I had not factored the following while booking my stay at her place: 1. The washroom was not attached to the room hence it was a bit bothersome going out of the room and walking to it. 2. There was no Air conditioner in the room and I tossed and turned in the March heat most of the night. 3. The mattress was very very soft. I almost sank into it. Sleeping was difficult. However Varuni was more than helpful and even exchanged my dollars. Thanks for that little help from her on a Sunday. The breakfast too was wholesome and nice. The house is not very far from the central hub of Colombo, Fort Railway Station. And last but not the least, hers is a very tastefully done up house and is aesthetically very nice and is also very very clean. Hope this honest review helps. Regards, Sanjeev

Very nice. The Air conditioner was god sent during my visit...and the attached washroom was very clean and nice.....incidentally in many places the washrooms are not attached to the room which can making use of them pretty tiresome. A very hospitable and nice family to chat up with and share so many stories with. If I come to Colombo again I will stay at their place again albeit it is a bit far from Fort railway station....I would highly recommend Ms. Kumari. She is very sensitive, warm and caring. Thank you.
