Napoli - living in Paradise - villa Ocsia






I did not stayed in Napoli. Decided to have a base in a small town near this hectic place. San Giorgio a Cremano was the best choice I could ever do.
The house I stayed was ex farm house - I wish I had one like that - and it can be a farm house. :-)
It is so interesting how the buildings are designed here. When you walk in the street - there are just doors, doors ... But it is surface. When they get opened - there are small spaces - small or big patios with gardens. I got used to check what is behind the doors. (It could be a nice photo project on private spaces in Napoli).

Imagine - straight from the noise of the streets you are welcomed by silence and peace of the interiors.
When I arrived the first time - just got breathless. It is difficult to describe how I felt.

I stayed in so many places and I though that nothing can surprise me ...
And here I am - standing in the middle of the patio and saying - I am in paradise.

Additionally, I was welcomed by Irina in Polish. Her father is Polish and mother Russian. They live still in Lvov while she and her husband here in Napoli.

What more you need when you are far away from home?
For me- peaceful place and people you can connect with. I had here all what I needed.

I am so glad that Walter and his family created such space.
