I'm curious to know if anyone has been there to spend even just a few hours. I am thinking of making it a stop to locate relatives, but when I look at it through Google maps street view it's pretty disappointing.

Thanks. I'm most interested in information from anyone who may have been to Montella.The question about Naples was really just an aside for anyone who wanted to share their +/- experience.
