We just spent 4 days/nights in Naples, and found it most worthwile.

My wife and I (both 70+, only summary knowledge of Italian) stayed in
a very nice bed & breakfast in the Centro Storico, right in the middle
of things. We found the neighbourhood colourful, lively and animated,
noisy, but nothing scary about it. People generally helpful and nice.

We did visit the two major museums, the Archeological Museum and the
Capodimonte Pictures Gallery, and several cloisters and churches (Sta.
Chiara, S. Lorenzo, the Duomo etc.) We also visited the Paestum Greek
temples from Naples, using the Circumvesuviana railway.

Only negative points about Naples: the crazy traffic (don't take a
car) and the lack of green spaces; no parks etc. in the center.

Still, in our opinion definitely worthwile!
