Serenella welcomed us to her home and was a good host. she was very kind and bought fresh oranges and lemons for us from the orchard next door and gave us some home-made jam, delicious! she also lent us her umbrella when it rained, which was good.
we enjoyed staying in her flat and didn't mind the climb up the hill to reach her place. we found it quiet and clean.
the district was working class and typical, which was interesting, although the streets were dirty and pavements broken. But we found good food in some of the inexpensive restaurants on the main street. we particularly liked the restaurant opposite the Caserna Garibaldi, where the food was excellent.
it was easy to travel, with plenty of buses going downtown, and not too far to walk.
