I didn't meet Maria on the first day of our stay but her wonderful daughter was very helpful with restaurant and local tips. One of our best meals of our Italy trip was recommended by her - a rustic osteria just a three minute walk away. Maria herself is warm and hospitable, as are her two doggos! And the location is excellent: A great bakery just opposite the place, some unique shopping gems along the same street, and a ten-minute walk to the main square.
