Maria's place is extraordinary. It has everything stated in the description and in previous reviews -- very stylish decorating and structurally a particularly interesting space. I have stayed in Casa Bertiera before and have happily returned. It is toasty warm in winter (I was just there in early January) and comfortably cool in summer (I spent a month there two summers ago). Maria is very thoughtful and kind and a pleasure to chat with. Her place is absolutely spotless. She provides lovely snacks, coffee and tea, or you can do your own shopping at the Conad literally 15 metres down the street. The flat is centrally located (a 10-minute walk from the railroad station or the Airbus stop) and surrounded by delightful coffee bars and restaurants. I absolutely love staying there and am looking forward to returning soon.
