This was a real find. It was good to be somewhere with the host nearby, in a real home, not just a flat that had been done up from IKEA! Ortensia’s communication was absolutely brilliant, as was her local knowledge. Facilities and location were as described — about 20 minutes from the centre, but well located with an interesting local market less than 5 minutes walk, and at least one fabulous local restaurant, much used by local people. Our trip showed us how good it can be to stay slightly off the tourist trail — everything is cheaper and more available, and standards of food and general provision are very high.
