Claudia was a wonderful host! She and her husband Marco welcomed me like I was family and truly created the authentic Italian experience for me! The room and private bath that was for my use were extremely clean, spacious, and comfortable. The terrace that I accessed from my room was a great place to relax, surrounded by beautiful flowers and lemon trees! Every morning I woke up to a fabulous breakfast, an overabundant variety (everything from yogurt and juice and coffee, to a basket of pastries and fresh fruit) that left me totally satisfied! Claudia went out of her way to add personal little touches - fresh water in my room 24/7, warm milk to go with my coffee - and she gave me wonderful advice on which sights to see (grouping them in reasonable sets) and, more importantly, exactly how to get there. When I left, I felt like I had made a wonderful friend, not just stayed with someone renting a room!
