Place was cozy and absolutely beautiful - located on the top floor, you get the first sunbeams in the morning. Giovanni reached to us in advance to set up our arrival. He was really helpful with local tips and places to visit/eat. They also offered a transfer from/to the airport which we used during returning to the airport - really helpful (payed extra to the driver).
Most of the sightseeing sites were in walkable distance - so it is really up to you if you want to use public transport or just enjoy walking.
Local tax was collected after arrival in cash.
