Nicola is a great host as he preps all the information you need even before your arrival - transportation info, restaurant recommendations, places to visit, etc. He even makes us a cup of coffee before we depart on a long hours flight home.
Do note that you need to take a flight of stairs up to his home but he's very much willing to help you with your luggages. Yes, there's a church right next to his home but the bell didn't bother us as most of the time we are up before it rang & we enjoy the sound of it during our breakfast at his terrace.
