Wow! The view and patio is amazing. The terrace alone is why we booked it, and it was wonderful to enjoy a meal or snack each day while we watched the sunset over the basilica. In person, it looks HUGE! The flowers outside were lovely and there are plenty of yummy places nearby (even in august when most of Italy is on vacation). The air conditioning worked well and there was plenty of hot water. The library room even has a copy of Rick Steves travel book for Italy, which helped us plan our days. The best part of all was Francesca setting up hotel transfers for us, as it was very easy to find after we landed and took the stress off of us about how to get to the airport. The TV also had Netflix, which was a nice touch. I highly recommend! Book now before it is gone!
