I cannot speak highly enough of Francesca as a host. She takes great pride in ensuring her guest's comfort, to the last detail e.g a sewing kit provided and the beds are very comfortable which is an essential for us.
We spent 25 days in La Casa di Silvestro and loved the peace and tranquility of the apartment. It is graced by Francesca's personal treasures which reflect her interests in the art world.
I delighted in finding new items each day in and around the apartment and was particularly happy to find Chet Baker and other musicians we know and love on her playlist.
The apartment is maintained at a particularly high standard and is sparkling clean.
The friendliness of the local merchants was very helpful to we non Italian speaking couple. We made a point of visiting to say farewell to those whom we traded with during our time in the neighbourhood. The location of the apartment suited us very well as we like to take a long term metro ticket and there were buses a tram and metro station within 5 minutes walk. There is also a large fresh food covered market place where the fish is wonderful and many varieties of fresh food available. Francesca will let you know where it is if needed.
We loved our time
