Sara was so helpful on our arrival as our flight was much delayed with us arriving really late but she was there with a smile to let us in and to tell us about the house and the area. Thank you Sara!!

Sara's English is very good which was a relief as our Italian is poor and so communication was easy and she was always quick to answer any questions we had during our stay via email.

The house itself is lovely, having been artistically fitted out and decorated, the facilities are all good and it was very clean. The neighbours were all quiet and, with the house being set back from the street, this meant we heard no noise at all. The house has air-con but we didn't need it as it was nice and cool even on hot days and the wifi was fast and reliable. The bed was really comfortable and the mezzanine bedroom cosy which we liked but note the ceiling is low and it is accessed via fairly steep stairs.

Pigneto itself is a very good area for bars and restaurants with quite a few within a 2-3 minute walk, so much so that we spent a lot of time in the immediate vicinity. We especially liked La Santeria which had friendly staff who spoke good English and made us welcome. We didn't eat there but had many cocktails, beers and wines which were all excellent. I'm assured the grappa was also good but it was too hardcore for me... Another favourite place was Rosti where the food was excellent as was the beer and wine.

In summary we had a great time and we would heartily recommend both Pigneto and Sara's house.
