You can't go wrong with this apartment. Although it is quite small, it is beautifully appointed with many amenities and is spotlessly clean! Federica has provided everything you might need while traveling -- shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, body lotion, extra TP, even disposable razors! There is an easy-to-use automatic coffee machine (Lavazza) with capsules for a quick espresso or lungo. Cold water awaits you in the fridge!
As far as sightseeing, you can't go wrong in Citta Alta! And Federica has available many pamphlets about all your options.
The apartment itself is a quick walk to the Funicular. Or, if you prefer walking, there are numerous routes via staircases (or roads) down the hill to Citta Bassa -- a 20" or so walk. A bus goes back and forth between the railroad station in Citta Bassa and the Funicular stop in Citta Alta. There is also a bus that circumnavigates Citta Alta with stops along the way.
Along the main (albeit touristy) road - Via Bartolomeo Colleoni -- in the center of Citta Alta you'll find many restaurants (both fancy and casual) -- I suggest any of Damimmo's 3 restuarants varying from more fancy to quite casual. Also Il Fornaio is great for a cafeteria style pizza place -- the pizza selections is amazing and there are some sweets options also -- very inexpensive. Order at the counter and eat at one of the tables. Carmen Gelato is highly recommended. For pastries, cookies, etc. try either Tresoldi on the main drag OR Nessi on the corner to the right just after emerging from the Funicular station.
Great place to visit!! Thanks!!
