As a solo, female traveller I felt totally safe and secure at Altana, and my hosts were good with communication prior to my trip and when I was there. The location of Altana is perfect, slap bang in the middle of the Citta Alta, on one of the main cobbled streets, and right next door to the wonderful Tresoldi, where I got my breakfast/lunch from every day. My favourite thing was the views though, from the lounge, bedroom and bathroom, but also from the little shared terrace. I'd recommend taking earplugs, due to early bells and in case anyone next door is noisy. I also recommend eating at DiMamma down the road and Carmen ice cream! I hope to return to Altana x
