The location of A&A Massara is excellent - an old , cobbled street that leads to a lovely square with two great cafes at the upper end, and a great museum, cheese shop, and wine shop at the lower end. It's a short walk to the majestic upper city. We stayed in the top floor apartment. It's easy to see that it was remodeled by a artist, the owner Andrea, it has both charm and functionality. The building is filled with the beautiful paintings and sculpture of two generations, so it feels like living in an artist's atelier, or a museum. Andrea is pleasant and kind, it was a pleasure to meet him. We did hear the intermittent car tires on the cobbled street below, but soon it began to sound like ocean surf breaking - otherwise it is dead silent. We would stay there again because of the many good things we enjoyed about it.
