A beautiful place to stay. The Citta Alta (Upper City) is made for pedestrians; we hardly went to the Citta Bassa (Lower City) as it was so full of roads, vehicles and noise. This flat is on the main street with most of the shops and restaurants on it. There is one 'minimarket' generally open till 8 with most essential groceries, and even two pharmacies, within walking distance; we also spotted two toy shops, various clothes shops, even a shop where we could buy nail scissors. There is a beautiful playground, and when that gets boring, we found the kids got a lot out of the nearby castle museums, with plenty of stairs to climb. As to the accommodation itself, the views are great, the flat is stylish and well equipped, and the garden is the only one we spotted in the area (at least the only one visible from the street). I am sensitive to cigarette smoke and always check for mentions of that in the reviews when booking somewhere, and am pleased to report that there is no such problem in the flat (though people do smoke in the streets). Do keep an eye on your kids; there are some fall risks, e.g. a wall at the playground that it is possible to fall from, or if they stray too far from a path on to the grass at one of the castles, then it gets very steep (at least 45 degrees). But with that in mind, we had a very, very special holiday here.
