Barbara is an exceptional host, and this is an outstanding apartment – clean, stylish, quiet, modern and comfortable – as well as ideally situated as a retreat from everyday life. Its riverfront location gives it a rare serenity, especially in this part of Italy.
Unlike so many AirBnBs we've visited over the years, this one feels like someone's actual vacation home. The furnishings are all stylish and modern. The kitchen is very well equipped and fitted with higher-end appliances, which made self-catering a breeze. And despite the unseasonably warm temperatures outside, the apartment's powerful air conditioning more than compensated. In short, we would have no hesitation staying here again.
We found Barbara to be incredibly responsive to our queries, and her suggestions for things to do in the area were all hugely successful. She even went above and beyond in purchasing a high chair days before our visit to accommodate our toddler.
My partner enjoyed a full day at the Terme, which I imagine is the major draw to this area. Further, San Pellegrino offers an abundance of other diversions, not least its amazing Art Nouveau architecture, its lovely footpaths along the river, and the stunning landscape of jagged hills surrounding the town. Worth a detour!
