Difficult to know where to start. A beautiful apartment in a lovely old building, but totally up to date and styled with a designer's eye. The location couldn't be better - just paces from the funicular, handy for so many fantastic eating places yet utterly peaceful. There was tea, coffee and kitchen essentials left out, including oil and balsamic vinegar, which was perfect with some local bread and wine in the early evening. The ipod dock in the kitchen made it a home from home and I was wowed by the clever design of the shower room (I shall steal some of those ideas!).
Lorenzo's friend (I'm sorry, I never did catch your name) was utterly welcoming, meeting me at the funicular and being there to check out at the end, always kind and smiley. Thank you!
