We had a lovely week in Paola's beautiful apartment. Paola met us at the beginning and was so welcoming and knowledgable. Her home is very lovely and has everything you would need. The location is also great - we walked to the Duomo in just over 20 minutes, the tram stops outside the apartment, there is a supermarket a few minutes away which is open 24 hours. Don't miss the Piscine Bitta - an open air public pool that Paola told us about. It saved us on some VERY hot days and we had one lovely evening of swimming to the accompaniment of a jazz quartet. As it was August quite a few of the shops around were closed but Porta Romana has lots of lovely restaurants and places to sit out and chill. Recommended
