Our wonderful host Manuela and her family contributed to a fantastic introduction to Italy. They were so friendly and welcoming. The apartment is in a beautiful old building on the first floor. The cupboards and fridge were stacked with essentials. It was clean and very comfortable. One night we had a few problems with the electricity supply and they couldn't do enough to make sure it was restored. Manuela's mother then brought us some cooked fish because they thought we were inconvenienced - which we weren't. The apartment is centrally located close to the old city and the station and is close to restaurants and small supermarkets. Manuela's parents insisted on driving us to the station and even bought us coffee before we left. We felt like members of their family and that we were leaving home. I can't recommend these hosts highly enough.
