We didn't have the chance to meet Raffaele, but he was super responsive and helpful via text and calls during our whole stay. But we did meet his lovely mum, as well as Manuel, his brother, with whom we had a great chat about the history of the area and whom we met at his hip bar "Km0" the next day. Meeting him alone made our whole stay worthwhile!
The room was gorgeous, 5min by car from the marina, and was stocked with everything needed to make tea and coffee and a basic breakfast of crispbread and butter&jam. All in all we'd definitely recommend and hope we can come again for more than just 2 days!
