Anna's place was lovely. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, full of character and very well equipped. We arrived late at night with two sleepy children. Anna's friend Florenza waited for us, showed us where to park and how everything worked in the house. A bottle of wine, some biscuits and milk were lovely touches, as well as all the essentials in the kitchen and the bathrooms. No need to shop for salt and hand wash! Anna sent us a very useful list of recommendations prior to our trip, so we knew where to buy groceries, go for dinner, get great wine, ice cream etc. The children loved the tennis table and we enjoyed slow brunches in the garden under the big umbrella. Bliss!
The beach umbrella was very useful too! It was very convenient to be in the old city centre with everything on our doorstep, and only a short drive away from beautiful beaches. The only thing to remember is that the streets really are narrow, so take Anna's advice seriously and rent the smallest car you can!
