This a great home base to visit the area! Cristoforo was working out of town but his mother was there to assist me. I was cycling my first day in Italy and it was tough. I had notified of my check in time as 3 but it changed to 7-8 due to my challenges. Christoforo gave me his mother Maria's number but, with in inexperience, I forgot I needed the country code so the number didn't work. Likewise she didn't have my country code. Then my phone died at 8pm 5 k away! Kind strangers ended up bringing me there. I was exhausted. Maria greeted me with such cheer even though I had kept her waiting as she had no idea of extended my check in. She took me to a cute bar and fed me, made sure I was comfortable, my bath towels were heated and showed me the bakery for the morning! She was so kind.
I stayed two days and she assisted me with many things including helping me arrange my train and showing me bike route. Really, I can't say enough about her incredible level of hospitality. She went above and beyond.
The room was a little musty but with the heat on it disappeared. I loved the outdoor kitchen, shower had great pressure, bed was very comfy and I enjoyed the sun on the rooftop patio. I only wish I hadn't been so much work for her. I'll never forget her hospitality.
