We arrived at Grazia's place with some bad luck: the only day of bad (awful even) weather of our two week stay in Italy. It got really bad: storm, hail, thunder. Unfortunately the older building lost electricity and water pressure because of the storm, and it took some time for Grazia's husband to come over and fix things. Because of the storm and the electricity issues we had to unplug things like the oven and the fridge, and we couldn't use some lights, which was less than ideal. However these are extreme circumstances and Grazia really did her best to fix every issue! It only took some time for her to reply to some of my questions for help, which was a bit worrying when we were in the apartment and there was no electricity for about 45 minutes (and no candles or other sources of light).
Still, the apartment is absolutely beautiful, well located near the airport and close to plenty of good restaurants, in a charming little town. And Grazia and her family are lovely people. A mixed experience but mostly out of their control!
