If you need a break from the stresses and strains of daily life come and stay at Giovanna's place, it's wonderful. The apartment is better than the photos suggest and we did very little during our stay except relax. When you arrive you park outside the historic city walls and walk to the apartment. This is a good thing as it means you hardly hear any traffic noise, only the comings and goings of the boats in the harbour. The public beach is a short 5 minute walk away through the meandering lanes of the old town. The beach is clean and wasn't busy during our stay at the beginning of July. There are dozens of restaurants to choose from or alternatively, like we did, you can walk to the local store and cook in. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and we enjoyed siting on the roof terrace for dinner watching the world go by below. Giovanna's place is a real antidote to stressful modern living and was just what we needed. Go, you won't be disappointed. We hope to visit again in the future too.
