Annamaria was very welcoming and always ready to help answer our questions and requests. We were lucky to visit when the city's palazzo residents opened their private courtyards to the public. Of course this meant sharing the courtyard with everyone else for one day, but it also gave us the opportunity to see all the others, and realise that this courtyard is something very special.

There is a bit of dust and a slight damp problem on the one of the ceilings, but of course it's a very old building so it was not a major concern, and it was beautifully furnished. The apartment had everything we needed except a laundry, and that was available not too far away (and just 15 euros for a full service wash, dry and fold!)
