Andrea is the current owner and caretaker of a building that came down through his family. He has updated and decorated it so as to bring out it's elegance. I loved the vaulted ceiling in the bedroom and the shutters. The front door even had shutters within the shutters. Being there I felt like a romantic writer. Andrea was very personable and helpful. In addition to the ways hosts generally help he also drove me to the airport at 4am. When I protested he said it was on the way to going fishing. It's a charming place to relax and clear ones mind.
