Good communication from the host, Sylvia, explaining that she would be away but putting me in touch with a friend, Tiziana, who made contact in advance to make arrangements to take us to the property and guide us round the facilities. Overall very helpful and welcoming. We being two gay men it felt particularly welcoming that Tiziana recognised this and made a point of demonstrating an open mind about sleeping arrangements.

The house is a gem, particularly its upper floors. It is stylish, comfortable and well-equipped with a particularly good range of equipment in the kitchen. Very comfortable beds and a selection of bedding to choose from.

It is well located near the Piazza del Liberta at the foot of the old city. Easy to park the car within 5 minutes walk. Many very good and interesting restaurants within a few minutes walk. We particularly enjoyed getting foodstuffs from nearby greengrocer and salumeria and having a leisurely breakfast on the terrace at the top of the house.
