Manuel's house is ideally located about a 10min drive from the old town. I rented a car to explore the region (driving was easy, no stress, low-season), so being just outside the city was very convenient to me. No worries about parking. I also enjoyed being in a big house with a yard. Btw the bedroom and bathroom are VERY spacious and comfortable.
It was really like staying with family, and a great opportunity to practice my Italian! And Elio, the little dog was a lot of fun.
Luckily for me Manuel had some time available and he was my guide for different excursions in the city and on the sea side. He knows a lot the region. Thanks for your generosity Manuel! I really hope to see you again soon! Stay in touch!
