We were lucky that Franco was staying nearby during our rental period and could help us as needed. We appreciated the bottle of wine and bowl of fruit that welcomed us and his time to tell us how the appliances, etc. worked. The apartment has a beautiful, private view of the sea and is airy and well furnished. It is quite remote and a car is necessary for groceries and restaurants. There are numerous steps inside and outside as the apartment is built below street level on the side of a cliff. Unfortunately, the electricity frequently went off (which included the heating) and the hot water at times was not available. The apartment was generally clean but the kitchen area and dishes needed a thorough cleaning before we could use them.
