Great place to stay if you're looking for some peace and quiet and want to enjoy walking along the Italian coast, the time of year I was there was the perfect weather to go hiking (late October) The apartment was wonderful too, a little outside the Village of Mattinata but easily accessible by foot. Perfect hosts, they picked me up from the Village and dropped me off at the bus stop when it was time to leave, left me with some fruit and a little evening meal ( I arrived on Sunday, when the shops are all closed) and some of their fantastic olive oil, which they also produce. Made friends with the farm cats and dogs pretty quickly too! I couldn't have asked for more (except some extra days there!)
