Francesco is a kind and very responsive host. The apartment is clean and has all the basics. It is a bit of a climb up the hill to the apartment, then up the stairs, and up to the bed loft for someone my age—I am 70. It is also a local neighborhood that can be noisy. But I like that. And I slept well every night. I walked 10 minutes to a good grocer and cooked my dinner. Ten minutes the other way brought me to the center of town. Local tour guides are great and I recommend a day trip over to Syracuse.
