Giovanni’s place is simply wonderful. You’re directly opposite the fish and veg/fruit market (don’t worry there is no smell; the streets are cleaned with soap) and market closes at around 2:00pm. Hive of activity from around 7-2. You can get the most delicious prawns, olives, oysters, sword fish and other local delicacies for a fraction of the price of a local supermarket (and it’s fresher!)
Giovanni is super attentive and tells you how to work everything when he meets you and he is so sweet he bought us a pistachio cake that was delicious!!
You’re near Piazza Duomo (4mins walk away) and in whilst you’re in the centre, the flat feels more detached from it.
The building the flat is in is 300 yrs old, but you’d not think that inside. All mod cons. Spectacular finish, high ceilings, air con, kitchen + utensils and dark wood furniture. With beautiful marble and stone laid floors.
I wish I didn’t have to go back, this flat made the last two days of my holiday an Italian odyssey.
I’ll definitely be back in the future.
