I am a beekeeper and so we were very happy to stay in the Bee House! It is true that Vincenzo is a great and helpful host! He helped us secure a last minute ride to the airport that saved us a lot of worry. The house is busy and full of conversation. We did not participate much in the house culture because we were at the end of our stay and quite tired. But it is a great place to meet other travelers and swap information. We enjoyed a great dinner at the Ristorante Ferro which is right around the corner. The house is centrally located for walking to almost anything you might need or want ro see. One thing that is worth noting is that there was a lot of smoking inside the house, which isn't noted very clearly in the description. Our room didn't have a window, but the smoke was not a huge bother if we kept the door closed. If you enjoy active, hostel environments you will love Vincenzo's home! Grazie mille!
