My rating for this venue is of the highest. Three aspects, hosting, location and facility all rate as excellent.
The hosting of Rosanna and Giuseppe was outstanding. They live elsewhere and this is their townhouse. Rosanna picked us up from the train around 10pm and drove us to the venue. A big plus for English speaking travellers is that Rosanna is a native English speaker. As an experienced host she covered every aspect of our information needs clearly and completely.
The location could not be faulted for those wanting easy access to the old city as it is located just a block or two from the main city Piazza and main street, street markets and local bus station. Central train station is a solid 20 min walk but has a bus to the station 5 min away. The venue is in the old town district with narrow roads and laneways buzzing with restaurants and one block from a 13 th century castle.
The facility was beautifully clean, comfortable and meticulously supplied with everything needed for the traveller including free Wi-Fi. Housed as a modern unit in an old building (I think 1700s) the outside looks it's age but that just adds to the charm. Inside is airy, light and spacious. It has kitchen, bathroom, lounge room and double bedroom. Large and comfortable. For those with mobility issues be aware that there are 41 steps from street level to the upper floor unit. For luggage the unit has an electric winch to lift from the street level to the balcony - a big plus.
I would recommend this place without hesitation to my best friend. Thanks to Rosanna and Giuseppe.
