Wonderful stay in a lovely location.

Initial contact was brilliant and very helpful. Vincenzo and Giulia are lovely people and we had a very warm welcome and tour of the rooms. Both of them were accessible and friendly and a pleasure to deal with, and we had helpful recommendations about where to eat, and advice about buses etc. for our excursions.

The rooms are beautiful, like a secret apartment accessed through a door in a bookcase. We slept upstairs on the mezzanine which is accessed via a sturdy metal open-tread staircase/ladder. The mezzanine is just under the roof and can get warm, but the room has air conditioning, and there's also a fan - so this wasn't an issue.

There is also a good sized bathroom, a downstairs bedroom and a small terrace outside. The rooms (and the house itself) are decorated beautifully and Giulia's art is everywhere.

Breakfast was amazing, with freshly prepared dishes along with fruit, pastries, bread, and cake. Giulia is an excellent cook.

Giulia deserves a medal (or at the very least a mention in dispatches) for saving the day soon after our arrival when I realised that a previous passenger on the bus had kindly left their gum on the seat, and that it was now attached to my trousers. Ray took the trousers down to see if there were anything that could be done - and very kindly Giulia performed magic and returned shortly with the gum gone, which was a huge relief and much appreciated.

The property itself is off a main shopping street and it was easy to walk there from the bus station. There are great restaurants nearby, along with shops, churches, sites of antiquity and wonderful views.
