Francesco's place was great. Everything was as we expected from the info, pictures, and reviews. We were met and welcomed by the host himself and he couldn't have been more helpful. The place was clean and had everything we needed. It is well equipped so if we'd had to stay in a lot, we would've been comfortable and we think this would be a great thing for quite a young family. As it was, we had wonderful weather and were able to get out and about quite a lot, in this way it's a great base for exploring. However, unless you're planning to stay close to the apartment and visit the beach, you really do need a car. Our departure time complicated our plans to hire a car at the airport so we took advantage of Francesco's offer to rent his Suzuki (the little beast :-)), which was a great little run-around, and we were able to use a slightly more comfortable car for a couple of longer journeys.

As has already been pointed out in other reviews, the hammock is a nice extra touch. It's a nice way to keep the kids happy. :-)

We really do recommend this place and we are already thinking about a return trip. Thanks Francesco.
