Even though we didn't actually meet her, Giulia was a great host. She kept us informed of everything we needed to know and answered our questions promptly. It was a clean, light and beautifully presented apartment with a balcony with wonderful views over the sea and countryside.
The only downside was that the walls were very thin and we could hear the occupants in the neighbouring apartments very clearly. The apartment is one of 6 in the building and different families were coming and going throughout the week. I am someone who really needs peace and quiet and, even for me, it was not a huge problem and it didn't spoil our enjoyment of the place. It just depends on who your neighbours are, I guess. The other thing was that there was amplified karaoke going on in the nearest town every night - starting up around 9pm and going on till after midnight. Again, not a huge problem and part of the deal.
Overall, this apartment presented great value for money and we will have happy memories of our holiday there for years to come.
