The apartment has amazing views of Isola Bella and a ten min walk (down 200 steps to the beach and up to town which is fine if you’re young and fit). If you have mobility issues then this isn’t the apartment for you.
Accommodation is fairly basic but it was clean and had all required amenities. Gianfranco communicated with us well throughout and helped with our check in/ carrying suitcases down the steps.
Probably best to get dropped off by the taxi at the gate below the apartment rather than from via guardiola above. This again would require info to know this before hand from the host etc.
