We were made to feel very welcome by a friend of Giulia. The apartment was much larger than we were expecting and had everything you need.
It is a 15minute walk into town if you have young children that can make it a long day as you can't park any closer. I suggest you drive out of town if you need groceries etc.
There are peacocks and birds in cages below the pool which my kids totally loved. The man upstairs has quite a few friendly dogs that he had no problems giving access to our area. My kids loved that but we didn't so much ,as had to keep the door closed otherwise they would come in and join us for every meal!
