Gianni met us as agreed, in front of the garage then helped with a bag up the stairs to the apartment. He left some afternoon tea treats after going through the basics of running the apartment.
It is bigger than we envisaged, with a separate kitchen/ dining area, separate lounge as well as the bedroom, which has an aircon unit. There is a washing machine, and in July our clothes dried overnight. You can bus to town, but be sure to get precise directions to the bus stop for 1.20 pp, or walk, a brisk 25 minutes, which we found an antidote for the sore back induced by a slow walk through galleries. We thoroughly enjoyed a meal at the local restaurant 5 minutes away, recommended as favourite of Cristina and Gianni. Be sure to read the folder of suggestions on your first night.
