Paolo was kind enough to meet us and let us in. We were exhausted, and he told us the pertinent things and left us to rest. The place was small but had plenty of room for 2 people.
The kitchen had a little fridge, stove, spices, towels, dishes, glasses, utensils, an eat in table, coffee maker, tea kettle…it was well stocked. Exactly what we were looking for to have some meals in.
The bathroom had toilet paper, plenty of towels, wash cloths, shampoo, and body wash. The shower was tight, but hey…it’s Europe!
The bedroom was small, but the bed was very comfortable. There were plenty of comfy pillows, extra blankets if needed, tv, thoughtful bedside lighting, and giant windows for airflow. There were mosquitoes that got in, but strangely we weren’t really bothered by them. I did notice bug repellent was also provided if needed.
The aesthetic of the place was little pieces of the owners’ travels. It wasn’t fancy, but we weren’t after extravagant. We were after clean and functional and we totally got that and more. The ONLY issue is the noise. You are in a busy, little hub. You will hear motor scooters, people, car horns, trains, and motorcycles pretty much all day or night. However, the bus stop is steps away or you can walk a little over a mile to get to the Duomo. We frequented the local coffee shops (highly recommend!!) The Antica Bottega Del Pane was our morning hang out. It was steps away near the bus stop. They were so incredibly kind and patient with our terrible Italian.
All in all, we’d stay again in a heartbeat. Choose this place if you want an authentic experience.
