The apartment was immaculate, nicely furnished/decorated, spacious, and in a terrific location, in a quiet setting, yet a five minute walk to historical sights, restaurants and shops. It was warm with comfy beds, and the amenities like the fully equipped kitchen, towels and shampoo were generous. The place really exceeded our expectations. Our host, Patrizia, couldn't have been lovelier. She contacted us before the trip, greeted us and provided some refreshments upon our arrival and even offered to shop for us. She gave us a map and made us feel at home. When we departed she helped us with local transportation, and made sure we were awake at 4:30 a.m. to catch our car. We would recommend this apartment and our host to anyone, even those accustomed to staying in luxury hotels. Our stay in this apartment made us feel like locals - very cool !!
