Alessandro's apartment was located in a beautiful small village away from the bustling city centre. Its located up a hill that overlooks the city with excellent mountain views through the windows (it's the first thing you see when you wake up).
The house is newly done up with beautiful exposed timber roof with a small yet cozy kitchen/dinning area that has all the utensils that we needed for a quick meal. There's also a little sofa there to take a break after a long day being out exploring.
The toilet was spacious and clean and had all the items anyone could need with a hair dryer as well as heated towel stands. The floor was really clean and the shower area had good doors that didn't flood the rest of the toilet.
As a host, Alessandro tried his best to communicate with us. However, our Italian and his English proved to be a challenge for us. Though it did not stop us from having wonderful morning coffee sessions with him along with the Google Translate. Thanks Alessandro for the wonderful coffee!
We really had a wonderful stay at his apartment and would strongly recommend anyone who is looking for a place to stay outside of the City. However, note that the busses end relatively early at 10pm (we almost missed our bus because of a prolonged dinner). There are however an excellent restaurant just slightly down the road.
