We were the hosts first guests and absolutely loved our stay. Sabrina, her son Alessio and daughter Sara were the most friendly hosts iv encountered so far. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and greeted us at the station (this included them waiting patiently through a 2 hour delay) . I couldn't have asked for a better first experience of Italian hospitality! The apartment was newly and very tastefully done up, very comfortable and was perfectly situated in the middle of the old city, close to all the action (the duomo was a 7 minute walk) and easily walkable from the train and bus stations. There are lots of restaurants around the apartment and I would definitely be returning for another visit!
