Beautiful and authentic! Very good value for money – we definitely recommend it.
Maurizio was very responsive throughout tho we did not meet him - his wife and kids were there to welcome us. Check-in and check-out times were really flexible and we really appreciate it that he allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment on the day of departure. For COVID, hand sanitizer+ wipes and face masks were also provided.
Location is great - close to centre of town but not in the middle of it so that one could still drive close by and park easily. Maurizio was helpful in directing us to the on-street parking which we found easily.
Apartment is very spacious and stylishly decorated and is exactly what was shown on the pictures. Well equipped kitchen, even with a washing machine (tho we did not use). Rain shower was in the shower room was very comfortable. Apartment was clean though we found the floor of the living room / bed room to be slightly "sandy" - could be because of the clay(?) flooring. The apartment does get a little warm but Maurizio provided 5 (i think) fans, which helped.
2 things that might just be because of luck and not fully in Maurizio's control and therefore, we have not complained to him during our stay:
- 2 lights in the living room no longer worked - living room was slightly dark
- there were on-going renovations on the level below - it was not too much of a bother as works were only done during the day and we were out most of the day anyway.
2 other points for future guests would be:
- the apartment is on level 2 with narrow stairs, be prepared to be able to carry your luggage up the stairs (with a strong bf there is no problem ;) )
- there are mosquitoes in the apartment - Maurizio provided a mosquito repellent device. If you are prone to mosquito bites like me, look for it and switch it on whenever you are in the apartment. My bf did not have a problem.
