Riccardo and his mother Patrizia, made me feel most welcome from the very moment I walked in the door. They showed me where everything was and how things worked and had stocked all sorts of goodies as welcome gifts. The apartment is palatial, beautifully decorated, perfectly maintained, sparklingly cleaned and equipped with everything you might need to get by more than adequately. They were unstinting in their willingness to be of help at anytime and almost immediately, always with a smile and reassurance that it was no bother at all. Truly more hospitable
hosts one could not have wished for. The location is at most a 10 minute
walk from all the main sights and in a city with such narrow, streets, choked with noisy traffic and people it was a relatively quiet oasis away from all the roar. I cannot think of enough superlatives to recommend Casa di Viola and it's wonderful hosts! Small aside: my mobile was out of order and Riccardo installed a wall phone so that I could stay in touch with him for emergencies. Mille Grazie cara famiglia Ceccotti! Stefano di Vancouver.
