I stayed in the apartment for 4 weeks in September 2020. I'm italian, English isn't my mothertongue.
First of all
It is important for me to keep the review for Elly and that for the apt separate.
For Elly, the judgment is more than excellent, and I share all the comments in the reviews.
The apartment
First I write the great advantages, and then some minor critical points that you don’t find in the other reviews.
Advantages
Many advantages are already described; I don’t repeat them. I only add some new details and aspects.
The location is great.
The rooms are tastefully decorated. It is the owners' holiday home. It is a fully equipped apartment, nothing is missing. For example, there are two sunbeds for the garden, a shopping trolley, three umbrellas, shoe cream and much more. You can even find books in English, French, Italian: travel guides, literature, art. Very interesting books!
The apt is spacious, the two bright bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house: If you are in one bedroom, you don't hear one talking loudly in the other bedroom. This is a great advantage for several people living in the apt.
The walls are very thick (it's an old house), the neighbors upstairs can only be heard if their iron falls on the floor. You don’t hear the neighbors on the right and on the left at all.
The internal garden is also quite peaceful: sometimes, during meal times, you can hear the exclamations of the chef from the restaurant next door (amusing, if you understand italian!) But you don't hear the restaurant guests, as there the tables are on the other side of the restaurant.
The garden is mostly in the shade, so it is cool even during extremely hot days.
In the garden you find plants of lemongrass rosemary and mint!
Even when it is very hot outside it'is not necessary to turn on the air conditioner in the flat.
Minor critical points
There are many knick-knacks, you have to move them if you want to place your stuff.
There is only a wardrobe for clothes, it’s in the big bedroom, the one facing the street.
In the smaller bedroom there are only coat hooks and little place for storage.
The living room is very dark; you need to keep the light on even during the day.
The furniture is perhaps thirty years old or more: there are many little and small signs of wear.
Two more substantial damages of the wall will certainly be repaired.
The chairs and the table in the garden are not protected, so the surface is damaged (put a cloth on them to solve the problem).
The small bed (140 centimeters) has a very firm mattress; I put a quilt on it, so I slept well.
Sleeping in the large bedroom can be difficult if you go to bed early, are a light sleeper and keep the window open. There are two restaurants with sidewalk tables in the immediate area ...
Two rusty bicycles are stored in the garden, which contrasts with the pleasantness of the rest of the apartment.
