WOW!! If you have been visiting the palaces and monuments in Italy, and wondering how the rich, powerful and famous lived, then this is the apartment to stay at. Beautifully restored, it gives you an idea of the opulence the rich of that period lived in. The place belonged to a Pope.
The apartment was very clean and spacious and very well maintained. We are very picky travelers and this apartment went above and beyond our expectations. The refrigerator was stocked with water and a bottle of sparkling wine. It is centrally located - just 5 min walk to the Duomo. The fresh food market is 3 min to the other side.
And to top it off, I have to mention our host and owner - Giovanni. He was super attentive and helpful. Constantly at your service. He even met us at the garage and helped carry our luggage to the apartment. We asked him to reccomend a grocery store and he walked us around the area, showing us where to shop, buy wines, best bakery, good restaurants and the food market.
He was ready to help in any way. In fact, we felt guilty asking him questions because he would go ahead and do it.
Needless to say, our stay was near perfect. I would definitely stay here again.
