We stayed for a week at Claudia's place and had such a great holiday. Claudia texted us on the way and met us at the apartment. She was friendly, frank and helpful. She also texted us midweek to check everything was OK, which it was. The apartment is lovely, tastefully decorated and furnished: our kids loved their room and bathroom, and the little terrace upstairs is a gem because the roof tops stretch away to distant views. A sunny place for breakfast watching the swifts sweep over and through the church domes and spires.
The location is superb, away from the crowds but close enough to walk to the city centre, and the bus stops are just around the corner. You can hire bikes a couple of streets away, and bakeries, grocers restaurants and cafes are very near. I must mention La Sorbetteria down the road whose popularity speaks for itself - lemon and sage sorbet... for example.
