We truly enjoyed our stay at the Ellen house. I'm going to reiterate what another reviewer said...we stayed in 4 apartments during our 2 weeks in Italy and this was by far the nicest. It has all the amenities, including an American drip coffee maker! Location was perfect, would definitely stay again, in a heartbeat. Eleanora and her friend Alessandra were both very welcoming as well as Francesca who let us into the house to drop our bags when we arrived early. Highly recommended!
