Mauro's dad Guiliano was on the phone giving directions and waiting to greet us. He also helped with negotiations for parking our car, and gave us the lowdown on local shopping markets for fresh food etc.The apartment was amazing, not only for its central location but for its history and the beautiful way it was decorated and fully equipped. Much appreciated by us 'foodies'. Our visit was certainly enhanced by having this lovely apartment so close to everything we wanted to see and do. We highly recommended it as a place to stay
