Jacopo's home was outstanding and the view, incredible. The mattress, pillows, bath towels, etc. were better than hotels we have stayed at. The LED lighting produced a nice effect in the bathroom and on the headboard. With the provided coffee and pastries, one could start their day here without worrying about language or currency, making your first meal of the day stress-free and that counts for something when traveling abroad. Water pressure was ample and temperature was very warm but not hot. We were there during a holiday (All Saints) and street noise was no issue with the bedroom door closed.
Minor cons - I can confirm prior reviews, the interior stairwell is steep and uneven. Worth the view but if anyone in your group has a bad knee or similar issues, it would be a problem. There was some construction going on while we were there within the building that we did not know about but disturbance was very minor during our stay.
Jacopo and family had thought of so many of a guest's potential needs - shampoo, soap, umbrellas, travel guides, your first great bottle of Chianti ;-) , a well-equipped kitchen. There is even a clothes washer with detergent and fabric softener. Unfortunately the last guest did not inform Jacopo they were out of detergent so there was none for us but he informed us there was a store very close by. Dear future guests - when you are lucky enough to have such a thoughtful host, let them know if you use something up! Also, really appreciated not having to take the trash out ourselves - we did not produce much during our stay but it is an added stressor at check-out time that we were grateful not to have to figure out where/when. So many things about this place just made our stay easier. Communication was fast and excellent. Would stay again and again. Grazie mille Jacopo!
