We arrived before the check-in hour and we got welcomed by one of Annamaria's friend, a very nice person. Both people were very reactive to our messages, gave us some advices for restaurants, things to do/visit, etc. You can reach the historical center in approximately 15 minutes by foot. The loft itself is quite modern, however we didn't stay there for a long time: just to sleep and take showers for a couple of days.
