I don’t know what to say. This stay was AMAZING. Top to bottom the absolute best experience I’ve ever head with this service. I don’t speak a lick of Italian and I was better prepared and guided in this stay than I was anywhere in the United States. A clear and enthusiastic reception and introduction to all the amenities provided to us, amazing suggestions for food varying from pizza to sandwiches to a morning café and an amazing dinner. ALL AUTHENTIC. Italians have been some of the most hospitable people I’ve met on my Euro trip. Cafe Massimo downstairs is an absolute godsend. We ate like royalty down there for less than $6 for two cappuccinos and 2 bakery pastries every single day we stayed, always greeted with a smile and even treated like regulars after the 4th day! Osteria Nacchero and Pizza Lavarece are a 3 minute walk alway and provided polar opposite levels of cuisine which were both amazing. Give the Florentine Steak a miss and grab some of the amazing pastas that Nacchero has to offer, and if you’re in the mood for a lazy dinner at the amazing apartment grab some pizza and prosseco from Lavarece and enjoy!
Finally something that can’t be overstated is how PERFECT the location is. It has an absolutely amazing feel of authenticity. It feels like you are with real Italian families— not at a tourist trap. It is within 20mins of the city center via bus line 23 which is within a 2-3 minute walk. You will not run out of places to visit. If it was possible to rate this place any higher I absolutely would. The attention to detail at the stay was a complete surprise since the Filippo and Domitillia told us it was their FIRST venture into hosting. OUTSTANDING!!!
