We spent 3 nights at Davide's place in late November, and enjoyed it very much.
He's a great host — very responsive and kind. He even dropped us off at Porta Romana at the end of our stay.
The place is very nice and was spotless. The scenery on the way from Porta Romana was just so beautiful.
Most suitable for couples, a car's recommended if you're staying in winter, because the bus doesn't run until very late hours.
