Where do I start? Ipippini was wonderful, it surpassed all expectations we had. The pictures, though lovely, don't do it justice! Its spacious, clean, modern and large by any hotel/rental standards. Perfect for two people and would work for more easily!
Cristina and Gianni were exceptional hosts who went out of their way to provide us with a fantastic experience. They spent nearly an hour explaining the best methods of transportation, the local restaurants they love, supermarket locations and even the best place to purchase that leather coat I'd been dreaming about. :)
Le Cure is a fantastic neighborhood as well. There was a market with fresh fruits, clothes, flowers and everything else you could want a block away from the front door! We decided to make a few meals (the kitchen has everything you need) and stocked up there and at the local supermarket (5 min walk). There's also a fantastic bakery and cafe practically right outside the front door. We made a stop for gelato on our way back from the city every day (try the chocolate with hazelnut!). Delicious!
We were initially worried that it would be a bit far from city center, but it was such an easy walk that we decided taking the bus wasn't necessary. In ten minutes we were at the Academia! Between the stairs to the apartment (make sure you're comfortable climbing a few flights) and the walk downtown I think we managed to burn off most the gelato we ate. It was a magical experience and I can't wait to return!
