We spent 3 days in Fondo at Massimiliano's place, communication with him or his father about the key etc. went very smoothly! Fondo is a great starting point for hiking etc., driving the car from Bolzano to Fondo was an adventure as you have to cross the Mendelpass - see for yourself :) Fondo itself is a very quiet city, when we there it was hard to get some food or to go to a restaurant, as everything was closed most of the time. Anyway, we had brought some food so we could use the small kitchen at the appartment anyway...At night it was quite cold in the mountains & in the city (end of May), but the heating worked well at the place. Only the beds were a little uncomfortable, but we got used to them after the second night...Anyway, I would recommend Massimiliano's place to other guests!
