flavia's place was perfect for my design centric husband and gave us a perfect contrast to the old historical place we rented in vernazza. flavia is a lovely host with great taste and takes her job managing her property very seriously. everything in the place is top notch from the appliances to the shower with a choice of colored lighting. as for safety...the door is key...or no key...she gave us a code to open it and the security of the door alone was top notch. more like a safe and we were the treasure!! remote air conditioning was GREAT as were the electric blinds. especially since there was a heat wave and it gets dark late and light early. (about 11-4 in vienna...didn't notice in venice because the blinds worked so well) the three of us were comfortable as can be ~ like a hotel but better!
