best place we've stayed in italy, hands down. if you have the chance to stay here, book it ASAP. very close to public transit, quick ride on the metro to the island, and located in a wonderful quiet suburban area that's a relief after all the traveling. franco & davide had an entire welcome binder prepared that gave recommendations for restaurants, travel spots, transportation, etc. they even packed breakfast for us when we had to leave early for our flight! thank you both so much for all your help!
