I stayed at Patrizia’s amazing “apartment” ( it’s actually an entire floor of a former palace) with my mother, husband, and 14-year-old twin daughters. It was a little bit of a splurge for us but we decided to go for it as it would be my mother’s birthday while we were there. I was so glad we did! The apartment exceeded expectations in so many ways. Simply having the opportunity to be in such a gorgeous and historic space would have been enough but on top of that the beds were the most comfortable we’d slept in in Italy, the kitchen was wonderfully equipped, and Patrizia went out of her way to help us with dinner reservations at a special place for my mother’s birthday dinner. This was without a doubt the best Airbnb experience we have had.
