I arrived exhausted and was very grateful to Jacopo for carrying my suitcase up the regular flight of stairs and the winding staircase. The room is light and roomy despite the slanted ceiling. The rooftop terrace was an unexpected treat and the AC was a godsend. I mostly used only the fan. It blows directly onto the bed and was cooling enough for me. I came and went as needed without seeming to bother Mariella or Jacopo, which I appreciated. I felt safe, and I was comfortable. I regret that I don’t speak enough Italian to have had a conversation with Mariella. Her home is lovely and I felt she would be charming to get to know.
