The host was very responsive but did not speak English. He did speak a little French so we used that, but it was still very difficult to communicate.

The apartment is well located, quiet, huge, with formal entry, living and dining rooms, but these either have no furniture, or the furniture is unusable. There are 3 bathrooms but only one has hot water and a bath/shower.

In general, the place is large, clean but pretty dilapidated and somewhat uncomfortable compared to what it must have been like 150 years ago. Interesting for a night or two, but we found that the lack of comfort outweighed the charm of a dilapidated Pallazio.
