Maddalena is a wonderful host! We were arriving really late. She had the garden and house lights on to welcome us. Pleasantly surprised to see a lush garden oasis in the middle of the city! My son loved the yard and the trampoline. I enjoyed relaxing on the white canopied seat, watching the birds, admiring the hibiscus and cacti. My husband got some business done on the high speed internet. We also appreciated the late check-out, comfortable beds and the gated parking space. Loved the interior decor of the cottage! Thanks so much for having us stay with you, Maddalena!
