Maddalena was kind enough to accommodate us on short notice and while she was out of town. Despite the fact that she was en route to Italy, she was quickly responsive and made sure we were well looked after. We loved our one night at her home and wish we could have stayed longer. It is private - tucked away from the street - and the furnishings are beautiful, high-quality pieces. We enjoyed the garden so much we contemplated sleeping outside! A very special property and a gracious and caring host.
