Carmen's home is truly extraordinary. As you can see from the photographs it is full of interesting and quirky objects, collections and art work. We have never seen anywhere quite like it before! Our apartment on the roof top was comfortable and well equipped with all we needed for a short stay. The terrace garden and little pool were unexpected delights.
We made the mistake of arriving on a Monday when everything in town seemed to be closed. Apparently they need a day to recover after the Sunday Market day! The town itself was quiet, authentic and lovely and we felt delightfully far from tourists attractions. We walked up to the Calvary and had lovely views from there. Alberto told us that the drive up to the Monastery de St Salvatore was well worth the effort both for the place and the view. As we'd been in the car all day we didn't want to drive again but would definitely do that if we went back.
Our only problem was finding parking nearby but we were able to unload and load the car outside the property and then move to find a spot on the streets in the centre.
We were only at Carmen's home for one night and so didn't see much of her or her son Alberto but they were kind and attentive and anxious to make us comfortable. We would recommend a visit to this very different kind of air B&b.
