This was by far the best place we stayed in Italy! We were at this apartment for six nights and could have stayed another week. We never tired of the shops, cafes and restaurants and especially gelato within walking distance. This was also truly a place to relax and let my kids walk and explore on their own. We felt completely safe as the tourist flooded the town by day and we had the place to ourselves at night. We loved, loved the amenities. The grocery store was a hike to get to, but it allowed for great exercise. THe owners were more than kind and ready to help at every moment. They stood ready to meet us, always available when we had questions and we absolutely loved the charm and history of it. The bathrooms and kitchen was dated and not well stocked, but everything else made up for it. We spent many hours watching life go by out the tower window. We saw a wedding, a funeral, a carnival, a marching band and many happy people walking through the square that it overlooks. Grazie for sharing your home with us. It couldn't have been better.

My husband and I stayed here for 10 days with my Mother and her friend. We loved this apartment! You are literally in part of one of the historic towers overlooking the main Duomo. We can not tell you how many times we leaned out that tower window so that tourists could look up and point to us and take pictures. It never got tiring! The bedrooms are lovely and quite large. We didn't take as much advantage of the spacious living room as we could have but it is very nice. The underground secured parking was wonderful and the family that owns this place is just lovely. We loved strolling around the town and running into them here and there! My husband and I travel to Italy every other year for two months and have rented tons of apartments around Italy. Trust me when I say you will not regret your decision to stay here! We especially loved the market that came to town twice a week -- in the Duomo square just steps from your kitchen. While the tourist do tend to crowd the city by day they leave at night and this beautiful place is all yours. Enjoy!

I wrote a nice review to help others looking at this property out but then i got the most ridiculous email stating my review couldn't be posted because it didn't "meet guidelines" I red your stupid guidelines and mine seemed appropriate but you wont even point out why. I recommend VRBO to my clients at least 4 times a day but after getting this stupid ass email "rejecting" my review as if I have something to gain by what i wrote... lets just say i have a totally different opinion about your web site and feel i must compell people to not trust your review as who knows what other reviews have been rejected... I know i won't write another review and will look to other rental sites to find my next rental as my confidence in VRBO's reviews are gone
