The high quality of these accommodations is beyond the normal experience. It brings old world charm that is indescribable and authentic, and combines that with contemporary amenities that make the stay wonderfully comfortable. This pictures are good, but don't compare with the actual experience. The location is perfect for walking and exploring the area within the old city, and is also convenient for day trips to nearby destinations by car or train. This section of this city in this region of Italy is extremely rich in beauty and history and magic. Staying in this incredible apartment made it a full and beautiful experience. When we booked this place to stay it was partly based on the rave reviews of the host, Stefano. We wondered how could he possible live up to all the hype?! Well, it is undeniably true that Stefano is an extraordinary person and absolute joy to be hosted by. He is responsive to requests, full of helpful information and recommendations, and committed to helping you have a positive, fun, and interesting time. He is a wealth of knowledge about the area, the architecture, the history, Italy in general, and more. AND if you enjoy Italian cuisine and perhaps cooking, you can avail yourself of his wonderful cooking class that was one of the many highlights of our experience.
