"Everything was just perfect for the four of us. The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious and located in a lovely quiet area ten minutes’ easy walk from the centre. The layout was ideal with a lounge, two shower rooms, two bedrooms and a kitchen/dining room. A lot of care has gone into equipping the apartment which is very tastefully decorated, and the huge private outdoor patio area was very welcome. Roberto our host was very attentive and Antonella was most helpful too. We wouldn’t hesitate...
