What our guests say
A wonderful location right in the heart of the old town and within easy walking distance of all the loveliest spots. The apartment is super welcoming — everything was perfect! A special thank you to Margherita for being so helpful.
A beautiful setting in a historic building with vaulted ceilings, superbly restored and furnished. Very kind and helpful hosts.
An exceptional place in a spot full of charm — everything was fantastic in the old town. Vito helped us throughout our arrival, wonderfully kind, and gave us top tips on where to dine. It exceeded our expectations.
The place was very clean, with air conditioning, bed linen and towels, a hairdryer with diffuser, and everything needed for cooking. Our host left us biscuits, rusks and jam for breakfast, plus coffee and tea. Great location — I'd recommend it and would definitely come back!
A wonderful house, beautifully furnished with so many details you can't help but notice. Everything you need for breakfast is provided, and it's right in the heart of town: it takes no time to walk around and get lost in the alleys. We didn't meet Margherita in person, but she was very kind and helpful in her communication.
The room is cosy and clean.
A wonderful place to stay, where we felt great from start to finish. Everything was exactly as we wanted: cleanliness, comfort, quiet and attention to detail. The host was very kind and welcoming, and communication was excellent. We will definitely come back and recommend this place wholeheartedly!
