Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The place is modern, clean, and has a full kitchen. Despite being on a busy street with lots of buses, it's surprisingly quiet and close to the center, the park, and many restaurants. Before making a booking, ensure to reach out to the owners and confirm which specific apartment you'll be allocated. They have multiple apartments, all with their pictures grouped together, making it unclear which one you'll receive without direct communication with the owners.”
“Very nice apartment with a beautiful deck. It was very clean and well appointed and the location was perfect. The staff are excellent, and helped us with any questions. Highly recommend!”
“Very clean, Most central/fantastic location, Owners have exemplary communication, Very secure Excellent comfortable beds (I have a bad back!) They will also clean during your stay They will spend time with you explaining the amenities of the house, house rules, area and even leave you with a map. Air conditioning very strong if needed. A big thank you from us, Gracie, and it's people like you, who give Italy a good name and reputation, Bravo!”
