I spent three nights in this accommodation and had a very good experience. The place is charming, pretty, very clean and well maintained. Communication with Maurizio was very smooth and pleasant, which made the stay even easier. The accommodation is also very well located in the city, notably close to the train station, which is very convenient. One small drawback: There is no television in the room and the sound insulation could be improved. You can quite easily hear the neighbors above, but this is beyond the owners' control. Overall, I recommend this accommodation for its comfort, cleanliness and the hospitality.
