“We stayed at a small, charming inn on a quiet street, close to cafes, restaurants, and bars. Our room had a private balcony with French doors, a spacious bathroom with excellent water pressure, and a large wardrobe. The house is beautiful with lovely terraces and gardens. Breakfast by owner Lucia was delicious and homemade. It felt like a beautiful home away from home. Aside from minor repairs needed and a slightly sterile common area, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it for its charm, location, and friendly service.”
