Truly a magical place to stay!
All I can say is WOW! As other reviewers have said, I almost don’t want to write this post, because selfishly I don’t want more people to know about this place, but it deserves a 10 star rating.
First, it is probably not for everyone. The location is inside the walls of the city so it takes extra time to check in and get situated. You will be greeted by one of Mario’s extremely kind and welcoming daughters who will escort you by car into the city for a quick unload of your bags and tour of the cottage. You will then drive back out of the walls of the city to your reserved parking place. From here you have maybe a 5-10 minute walk back to the cottage. That needs to be built into you planning for each of you subsequent day trips etc but we loved how it slowed us down and set the pace for our trip. We took time to just get lost in a village that most people visit for maybe half a day.
The cottage itself is incredible. Every detail is well done, extremely clean and a seamless mix of modern comfort and ancient charm. We would have stayed all day in our little garden paradise with Mr. T the resident tortoise if there had not been so much to explore. The bed was firm but comfortable and the AC in the bedroom was a very nice treat at the end of a hot day exploring (though not always necessary as the cottage stayed pretty cool throughout the day).
Thank you Mario, Cristina and Claudia for a holiday we will never forget. We can’t wait to return!!
