La Casa di Marty B&B

This is a fantastic apartment. That could be the whole review, but we’ll provide a few more details. This spacious apartment has a full kitchen (four burner gas cooktop; small oven; microwave; full size fridge; lots of pots and pans; utensils for cooking and eating; plates; bowls; cups; glasses), an excellent pod-style espresso machine and a small table. It is by far and away the best kitchen we’ve seen on our travels in Italy so far. The included breakfast is fully stocked for your stay, including eggs, milk and juices in the fridge, and cold cereals.(huge plus) so you can enjoy breakfast at your own pace. The bedroom is spacious and the bed is comfortable. Shutters keep the room nice and dark for sleeping, and the town is very quiet. The bathroom is spacious as well, and the shower provided excellent water pressure and apparently limitless hot water. The large living room has a full-size couch for relaxing and reading, and a flat screen TV and available for Netflix viewing if you’re so inclined. There’s another small dining table at the back of the room, which is where we enjoyed the dinner we prepared for ourselves in the aforementioned kitchen. Best of all, though, is the fabulous collection of pop culture literature and movie memorabilia that fills an entire wall of the room. If you’re a fan of Back to the Future movies you’re going to be giddy with joy in this apartment. Bonus: our host gave us access to the laundry washing machine on the main floor, so we were able to wash a big load of hiking clothes - bliss! From both a comfort and value for money perspective (we paid €66/night) this was the best property we’ve enjoyed so far in Italy. Highly recommended.

It might seem excessive to give a B&B 5 stars, but this is an apartment with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and anteroom. The kitchen has been renovated so it's new, with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, stovetop, and large refrigerator. Absolutely nothing is missing; just open the drawers or cabinets and it's like being at home. There are also three televisions: a small one in the bedroom and two large ones in the living room and kitchen, respectively. The cleanliness is impeccable. I've mostly stayed in serviced apartments, but none have been as good as this apartment. Finally, for breakfast, there's plenty to choose from: yogurt, milk, a coffee machine with pods, tea, herbal teas, and infusions. Then, carefully packaged to keep them fresh, there are toast, various jams, biscuits, tart slices, Kellogg's cereal, and cookies. In short, it's perfect for those who enjoy hearty breakfasts and, importantly, on your own and whenever you want. The key to a good vacation is finding the right place to relax without spending a fortune: this is it.

A special location in an equally special place. Deborah was absolutely welcoming and helpful. We'll be back.
