Guest Book The apartment was very comfortable, perfect for a family with small children. The satellite TV, DVD player & stereo made life easier when it rained. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were lots of great places to go out for dinner, the Italians all take their children out with them which was a nice change and made our evenings much more enjoyable. There were lots of places to go and visit close by, we stayed for nearly two weeks and still didn't get to see everything. We had a great time staying over new year, we even joined in a local new years party which was great fun. looking forward to coming back soon. Henry, Caroline, Sarah & Freya Iddon.
