The location is remote, but it is close to a Metro Station. The two brothers are fantastic.

I had a logistical issue with the train and he spent... More

Nicola and Matteo were very friendly and helpful. They made me feel very welcome. My room was on the top floor overlooking the courtyard. It was light, airy, clean, modern and very peaceful.
