    It's a general issue in Italy, but there was no sockets suitable for laptop charger. We had to borrow adapter that was used for the kettle. You would assume that if you're in EU there should be one standard for all sockets, but that's wrong. So it would be super nice to have some extra adapter in the apartments.

    We've booked the room that accommodates 4 people for 2 and it was perfect. The interior is kind of village-style, but I adored it. The Internet is decent and provided for free. Breakfast is just perfect, yea it just consists of sweet croissants but they are extremely tasty. The location of the apartments is outside of the castled city walls but that's like super close anyway.

    The room was very spacious, location right under the old city, and it is attached to a cute coffee shop where you have your breakfast that is included - your choice of pastry and a coffee or juice. The hosts are very nice and there is a feeling of a local neighborhood cafe.
