Overall: Very quaint, very quiet, very much the Italian experience we had hoped for. Enjoyed Most: The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, making it a joy to cook and eat in. Enjoyed Least: The steep stairs, though with the handrails they were certainly manageable. Surrounding Area: The whole area is picturesque. Cinque Terre was wonderful. Nearby Events or Locales: We did not walk to La Spezia as it was quite a long walk and hilly. Plus it rained a lot. Tips or Restaurants: Clothes dryers in Europe are very slow. Bring clothes that can be washed and hung to dry. Directions: There are lots of peach colored houses and stone walls and we stopped too soon. Check In Out: It went smoothly and Sarah was a delight to work with. She went out of her was to accommodate us. Communication was easy.
