“From the moment we made our reservation, the host, Giuseppina, was responsive and helpful. She even called us before our arrival to confirm and see if we needed anything. The check-in process was smooth, thanks to the detailed instructions provided by Giuseppina and the helpful maid who greeted us. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and modern, with a beautifully decorated living room and a terrace filled with plants. The beds were comfortable, and having two bathrooms and a washer and dryer in the unit was a huge convenience. The location was perfect, with many attractions within walking distance, yet it was in a quiet residential area. our experience at Il Terrazzo Di San Colombano was really good, and I highly recommend it.”
