The apartment is just brilliant, clean, light & airy, in a quiet area so no disturbances from outside or inside this renovated building. We didn't have an opportunity to sit on the balcony because the temperature was too high for us at 39C degrees. Rosanna is lovely and will do anything for you, speaks perfect english. The apartment has everything you require an we will definitely return here again when its cooler. Its a great space, sofa & bed upstairs are comfortable, highly recommended.
The walk from the Train/bus station is doable but when its so hot and busy its easier to get the no.13 bus, the stop is to the right of the train station as you come out of the main entrance. Get tickets opposite in a Tabacchi shop €1.20 each, suggest buying a supply, and can be used on any bus, whatever the distance. The journey is about 10 mins, and easier if you have luggage. If you print off a map before you go the bus stop to get off at is opposite the apartment over a small bridge to the right. The apartment is on a one way street, over the bridge (canal) is another one way street in the opposite direction. To go back into town or even further onto the south side, cross over the bridge from the apartment, continue straight ahead and the bus stop for the No.12 is there, buses are very frequent every 15 mins approx. There is also a little Newspaper/Tabacchi seller at the end of the road which you can see from the bus stop. After a long hot day walking around getting on to an airconditioned bus was a welcome.
A great place to visit was the food market San Lorenzo Mercato Centrale, we bought all our fresh produce, prawns, fish, chicken, fruit & veg here, it is open in the mornings, and then got on the bus at the train station, we were here for 7 days so we made a few trips. Upstairs is a great area to site and drink, eat, use the wifi while your out & about. Here you will fins a number of food restaurants and bars. The pizza was the best we had in town, and the cold local beer was brilliant. Its very busy at lunch times with the locals and tourists. Outside of the rush hour its quiet and you can sit and have a peaceful drink and sit down. There are a number of little supermarkets around, and you will pass one on your left coming from the station to the market.
Thanks to Rosanna ***** for making our holiday so enjoyable, we will see you again. (from a Mature English couple)
