Casa Alva

The apartment is modern, with good amenities and everything you need. having 2 bedrooms (& en-suite bathrooms) on a separate floor would be great for people travelling as two couples or similar. The location is also v. central.

Before our departure day, the owner rang the bell and then let himself in to make us sign a 'tourist lease agreement'. We were not happy that he did not wait for us to open the door, but let himself in. We were also not happy to be pressured to sign an agreement in Italian that we could not understand. We communicated this via google translate - but he kept repeating 'lease agreement' in italian and pointing to the signature box whilst checking his watch.

Amazing property close to Duomo but very peaceful. Property is large and well stocked, rooftop terrace was great for breakfast and despite high temperatures could sit out all day as there is shade . Was able to park outside house at all times . Needed google translate for booking in but this wasn’t a problem

We booked this house before there were any reviews available which we never usually do but it looked so lovely. Luckily, a couple of reviews came in to reassure us. We had a great welcome from Salvo with whom we easily communicated via Google Translate. It's an impeccably clean, large house in a great location just behind the Duomo Piazza. It is well equipped and has 2 large bedrooms. The weather was a little too cool to allow us to use the balcony apart from a couple of breakfasts which was a shame. We were lucky that the ZTL was not active and parked in front of the garage every day. We reallly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to others.

Nothing.

Location was great, and the value for money even better. Truly a nice place to stay. The house was big, clean and the terrace was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The house is definitely not suitable if you are not comfortable walking up and down stairs as it is a three story house. We came with a small child and had to keep locking rooms so that she would not venture into the stairs. Finally, the person recieving us did not speak english, and was a bit intense.

We stayed four nights in this beautifully-appointed and very comfortable house. My husband particularly liked to relax on the big sunny terrace with views across the hillside. Three minutes walk from the cathedral San Giorgio, its piazza, bars (ice cream)and the essential food shop. The kitchen is well-equipped for a good family meal
