Casa Tilia is well situated, short walk to city centre & 15 min car ride to the airport. We booked the 2 apartments as we were a family of 6 and found the place clean, comfortable & suitable for our needs. The immediate area/ street including the parking is unkept, but the location was still very good. A very pleasant stay. Thank you to Tiziana for her accessibility and hospitality.
