Location was perfect. Steps away from the most popular attractions. Stefano and his family did a great job of making us welcome and comfortable. Each day Stefano suggested local restaurants and booked reservations for us. All were excellent. The rooftop breakfast was a treat. Be sure to request the fresh squeezed blood orange juice. Relaxing with a beautiful view of the bay.
