It's the Little Details...
This large apartment was incredibly beautiful in so many ways. The owners have done an incredible renovation to modernize the experience without sacrificing the charm you hope to experience in this ancient town. it was clean and the linens were top notch. I think I'll install a towel warmer at home after experiencing this luxury. My only advice to future renters is to make sure you arrive at a time where the owner can meet you in person. There are nuances about appliances, lights, power, etc. that you should be fully explained. I pushed for an early arrival and the owner was not able to meet me. I erred in not making sure my arrival timed well with a good overview of the property. Also note, this is a small town with narrow streets. There is, thankfully, a parking place in front of the apartment but it's a tight squeeze. Renting bigger car not always better if you're visiting the old beautiful towns. We were able to get reservations to LaPorta - one of two Michelin star restaurants in Monticchiello - on a moments notice. Probably because we are hear during winter/off season. We loved having coffee, lunch, wine at a small shop run by a lovely Italian man who spoke fluent English. We also met a lovely man at the visitor center who convinced us he was Santa Claus. All in all, our time here was all we had hoped it would be.
