Our stay at Art Stone House was wonderful. Silvio was an exceptional host from beginning to end. He checked in with us before our arrival, was always available to answer questions, and his lively personality and genuine warmth made us feel welcome. My husband and I communicated using bits of Italian, Spanish, French, and English—and when all else failed, Google Translate saved the day! It became one of the funniest parts of our trip.
After our train from Milan arrived at 23:00, Silvio personally picked us up at the station. Retired after more than 20 years with the Italian railways, he kept us updated throughout our journey, giving us great peace of mind. His warm welcome made arriving in an unfamiliar city at night completely stress-free. On our departure, one sunny afternoon, he kindly drove us back to the station for our train to Milan and flight home to New York.
The apartment was charming, comfortable, and full of character. We loved the rooftop terrace, excellent Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchen, and the thoughtful coffee, tea, and snacks. There is a pizza shop one minute away from the apartment, with restaurants and grocery options nearby.
The only small thing to note is that the upstairs has low ceilings, so tall guests may need to duck—or, as we joked, “mind your crown.”
We highly recommend Art Stone House. Thank you, Silvio, for your kindness and outstanding hospitality. We would gladly stay here again.
