I booked Silvano's apartment for a week and I had one of my best stays ever. We were three persons, but the apartment could very well accommodate a family with two children.
The apartment is spacious, with a comfortable living room and two balconies, one of them very large. You get a beautiful panorama of Imperia Oneglia from these balconies. The apartment has very stylish furniture and hand-made decorations. If you are the kind of person who likes old style furniture, you will be delighted. The interior of the apartment reveals the refinement and good taste of the owners.
The kitchen is large and has plenty of utensils, plates, cups, bowls, towels etc. There are more than enough closets for storage. If you are inclined to prepare your meals as you do at home, you will find everything needed there.
The bathroom is very clean and bright. You will notice a beautiful hand-made lampshade under the ceiling.
The entrance hall also has beautiful furniture and marble floor. Here you will find enough travel guides for the Italian Riviera.
Everything was spotlessly clean and very well maintained. We also found plenty of bed linen, blankets and bathroom towels.
The location of the apartment is very convenient, in a quiet area, but also close to Oneglia center, the bus and train station. There is a COOP supermarket nearby. All these are easily reached on foot. The building is located at the end of a short curved alley, a little away from the street (which is a great advantage), and is surrounded by a nice garden, with lemon and ficus trees among others. The vegetation around the house, as well as the tiles on the floor inside, make the apartment cool enough in summer time (at least in June, when we stayed there).
There are many interesting places to visit in Imperia. The bus/train station are very good departure points for daily trips along the Riviera. There are many buses and trains leaving from Imperia in all directions. The Italian Riviera is a delightful region, with a mild climate and amazing landscapes and historical places to visit.
Silvano is the kind of gentleman you can hardly find these days. He is very helpful whenever you need assistance. He was so kind to drive us to the train station at 5:00 in the morning on the departure day. I use this opportunity to thank him again for his welcome and warm hospitality.
To conclude, I would happily return to Silvano's apartment in the future. I know for sure it would be another extraordinary experience.
