Il Viandante B&B

We loved our week long stay at Il Viandante in January. There are two separate, gorgeously decorated attic apartments joined through a large shared kitchen, living and dining area. But, for a family of 4, 5 or even 6 this becomes one generously large apartment with private spaces for adults and kids or two couples travelling together. Everything in the apartment is modern and in excellent condition, and the converted attic feel is really attractive and cozy. Each morning, the delightful Anna arrived at the time arranged to prepare a sumptuous breakfast, then tidy and make up the rooms. With 5 star professionalism and effusive Italian generosity, Anna rocks! The apartment is only a few steps from the busy pedestrian Via Giuseppe Garibaldi and its many shops. A restaurant directly opposite is quite good and we found many other great restaurants within easy walking distance. The Palazzo Reale is a few minutes walk and there are tram stops just nearby. The two main train stations are about 1500m away in different directions. Being on the 5th floor, access by stairs is a decent climb. A modern lift squeezed into the stairwell is uniquely narrow, fitting 2 - 3 normal sized suitcases or people but not both together. Beware the lift door is so narrow that over-sized bags won't fit. Each apartment has a large double bed and a good-sized modern luxury en-suite. The 2nd apartment also has a small back room with 2 built-in single bunks with plain foam mattresses. Not luxurious, but our teenager enjoyed it here in her own space instead of the convertible lounge she had in most places! We did not get to meet Farida, who was away at the beginning of our stay, but she left us a very nice message.
