We chose the apartment because of the location half-way between Rome and Pompeii and not too far from the sea. We read the reviews - all good, and kept asking ourselves, "What's the catch?" as the price was very low compared to others in the area. Well, there was no catch. My family, two forty-somethings and an 11 year old boy simply loved the place. It was a pleasure to spend time there just relaxing. The apartment has the feel that Michaela really cares about her guests' experience. Everything we could wish for in a holiday let was provided - even free WiFi! The apartment was spotlessly clean throughout and felt light and airy. Linen and plenty of towels, including beach towels, were provided along with extra blankets should they be required. The thing that made this apartment the best holiday let we have stayed in though was the beds. We are both 6ft tall and for the first time in a holiday apartment we could sleep comfortably without our feet hanging over the end of the bed. The mattresses were comfortable and the duvet and pillows were feather down.

The location is great too - right in the heart of Fondi. Down the steps, which are steep but for us added to the feel of the place, and a few yards down the lane and you're in the largely pedestrianised shopping area. Fondi itself was lovely, as was the surrounding area. Getting to Rome was very easy and cheap by train, the station is about a mile away from the apartment. The local beach, Sperlonga, was around 6 miles away and lovely (we went just out of season). Pompeii was an easy car journey away, and the Caves of Pastena were well worth a visit if you have a car.

All the locals we met, including the Police when we asked for directions, were very friendly and most spoke English.

I couldn't recommend this apartment highly enough.
