My wife and I and our two children (10 and 12) recently stayed four nights in Simona and Rocco's penthouse home. It was a truly wonderful experience. Located as it is in the city's historic center, the home is close to everything / literally across the street from Piazza Maggiore - yet is a quiet and relaxing place to hangout after a day of siteseeing - or eating too much! It was plenty spacious for the four of us, and there are many thoughtful touches throughout which help make one feel at home. The home is also very stylish, offers all modern amenities and has two beautiful walk-out terraces. But the home itself is only part of the story. Rocco could not have been more responsive, accommodating, informative or helpful. He met us right on time, provided a thorough tour of the home, offerred many dining recommendations, and even had some groceries waiting for us which came in very handy with our kids - e.g., cereal and milk - and a beautiful fruit basket and wine. Above and beyond. But Rocco didn't stop there. Our Italy trip hit a sour note when my briefcase was stolen at the Rome train station (such a cliche', I know) on our way to Bologna. In addition to a laptop computer, it contained all of our passports. Somewhat fortunately for us, the bandits were only interested in the laptop and, after taking it, apparently dumped the briefcase on a side street where it was found by a good samaritan who contacted me and agreed to leave it with the front desk of his hostel. Unsure how to get the briefcase from Rome to Bologna (without losing a whole day training back and forth), I asked Rocco for help. And help he did. Despite dealing with an unhelpful hostel manager, Rocco successfully arranged (through a friend) to have the briefcase picked up in Rome and overnighted to Bologna - with passports intact. He really saved the day - and the trip - for us!!! Bottom line - I could not recommend this home - or the owner - highly enough. Thanks again Rocco!!!
