Fortunately, Silvia had availability for me in her gorgeous, classic Bolognese apartment at the last minute this week. She replied promptly and graciously accommodated a somewhat poorly communicated arrival on my part as I found myself wandering aimlessly through the breathtakingly beautiful streets of the towns in Emelia Romagna.
My room was warm, comfortable and neat and offered everything one could need, including robe and slippers, and my private bath was beautiful, clean and after a long travel day, offered and large, luxurious soak in its classic tub.
Elizabeth was fun, friendly, welcoming, accommodating and offered a beautiful, safe and comfortable place for a woman traveling alone.
It was interesting to speak with her about her perspective on life as an American in Italy for the last 15 years, raising a family and living and working, and I enjoyed her silver breakfast tray with tea or coffee, cake, biscuits, fruit and yogurt.
And really, if you haven’t visited Bologna, you MUST! I have never seen a town in which every single place you rest your eyes, there is heartbreaking and time-stopping beauty, and Elizabeth’s accommodations are no exception.
