I won't waste money flying to a rain forest in Belize, Rwanda or Borneo - will just come to Alessandro's amazing 'jungle hideout' in (almost) central Rome. Its hard to believe such a place exists ~20 mins Metro ride from the Colosseum. The surrounding garden is very peaceful but its the novelty of the jungle house that made my stay very special. Its also great to have the owner, a font of local knowledge, living nearby. Lots of food shops and some restaurants within easy walking distance. Will definitely go back.
