If you want to have an experience of authentic Italian family life this is the place to stay. Lucia makes wonderful delicious meals. I'm not sure if the sauteed eggplant or the clam pasta was my favorite, or maybe it was the meatballs. I really can't decide, because her food was all so amazing. I felt like I was part of the family. I'm sure not every guest will be quite so lucky, because it just so happened that there was a birthday party for one of the neighbor kids and so I got to hang out and meet more of the family and celebrate an adorable little girls birthday, there was dancing and singing and cake and I was so honored to be invited to the special occasion. Francesco took me to a lovely beach that would not have been easy for me to get to on my own. We had a great day at the beach swimming and lounging, and I only got a little bit sun burned. I can't say enough great things about this family and what wonderful hosts they are. They even drove me to the metro station at Acilia and Stefano gave me a pro tip about taking a different train line than the google app was suggesting, and if it hadn't been for that I would have missed my train. I miss Rocco, if I could I would take that doggy home with me.
