We felt so lucky to spend our 3 night's in Gianluca and Anna's fabulous room in the absolute perfect location in Rome, right in the centre of everything, steps away from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon in one direction, Piazza Venezia and the Forum/Colosseum in the other. It is surrounded by cobbled streets full of cafes and bars, but is on an alley/viccolo just a couple of steps away from the hustle and bustle, so very quiet and calm once inside.
The room is huge (plenty room for 3) with lots of character... and books. Because of the high ceiling, the room is nice and airy (as well as quiet), so you will sleep like a baby - we did! After staying with Gianluca, I promise you will never want to pay for a pokey hotel room in Rome again!
Did I mention how pleasant it is in the morning to go to the cafe/bar each morning for breakfast with the locals? So much more fun than a dull hotel breakfast room!
As for our host, he couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant, while at the same time completely unintrusive - a true gentleman! He was very easy to communicate with in advance of our stay and was contactable at all times while we were there. He gave us some wonderful restaurant recommendations (to suit our taste and requirements) and helped us in every way with our travel to/from the airport - we were coming and going at different times. Grazie mille Gianluca - you enhanced our whole holiday experience!
