What you see is what you get. Francesco’s Garden Villa is a very comfortable, clean and well equipped villa. It is spacious with all the modern conveniences you need. There is even a beautiful, private garden where you can sit and enjoy your breakfast or in the evening sit outside and have a glass of wine. This was my “home away from home”.
If you walk up Via dei Lecci and turn left at the corner and walk approx. 4 blocks up Via delle Mimrose, you’ll come to Via dei Platani and there you’ll find a great grocery store called Punta Simply, that has everything you need; fresh vegetables, fruit & meat, packaged food, wine and everything else In between. Actually, there are lots of other little stores and conveniences all around this area.
Now, if you turn right at the corner of Via dei Lecci and Via delle Mimrose and walk down a couple of blocks you come across a wonderful family run restaurant called Pizzeria Napoletani. The owner made me a delicious pasta at a very reasonable price. Ok, so if you continue walking down, past the Pizzeria, you’ll come to a main road called Via Casilina, turn right and walk a short way and you will be at the Centrocelle Metro Station. From this station you can transfer to other lines and go to any of the tourist spots. There are 3 Metros (subways) lines mA, mB, mC. The metro is very close to Francesco’s and extremely easy to use AND fast.
Now as far as hosts go, I don’t think you’ll find a kinder, more caring host than Francesco. I would have been totally lost without his generosity and kindness. I will return to Roma and I will definitely stay at Francesco’s and I would highly recommend this lovely Garden Villa to anyone thinking of coming to Rome.
Thank you Francesco for everything! I don’t know how you become an Airbnb Super Host, but in my books, YOU are the ULTIMATE SUPER HOST. I will be booking with you again 😀
Grazie amico mio, fino a quando ci incontreremo di nuovo.
