We walked all over the neighborhood, discovering a public park & library, foreign consulates, friendly pizza parlors and our favorite cappuchino spot. There were fruit and vegetable venders, gelato with their little cone caps, a supermarket, even a dog park nearby. What a treasure! One simple bus ride took us all the way to the Colusseum. And at the end of each muggy summer day, we dipped our feet in the cool pool and sipped sparkling wine! Though unheated, lap swimming was extremely refreshing. The villa with its wide brick patio was so spacious: we all had our favorite spots. And the girls ruled at foosball every time!
Ghilly went out of her way to be sure we were settled in. This villa is etched forever in my memory of Rome. Thank you for sharing your lovely house with us!
