Claudia and Marco’s place is beautiful, spacious and impeccably clean. The room is well-appointed with a comfortable bed, its own bathroom and private terrace. The terrace is overflowing with beautiful flowers and plants – it’s more like being in a quiet garden rooftop than in the middle of the city. The whole place is beautifully renovated and spotlessly clean.

Claudia and husband Marco were just marvelous! They welcomed my mother and myself into their home like we were longtime friends! They are such beautiful people -- so genuinely warm, generous and kind-hearted -- probably the best hosts anyone could have! If you have opportunity to come here, you will have an authentic experience of Italian hospitality. The evening we arrived, they were kind enough to share some of their wonderful lemoncello with us and we sat around sharing stories in a way that rarely happens with people you’ve just met. We were able to gain cultural insights into Italian life that never would have been possible, had we stayed at a hotel!

In the morning, Marco presented us with a genuinely authentic ‘country-style’ Italian farm breakfast: beautiful salad, fresh fruit, eggs, cheese, olives, toast, cereal, jams, yogurts, coffee, tea.... and it gets better: the olives were actually hand-picked from Claudia’s family home in the South and the olive oil was ‘hand-pressed,’ (by her family!) …. Talk about ‘farm-to-table! -- It doesn’t get any fresher than this! And it was all served beautifully on the lovely terrace to the soft accompaniment of classical music. It was like something out of heaven! Claudia and Marco are truly the embodiment of Italian hospitality!

They told us that a couple last year came from the US and stayed with them for a month through AirBnB….and I can see why – we just didn’t want to leave! At their place, not only do you have the luxury of all that Rome offers at your fingertips, but after a busy day, you can relax in the serene oasis of greenery on the terrace and chat with caring hosts! We felt like we found dear friends in Claudia and Marco….. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay for longer!
