I understand why this appartment is called "Il Sogno". It is truly a dream! I was delighted upon arrival with the beauty inside, outside on the magnificent terrace, and the views. I was warmly greeted by the host, Rosanna, who explained all the important details of the apartment. In a previous email, I had asked Rosanna where I might find gluten free products in that neighborhood. On my arrival, there was a pleasant surprise---a basket of gluten free delicacies waiting for me, along with a lovely bottle of Chianti. Rosanna's thoughtfulness seemed to come from a true interest in providing a beautiful experience for her guests.
The kitchen was completely well-equipped, with all the conveniences for cooking, so that I was even able to have dinner on the terrace with a friend that first evening! Rosanna provided very well-organized information about the food markets and other necessities in the neighborhood, maps and restaurant recommendations. She was also responsive if I called or texted with any questions. I really felt well-cared for.
The neighborhood of the apartment, Prati, has a feeling of elegance to it. And there are more Italians than tourists there, which was a plus for me because I had already stayed in the more touristic parts of the city on previous visits. I enjoyed walking the wide streets of Prati. Or I could hop on a bus or the metro to reach all the important attractions of the centro in minutes.
The bed in the apartment was extremely comfortable and from the bed, I had a spectacular view of the sky. I recommend this special apartment without hesitation. It is truly worth it, a "must stay". I plan to come back here the next time I visit Italy.
