Roberto's lovely, quaint cottage is full of charm but Roberto, himself, is what made our experience in Rome so special. After enduring an intolerable 2 1/2 hour entry through Customs at Fiumicino, my son and his girlfriend had just about had it when we had arrived at the cottage. . . until Roberto's winning Italian ways reignited their enthusiasm to being in Rome. His smile and warm welcome melted the stress and angst they had experienced and made the way for a beautiful Italian adventure. Roberto bent over backwards to accommodate all of our needs and requests, from making dinner reservations for us to helping us out when I made some serious miscalculations that affected our check-out.
The cottage was tastefully decorated. It is tucked away in the best part of Trastevere, in the best quarter of Rome. It was just a flight of stairs from the top of Gianicolo, close to great restaurants, and within walking distance to all the historical sites.
We would definitely stay there again!
