Vince was quick to respond to my questions and updates about my arrival and also sent a lot of helpful information about arriving from the airport and getting around the area. I felt very prepared arriving even though it was at night - it's a short, easy walk from the train station.
Annamarie and Guglielmo are wonderful hosts, and I very much enjoyed my time in the cottage. I arrived a little later than expected and they were very accommodating. I forgot breakfast was included and was blown away by the beautiful tray Annamarie prepared every morning - breads, jams, cookies and cakes, fruits and nuts, tea, juice, cheese, fresh fruit...all beautifully presented on pretty bowls and bowls. When I sat down to eat each morning, I could feel the love and care that went into it. It was enough food to keep me going until the late afternoon, too.
The last time I stayed in Rome was a 15 minute walk from the Termini train station and I enjoyed my time so much more being based in Trastevere - quieter, more residential, easy walk to restaurants, shops, groceries. I walked everywhere, too. The cottage is a perfect spot to relax and restore in the midst of a busy city. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in Rome!
