Vinicio's wife, Francesca, made our stay better than if we had stayed in an expensive hotel. She had hot coffee and breakfast ready each morning for both of us and asked us what we liked to eat. The first night we arrived pretty late and she directed us to a great small restaurant less than a five minute walk away. They had a great salad and lasagna...wish I could go back and eat there. She even allowed us to use her printer to print tickets to the Vatican. She was so helpful and went far above and beyond a great hostess. Both of them spoke English extremely well.

Even though Vinicio was away on business, he promptly communicated with us through text messages. He even warned us about a protest that was happening in a certain part of the city and arranged for a taxi to come pick us up at 4am for our flight back to the USA.

The Vatican is in view through their dining room window...a very surreal feeling and beautiful. It is about a 20-25 minute walk to the front of the Vatican. We had our own bathroom that was very roomy with our own hand towels, bath towels, and wash cloths. The bed's level of firmness is very firm. We so enjoyed the quiet bedroom, breakfast, and helpfulness Vinicio and his family shared with us. My husband and I would definitely stay with Vinicio and his family again.
