We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Rome as both a working and relaxing "vacation." Mario's home played a large role in that. It is comfortable and visually fascinating, (he's a very busy and creative guy) yet has everything we needed to do our own work when we had to. Mario graciously turned his home over to us, but was always available if we had questions or needed directions. In short, Mario and his home are nothing less than amazing. He made our Rome trip, brief as it was, extra special. We would stay there again without question!
