Silvio (and his family) is the epitome of Italian hospitality at its best. Generous in spirit he was always available for advice on what the locality has to offer, whether it's a trip to the seaside town of Ostia or venturing into the metropolis that is Rome. It is having these two options that make Silvio's location ideal. Furthermore, the grounds of the house are quite relaxing, so if there's a day that you feel like staying-put and lounging , this is also possible. One also has the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Italian countryside on the banks of the Tevere river and forget all about the charming chaos. I was there for two weeks and over longer periods I get tired of restaurants all the time and I like to cook and prepare food etc. To this end the place was well-equipped. I would recommend this place for either a single person or a couple.
