My husband and I have just returned from spending four marvellous weeks in Lucilla's flat in Pigneto. The flat was absolutely perfect for us - access to the centre of Rome was easy but it was wonderful to return 'home' every day to chill out and relax (central Rome can be pretty manic... ) If you're spending more than a few days in Rome I would highly recommend exploring Pigneto which has a welcoming, almost village-like feel but at the same time has a marvellous buzz to it. Top tip is to visit Yeah! cafe/bistro/bar just minutes from the flat, it's open from early morning to the wee small hours of the next day - this was our second base in Pigneto!
The flat itself is spacious (only two of us but it could easily accommodate four), airy and well-equipped with lots of lovely little touches like umbrellas, shopping bags, books, toys and games. We both like our home comforts - cooking for ourselves and chillaxing around the kitchen table - and I can give no greater compliment but to say that the place felt just like home.
Finally - Lucilla herself - what a lady! We can honestly say that she is one of the loveliest, kindest people we've ever had the pleasure to meet. From picking us up at the airport to keeping in touch via email and text during our stay she was the perfect hostess and so incredibly helpful. Staying for four weeks we had the opportunity to get to know Lucilla and her family which was a tremendous honour and we are happy to say that we will be keeping in touch.
In short - whatever kind of stay you're planning in Rome look no further than staying in Lucilla's flat. Absolutely perfect!
