This trip was amazing from start to finish. My daughter and I were traveling alone and any concerns that I may have had about this ended when I met Roberto, Fabrizio, (Roberto's brother) and Fabrizio's wife and son. The welcome and hospitality showed to us were outstanding and very reassuring. Fabrizio spent considerable time with us going over the map and advising us on where to go and, importantly, where not to go. He advised us on the best time of day to view various sights and told us what mode of transport to use for the different area's, affording us the best views of Rome en route.
Fabrizio drove us around the local area pointing out the Metro and recommending restaurants etc. He took us to a local shop to buy supplies and then took us to the apartment and made sure that we were ok before leaving us. They were wonderful people, who showed genuine care and consideration for us, without being intrusive. There were many little touches that I will not mention because I think that it will spoil the surprise for those of you who intend to go. The apartment was compact but well thought out, had everything that we needed and was spotlessly clean.
I enjoyed a cup of tea on the roof terrace in the early morning sunshine.
We will definitely return to see more of Rome and these special people.
Oh.... we were also collected from, and taken back to, the airport. Nothing was too much trouble.
I thank Roberto and Fabrizio was an amazing and stress-free break.
