Our three generation family just departed Marzia’s truly elegant home in a lovely neighborhood. The houses rooms and decor are even lovelier than the photos. The living rooms are furnished with true antiques with gorgeous antique prints of Rome decorating many walls. We felt like we were living in the home of a diplomat !
The house had so much space to spread out in. The grandparents and recently married couple took the top two bedrooms. The young family with the toddler owned the downstairs. Very different sleeping schedules were so easily accommodated. The toddler particularly loved playing outside in the garden while mom and dad relaxed on the lounges. We were bummed that we just did not find the time for a ping pong tournament.
As soon as we arrived we found it very fun to go grocery shopping in one of the local shops or even the market. Which homemade pasta should we buy at the small delicatessen? Every day a new choice of breakfast pastry and coffee at nearby bakeries. We were true Romans!
One of the greatest strengths of the house is the location. We walked virtually everwhere and found our selves with 15- 30 minutes to most of the classic tourists sites. To go farther afield we walked only two blocks to the subway. The house is super centrally located with shopping and cafes literally around the corner yet the immediate neighborhood is very quiet .
I must finish by saying that Marzia and her team were extremely prompt and professional in making all arrangements and answering questions. When we couldn't figure out how to turn on the oven, a young man was at the house with in the hour. This was above and beyond service.
YES! book this house and have a perfect Roman Family reunion!!
