Right from the beginning, we have felt warmly welcome by Ilaria and Roberto. Roberto has received us in the apartment and made us feel immediately at home and among friends. Since they new that we would celebrate our wedding aniversary in Rome they had prepared a bottle of wine for us. Ilaria communicated with us throughout the week to offer tips for visiting and support in practical matters.

The apartment is charming, located right in one of the liveliest parts of Rome. We found that this is a great place from where to explore the city. From 'beyond the Tiber' (which is what 'Trastevere' literally means) one crosses a beautiful bridge to enter the heart of the historic city.

Nice restaurants are abundant in the vicinity but right across the river, just beyond the Via Giulia, there is also an attractive array of good Roman restaurants. Trastervere itself has a lot of interesting and beautiful churches and museums and it is definitely worthwhile to climb the hill in your back to have a great view of this great city.

Many thanks to Ilaria and Roberto for having us!
