Alessandro is a charming host with a unique view of his city (he is a master singer with a Vatican capella). In fact his singing commitments made it impossible for him to meet us at Trastevere station as planned in his pre-trip email but he arranged for a friend to be there instead and then briefed us fully as soon afterwards as he could. With us and with other guests he made every effort to find out what we wanted to see and do and to make suitable recommendations as to how to make these possible. We really appreciated the bottle of Asti and his open, welcoming manner throughout our stay, not to mention his care in organising our return to the airport.
