No place could have been better in Rome to call our home for the weekend. And no place would have been as special as Giuseppe's. A truly inspiring, fascinating, relaxing and also (if you wish) romantic space that just peaks out over the rooftops (looking towards the South) of Prati.
Although we did not get to see Giuseppe, we do feel like we have gotten to know him, as the communication over message went very smoothly. The space itself also works as a good introduction to his personality as you can find some of his artworks (and of course a lot of his books). It makes you feel like you get to know him a little, without feeling like you'r stepping inside someones private room.
We slept in the bed next to the library/living room and were very happy to wake up with the sun shining in (although the curtains are very good at blocking it if you prefer it to be dark). We would open the window and start the day very peacefully with a coffee. The other bedroom provides a more dark and cosy feel, with the window opening to the plants on the balcony, but we used it only as the wardrobe this time.
The kitchen is perfect for a quick breakfast or an easy meal after a busy day walking, however there are also great dinner spots around the area that are not overly busy or touristy.
Next time we will find ourselves in Rome again we hope to be able to call this home once more.
