Our stay at The Walnut Nest was fantastic. It was all we could have asked for. My family and I were travelling to Italy for the holiday and wanted a place to be "home base" and Maurizio's home was perfect for that. It is located about 40 min to an hour outside of Rome by bus and metro, but don't let that stop you from staying! We never had an issue using public transport to get into the city. The Walnut Nest was in a quiet neighborhood also within walking distance of a FABULOUS restaurant (Al Confessionale - must try the truffle gnocchi), a grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shop etc. Maurizio was an exceptional host, communicated well, and obviously cares about his guests. A lovely basket of some goodies as well as homemade wine were there to greet us. We also had a bout of the flu hit us and Maurizio offered to get medicine, call a doctor, etc. It is safe to say he goes the extra mile. If we are back in Rome, The Walnut Nest will be our place!
