We love Alessandro. He is a fantastic host, the best we've ever had. The house is large and very well arranged and equipped and appointed. See the picture in the profile? The view is even better than it looks in the picture. The grounds and interior of the building are scrupulously maintained. Alessandro goes the extra mile. The kitchen is much better equipped than our home kitchen and has everything you need. We found extra treats there as well! The bed is better than any we've ever slept on. There is lovely art on the walls and a comfy sofa. Garbabella is close to the metro. The neighborhood has everything you may want or need, including great pizza take-outs and restaurants. People in the neighborhood are very laid-back. We love the centro but this is a nice contrast. We hope to stay at Alessandro's Garbabella again.
