Loved my time staying at Claudio's house! Was able to do my work with the internet including teaching online to kids in China. Claudio and Francesca also spoke English with me which was very helpful because my Italian is nonexistent! The location is great. I took plenty of long walks and was amazed at how beautiful Infernetto is -- and it's very easy to get to nearby Ostia where I saw the beach and the Tyrrhenian Sea! (There are plenty of restaurants and cafes and grocery stores all over the place around where Claudio lives.) The bus stops are right out front and they take you all the way to Rome. Claudio and Francesca recommended different routes to take which was very helpful. And they even helped me with a train ticket to Naples. I was amazed at how easy the public transportation was to use!
You can get to Rome in less than an hour. And the house is peaceful and quiet. Coming from the noisy city streets of Philadelphia in America, this place was great for me! Claudio knows a lot about politics and history too and I was fascinated by how much there is to know about Italy. I hope to come back soon! (Did a lot of rubbing it in, to my friends who were jealous!)
Rome is amazing! I'm going to miss the food, wine, beer, coffee and people! I had a great time! Thanks to Claudio and Francesca!
