Cecilia's home is gorgeous and beautifully located with views facing the edge of the Vatican gardens. It was a thrill to round the corner every morning and to see St. Peter's. Cecilia was a gracious host even despite the fact that we did not have much a common language, with our abysmal Italian and her limited English. She made us a delicious breakfast each morning, with pies, cakes, muesli, fruit, juices, and wonderful coffee. She helped us on a number of occasions particularly with arranging our ride to the airport. Her son also was very friendly, and gave us many ideas of places from which to see beautiful views of Rome.
Thank you for the wonderful retreat in Rome, Cecilia!
