Very charming home and landscape away from the overcrowded streets of Rome. It was nice to wonder Rome all day then have a quiet place to sleep at night. This historic road is lined with a good cafe and more very interesting ruins. We had a car and found free parking on the outskirts of the Vatican and other attractions then walked a few blocks in. Traffic in Rome is beyond what we imagined but if you travel into town closer to 11am and out near 10pm it's not so bad. We tried to a few side trips and it seemed like a drive that should take 30 min took nearly two hours. This happened to us on the day we arrived (we drove from Ravello in the morning and stopped in Tivoli to see Hadrian's Villa). We ended up being gridlocked in traffic (and were without a phone) so we arrived closer to 7pm when we had planned to be there by 5pm. It was frustrating for all of us that we were so late and couldn't communicate. Despite this the hosts were lovely and very accomadating. We hardly had a chance to interact but know they were lovely caring people and would definately stay there again.
