We had an excellent two-night stay at Flavia’s place. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking, and the proximity to the Casa Romana mosaics was great. (Don’t miss this! Get a guide if you can.) Flavia was away for the day, so she arranged for her cousin to meet us, and she had left us a wonderful spread of cheese, sausage, olives, fruit and wine, plus biscuits for breakfast. Later that night, we got to meet Flavia who couldn’t have been more gracious, even sharing some freshly made arancini. The house belonged to her great-grandparents and you get a real feel for what it was like to have generations enjoying their summers here. She has olive oil pressed from her own trees and beer made from her field of hops. The spacious ensuite bedroom where we slept had been converted from a space that was used many years ago for drying the family’s walnut harvest.
We spent our second evening enjoying the view and chatting with our host. This is how AirBnB is supposed to be! Grazie tante, Flavia. È stato veramente un piacere conoscerla!
