I am still here at the bed and breakfast but couldn't wait until my checkout to write a review. Before I even arrived, Ylenia was in constant contact with me to provide directions and even offered pick up from the train station (I was arriving from the port of Civitavecchia). She has given me advice on what to do and made me feel very comfortable to be a woman traveling alone in Rome for the first time. Upon arrival I was shocked to see how beautiful the grounds are as it is not represented fully on the website. Wow! I was then greeted in such a friendly manner, sat down for a cappuchino and snack while waiting for the room (I arrived early in the morning) and then escorted up to an immaculate beautiful room. Breakfast in the morning is not the typical fare I had expected of perhaps some cereal or a banana. You will be sat down and served a feast fit for a king. So far, breakfast has been a large bowl of fruit, some home cooked danish, home cooked cannoli type concoction (that is amazing), yogurt, and a plate of mozzarella and tomatoes. I have yet to come close to eating all of it and each morning Sabine has packaged up the remainder to bring with me on my trips into Rome. After having told the owners yesterday about my trouble finding vegetarian food, I arrived last night to a home cooked meal of crepes with spinach and ricotta made by Dotta, the owners mother. Seriously, I've NEVER experienced anywhere near this level of hospitality and it would have been well worth the price if I had paid double. The location is just outside of Rome, which means that there is about a five block walk to the bus station, but for one euro the bus goes DIRECTLY to the Vatican or wherever else you choose to go. Also, free high speed wireless internet access. It is so peaceful here with only the chirping of the birds in the morning. I have the best of both worlds with the fresh air and quiet atmosphere of the country, but an easy hop into the city. Ok, off to enjoy more of my host's fantastic cooking!
