Truly fortunate to find the right hosts for our family in Rome, we had a culturally rich few days enjoying the hospitality of Barbara and Michele at their B&B Bio. We usually do our travel as green as possible choosing agro-tourism or urban old buildings retrofitted for accommodation so we looked for a B&B in Rome that will have as close as possible an ecologic approach, so the name Bio which in Europe refers to organic food caught my attention. This was a guarantee of sharing the same values with our hosts and indeed, not only we enjoyed their company, we also had the best organic food for breakfast we could hope for, with excellent eggs, cheese, bakery, juices, jams and what a coffee!!! We also discovered great local organic products at Michele’s Bio Store, including organic wine!!!, we learned about organic farming in Italy and we were so fortunate to receive all the help from Michelle any time we had a more difficult route through Rome, coming from the airport or going to pick the rental car when leaving. Not to forget: the B&B is a successful green renovation with a taste for detail using wood and we really enjoyed the huge terrace used for breakfast with lots of plants.
Thank you, and hope to be back soon, Virgiliu, Canadian Green Architect
