United StatesBeautiful apartment! Our host Ornella greeted us at the apartment with Prosecco and snacks! Spacious clean 3 bedrooms. The two bathrooms were a treat with plenty of towels. There was an expresso machine with your milk of choice. Very nice! It was comfortable for sitting around in the evening visiting, drinking wine and having snacks. A supermarket is in the same block as the apartment. Two of our group were gluten free and there is a gf supermarket, gf gelato shop, and gf pizza shop in the neighborhood. The apartment was a 15 minute walk from the Vatican, and we walked everywhere exploring along the way. We could be almost anywhere in Rome in under an hour. Very nice accommodations. Ornella was available for anything we needed. Ornella organized a tour for our group of 6 to Abruzzo to the small village where my wife’s grandfather was raised. Our driver, Alena, picked us up at 6:30 AM and we returned at 8:30 PM. We met our tour guide Francesca in Abruzzo and she was very knowledgeable about the region as well as how village life was in the late 1800s and how our family lived in the village. We also had stops in Bominaco to visit the Oratory of St. Pellegrino, wine tasting at Valle Reale, and Sulmona to visit the Pelino Factory and museum and a tour of the historic town. It was an awesome tour and a fantastic week!
