We were after a place outside Rome from where we could take a train
downtown and return to something more peaceful after a day's
sightseeing. Anna and Luca's sounded ideal from the claims on
their website - "... set within a lovely residential area of Rome, is located only steps
from the Ciampino railway station". Sadly the reality is somewhat different. It is a long way from the station, up to 2 kilometers, and it would be a very difficult
walk in the rain, or at any time for woman alone - all the houses and
shops, and even the church, are behind security fences, for a reason? A
major airport is almost as close as the station so it is best to sleep
with windows closed. Breakfast was disappointing - orange drink from
cartons (with straw!), thawed mini pastries in cellophane, coffee in a
thermos jug - nothing fresh.
Parking is good, and at least it is behind the first set of security
fencing. TV reception is average at best, and finding the only English
channel requires as much luck as skill. WiFi to the room is poor, and
since one is confined to the bedroom (or garden) and not allowed
elsewhere except for breakfast - this is a .problem.
Anna was very offhand and her English isn't as good as was expected
from the website description.
I would not recommend this place.
