Comments and reviews of Rome

TRIP: Mamma Mia!

My Mom and I were standing at a bus stop in Rome. It was our last afternoon in the eternal city, and we were hoping to squeeze in one final amazing Italian lunch before leaving for the airport.

The bus stop was entertaining as we casually waited against the wall. There was a group of school children waiting, the Italian mothers in their three-inch heeled black boots and Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses, supervising the chaos. The nuns, in their traditional black habits, were more successful with one stern look.

We were caught off guard by the nicely dressed gentleman walking up the sidewalk towards us. He navigated around the children, smiled at us, and said in English, “Two beautiful women out for the beautiful day! Do you have lunch plans?” Only in Rome! We were quite surprised. I think we actually giggled at each other, like the school girls waiting for the bus.

If you're interested in reading more about our lunch with Federico, you can find the whole story on my blog at www.andrewsinspain.wordpress.com.

Ciao, Dee

TRIP: Casa Howard Guest House Via Sistina, 149 Rome

Rome Guesthouse: Via Sistina

The Guest House on Via Sistina, 149 is on the second floor (with elevator) of an ancient palazzo. It opened in the year 2002 and was decorated by Tommaso Ziffer, who incidentally also decorated Rome's Hotel de Russie.

Our personal touch is in the many ornaments around the house, brought back from our travels: a porcelain monkey hanging from the ceiling light; Chinese dumpling holders used as soap boxes; and fashionable fabrics throughout the house from Paris, London, China, India....
