“Hi Matteo-
I’m so sorry for the delayed response. Everything was wonderful!!!! Thank you for planning our dream vacation.
Here’s a few notes and details around our itinerary. Overall, it was incredible. We highly recommend you and your team to any of our friends/ family traveling to Italy. Thank you for our Moka coffee pot. We loved bringing Italian coffee home.
ROME
Day 1
Private transfer went very smoothly.
Hotel47:
We really enjoyed our stay here. Having the smartphone you provided and the hotel’s “handy” phone certainly came in handy. It was a great location, especially because it was walking distance to all of the popular destinations. We enjoyed being so close to Trastervere as well. Our room was very spacious and modern. When we got back from the Amalfi coast, we were treated to an upgraded room with a balcony.

We walked to-
- Villa Borghese

Food Tour:
The food tour was great! Our favorite part was going back to the penthouse and enjoying the homemade pasta and breathtaking views.
