I had a fantastic time having a perfect Italian homestay with Giancarlo, Kie, Patrick and their gentle and sweet dog "Neve". They took care of me & showed me real Italy. They communicated with me exceptionally well in English and gave me valuable advice regarding sightseeing in Rome. They are a truly international family and loved to talk and exchange ideas about everything. Their home was conveniently located on the metro line which went directly to the main station and to the Colosseum. I often walked to and back from the station. The room and bathroom were both simple, clean and nice. The food, with many ingredients home grown, was excellent. They offered me as much help as I wanted even providing me with a cell phone to call if I need to be picked up at the station. Their wonderful son, named Patrick, was a wonderful boy. He was very friendly, intelligent and considerate. "Neve" their dog was the most sweet and gentle dog I have ever met. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. Being with Giancarlo, Kie & Patrick was like being with family and staying there was the best part of my summer trip around Europe. I highly recommend doing a homestay with this amazing family.
