Guestbook for Cottage by Lake Bracciano Rome

Dear Fiore, Thank you so much for the warm welcome and hospitality.The cottage and location was perfect.Many thanks for your kindness.Much love from wales Kelly and Kay.x

The cottage was perfect for our needs...really not a B&B, as breakfast was not provided, but we had adequate cooking facilities..grocery stores were walking distance as was the town, the castle, public transportation and the lake. The cottage was immaculately clean, we had satellite t.v., many stations in English. A lovely swimming pool was only steps outside the cottage door and the view from our front door overlooked the country side and the lake..at night we could see the twinkling lights from two small villages on the opposite side of the lake. It was quiet, good sleeping. Our hostess Fiore and her two loving dogs provided warmth and hospitality which were outstanding. Fiore speaks good English (the dogs don't), and she was helpful and accommodationg in planning day trips and recommending places of interest. The local castle is fascinating and there are daily tours available. Shopping and eating was plentiful and good. We did not have a car, but for some people it would be helpful in getting around to the various, and plentiful points of interest. Even to go into town, if you are not in good shape, it's an up-hill hike, and coming back at night, when on foot can be daunting. Driving in Italy overwhelms us, but next time we will have a car for the convenience.
