Outside Rome, we drive through an avenue of trees and find the villa we will be staying at for a few days. We are welcomed by the hosts and shown through to our wing. I feel at home in the historic, gracious building and while we freshen up, Francesca books our tickets to the Vatican.
Inside the home is cool in the midday sun, as the shutters are closed and its thick walls keep the heat at bay. Later we sit outside in the cool of the evening while Francesca brings brings out a beautifully set tray with glasses, her home picked olives, grapes while we feast on our freshly bought cheeses, tomato, chicken and bread. Marcello promises to cook us his famous Roman pasta tomorrow night and I am struck by their generosity.
After a frenetic train trip to Rome, we quickly tour the Vatican, St Peters, Sistine Chapel and museum because we keep getting caught behind tour groups of tourists. The Pantheon and Trevi fountain become my favourite spots.
The next day we walk around the ruins of Hadrians Villa in the hot midday sun before going 'home' early to have a siesta. I will miss this wonderful place.
