Of all the places we stayed while on this wonderful adventure, this was probably the one I would say we fell in love with the most. Called the Artist Apartment set in the heart of Trastevere; it was love at first sight. From the moment the door opened and we were introduced my heart knew that this place was going to be hard to leave. We were welcomed with wonderful art, hanging plants, crisp white sheets.. it was like it already knew who we were.  The windows were large and when left open, we would wake to the warm air and sound of Rome beginning its day, coffee grinders and pleasant chatter, the smell of fresh croissants and pastries. Such a world away from all that I have ever known. This place, lent itself to inspiration, for writing, for dreaming, loving and being still. It was here that we found our Italy,the one we held so close in our hearts. It was here that all we ever thought it would be, Was.

one night

my husband and i were married on new years eve two years ago. following our wedding night we spent the next two nights at the CROWN METROPOL. we had such a good time hanging out in the city, eating, drinking coffee and simply taking the time to enjoy our moment of togetherness without the children, that we thought we should do it again. we moved our anniversary night forward into November so we can spend new years eve with our tribe. Again, we had such a great time i think this could become a welcomed tradition of ours.
