Castles in Rome

[ellenkushner]

My parents, who are going over a little early, have decided they want to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel. My indefatigable dad found this site - next time you want to stay in a castle, there they all are! (Actually, I had my heart set on one of the very reasonable little apartments in former town palaces - the Sampieri or Acetti, for instance - but they are already taken that week. sigh!)

I'm in love with the tower (http://www.rentalcastles.com/torrettademassimi/torrettademassimi.htm).

You'll have to fight me for it.

Hey, now, kids! Let's all share it!

Seriously; howbout a Writers' Retreat some nice week as the leaves are turning gold, or the lutel foul hath hire wyl, or something....?

A most excellent idea. And, heeding your admonition, I shall not even dream of suggesting a round-robin leg-wrestling competition to see who gets the top floor.

You mean that doesn't count as "playing nicely together"?

[scbutler.livejournal.com]

Um, usually not, if I'm involved.

Oops. As I was saying, I should be more than happy to pick last.

Truth be told, I'd happily sacrifice the top floor in exchange for the pool.

Seems an odd place to sleep....

wow, what a great site! Have a grand, grand time... I forget exactly how soon you're leaving but - sooner than I'm getting back to Italy, in any case--

Thanks, Lynn! We're going the first week of June. My first trip to Rome!

It's an amazing city - I'm sure you'll have a great time on the cruise but I also expect you'll want to go back and spend more time in Rome (with worlds enough and time--! *sigh*).
