A very good friend of mine, who recently decided to convert his beatiful home into a bed and breakfast, asked me to write few lines to describe his appartment. I didn' t hesitate before accepting… This conversion has cost him a good deal of effort: doing up the rooms, plumbing, rewiring, plastering… But now there are two guests rooms and both with beautifully hand-painted doors, television, telephone and ceiling fans. I' ve only been allowed into these rooms once: Gp is a very tidy person and that part of the house is out of bounds. Perhaps even his dog, Goedel, possibly the best natured dog in the world, no longer remembers that part of the house, it being months since he last set paw there. The metro is beside Gp' s home, and thus the first guests arrived. Rest assured that Gp gave them a warm welcome with his tasty breakfast which he always prepares with great passion (Babette always comes to mind). But I do know that one thing above all dazzled them: from the windows, one gazes freely on the wonderful panorama, extraordinarily beautiful view of Rome, stretching out over the rooftops… "The rooftops of Rome".
