CASA MICA

Our European adventure 2011 was definitely a memorable one.  There were so many highlights.  One of them was our stay at CASA MICA Bed and Breakfast in Civitavecchia.  We stayed at this beautiful house for 2 nights, April 16-17, the weekend before our Mediterrenean Cruise.  Civitavecchia is a Port of Call and is around 45 minutes away from Rome.  

We had such a pleasant stay at Casa Mica thanks to the owners, Germano and Patricia.  They have one daughter who is younger than Audrey.  Her name is Valentina.  We felt very much at home because we were able to book all 4 rooms in their Bed and Breakfast.  Having the place to ourselves, for the price of EUR 500 was definitely not bad.  Staying at a nearby hotel would have probably cost us double.

The view from their balcony was breathtaking.  The serene and blue Mediterenean Sea.  What made it even more picturesque were the trains that were passing by every hour. 

Civitavecchia is a quiet and peaceful town. On Saturday night, together with Tita Tina and Tito Edgar we had dinner at a pizza and pasta place by the sea.  On Sunday, we heard mass at a nearby church.  Mass was in Italian and it also happened to be Palm Sunday.  We also bought lunch from some stalls near the church, they were the only ones open  when everything else was closed.  Lunch was composed of sandwiches and hotdogs which we ate back at Casa Mica.

On Sunday afternoon also, the day before our cruise, us kids went to Rome for a tour of the city while the parents stayed at Casa Mica.  It was very relaxing for them.  It was tiring for us kids because we did a lot of walking and even running to catch the train! Went we got back in time for dinner, we bought pizza from the pizzeria, just a few steps from the bed and breakfast. The back gate of there house made it more accessible for us to reach the Pizzeria.  It was so good!  Pizza, freshly made and AUTHENTIC! :)

On Monday morning, when it was time to say goodbye to our home for 2 days, we took some pictures and exchanged pleasantries with Germano and Patricia.  They were very nice and Germano even offered to take us to the port, in two trips!  

All of us had such a nice time at CASA MICA and I'm sure we would all love to stay there again.  Highly recommended and unforgettable.
