Private Collection: Casa Howard - A designer B&B in Rome
Casa Howard was one of the first designer B&Bs in Rome and consists of five distinctive guestrooms. Owners Jenifer Howard Fornieris and her husband carefully watch over all the details that mean a lot to experienced travelers; best quality fabrics, an Italian breakfast with freshly-baked cornetti (sweet croissants) and home made jam from the owner's Tuscan estate served in the guest rooms, soaps from the historic Santa Maria Novella pharmacy in Florence. The concept was so successful that Jenifer added a second casa on via Sistina which is slightly more expensive than the first one on via Capo le Case. Architect Tommaso Ziffer who was brought in to apply his retro-modern touch to the rooms worked only on one other project in Rome, the much more expensive Hotel de Russie. Both casas have small hammams, and via Sistina has broadband Internet connection in every room.
