While I personally love spending August in Rome, I wouldn’t recommend friends to visit us during this period. Not only because it’s hot but most shops are closed.

Our Positano House
July 1, 2011
I always enjoy spending time in our Positano house but as we are often away during summer, it’s underutilized. This summer, as we are away, we decided to rent out our Positano house.
