Rome Visit

We visited Rome to see our son who was studying there for the semester. The unit manager met us at check-in and went through everything in detail. The unit was very clean with plenty of room for two people. The location was also good as it is close to both the more popular bus stop as well as the San Pietro train station. Overall it worked out well for our visit.

Rome getaway.

Nice location with easy access to Vatican City, just a few minutes walk. Longer walk to the hop-on/hop-off bus which we used for two days to visit various sites, particularly old Rome with the Colosseum and the Forum. Easy access to#64 bus which we used to get to the train station for our onward journey. We were comfortable during our stay, had everything we needed in our Rome home!

Wonderful Stay, Made the Trip Easy

Giovanni was incredibly communicative and helpful with getting my wife and me to this apartment on our honeymoon. He set up a driver for us to pick us up right from the airport exit to the apartment. The price was the same as a normal city taxi, but to have someone with your name on your sign when you arrive at FCO is reassuring and helpful. We met his cousin, Matteo, when our drivers dropped us off, and he was so kind and helpful in preparing us for the stay and to explore Rome. A very secure and safe building and neighborhood. It is in a quieter part of Rome but is only a 3 minute walk from the Vatican. Easy to get to the Vatican since there is a tunnel underneath the only street you need to cross. In the area underneath, we recommend Ristorante Dai Miei for authentic Roman food and Pizza Ricca Roma for cheaper but good food. The 64 bus ticket can be purchased any time at the supermarket at the bus stop, and takes you through downtown all the way to Roma Termini as the final stop which was very convenient when we traveled to the train station at the end of our stay. Could not recommend Giovanni and his apartment enough, especially if you want easy access to the Vatican!

Fun Apartment Close to Vatican

Our whole stay was just lovely! The apartment was clean and when we arrived we were given a walk through and breakdown of how everything worked! He even gave us pointers on what sites to see and great places to eat! We even had a car service set up so we could be picked up and dropped off at the airport and the rates were really reasonable. We walked to the Vatican in literally 5 min and visited several times during our stay. It was an amazing adventure and our host made it so easy! Thanks for everything!!

Wonderful apartment and wonderful location.

Loved the apartment and the space it offered. Very comfortable for our stay. Location was great, a 12 min walk to the Vatican and easy access to all the main sites. Loved being able to escape the crowds of people and return to a quiet street with plenty of excellent restaurants, cafes and groceries nearby. Will definitely recommend and hope to return again. Thank you Giovanni for a wonderful stay in Rome!!

Wonderful location, wonderful host

We so enjoyed our stay as it was so close to everywhere we wanted to visit, easy transportation, and the communication with Giovanni was quick and welcoming. The only recommendation I would say is that the bed was not as comfortable for us as we both need good back support. Otherwise it was absolutely wonderful :)

Wonderful stay!

Our experience, even before our stay, was excellent. Communication with Giovanni was very helpful and he was quick to respond! Matteo was very helpful when we arrived, and spent time with us to literally map out places to go. The Vatican is close - a 5 minute walk. The location of the apartment was close enough to other areas to walk, if you’re up for it! The apartment had everything we needed! We will definitely stay here again! Dianna and Pete

Excellent property plenty of room and very comfortable. A 5 minute walk to the Vatican with an excellent restaurant within a 100 feet of the apartment building entrance. We had a very nice Easter dinner after attending Easter mass at the Vatican. Our host cousin Matteo let us in and gave us a lot of useful information. Plus gave us a new way of preparing Chicora. Thank you Matteo and Giovanni for making our Easter weekend one we will never forget. Another bucket list item checked off.

Best Rome Stay

I stayed here a few years ago & came back this time with my granddaughter. It was just as great the 2nd time around. Everything you need for a pleasant visit- close to the bus stop, 5 minute walk to the Vatican, grocery store and several bakeries/restaurants nearby. Giovanni is a super host, his apartment has everything you need (although I did have to buy a corkscrew - I left it for future visitors:) clean, balcony to have coffee on, washer, stocked kitchen, etc. I hope to come back to Rome and I'd be happy to stay here again if it's available.

Highly recommend this property! Beautiful, spacious, clean, and excellent location.

Everything was absolutely perfect! Starting from the pick up from the airport to a clean, well furnished, spacious apartment; we were greeted by Massimo. Massimo was friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to give us a thorough briefing of the beautiful apartment and an outlined map of the main sites to visit and best ways of transportation. The apartment is centrally located, safe with a concierge, and easy walking distance to the Vatican, shops, restaurants and most all other tourist sites. We would definitely recommend a stay at this property... Via Pelaggio 1. (Quarter X111 Aurelio).

Wonderful apartment in a great location

A wonderful spacious apartment with everything you need for a great stay in Rome. Just minutes from the Vatican and with easy access to other parts of Rome via the local bus. Just 5 minutes from San Pietro train station makes for easy access to places outside of the main city area. The apartment was very well maintained and has everything you need. We look forward to staying there again on our next visit to Rome and strongly recommend it to others.

This place

I don’t know all of Rome but for our first stay this place was nice. The building was secure, quiet and solid feeling. We said to ourselves, “this is the kind of place we would have gone to visit our grandmothers- when they were in their 50’s and active. “ It’s in a little neighborhood with some interesting shops and close to the bus line that you can take to other neat neighborhoods. It is spacious and cool in the summer heat. We were given thorough and thoughtful information at check-in that helped us guide ourselves through Rome. Thank you so much to our hosts. We want to come back!

The apartment is spacious, clean, well-equipped and a regular home away from home. It's location is excellent, with a bus to the centro practically outside the door, many eating places, convenience shops just metres away, as well as a large supermarket a block or so away. Giovanni is a very pleasant man and is available for contact if needed, but otherwise leaves you to enjoy your holiday. Overall, excellent value for a comfortable holiday. Grazie Giovanni.

Well Situated for Visiting the Vatican

We had a very comfortable two week stay in this apartment in May. It provided us with a lovely home base for our explorations in the city. There are some excellent restaurants in the neighborhood (Osteria Padi, Pizzeria Divina) and a supermarket (Carrefour) just up the street. There is a taxi stand just down the block to get to further away destinations in Rome, and it’s in easy walking distance to the Roma San Pietro train station. It only costs 1€ to take the train from San Pietro to Termini, cheaper than taxi. We went to the Vatican Museum on Friday at noon, and there was no line for tickets at all. If you didn’t get your tickets ahead of time, try Friday at noon. Don’t believe the hawkers telling you the line is 3 hours long. Check it yourself first. The apartment has a good kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals. The living room is very comfortable for reading and relaxing. The bed is also comfortable. We slept well here. We loved the marble and stone floors throughout. The building itself is solid and well maintained. The apartment on the 4th floor, but there is an elevator which works well, and is right next to the apartment, so very convenient. We did a lot of walking from this apartment. Piazza Navona is about 2km away, as is Campo de Fiori. Once you get to the other side of the Tiber, your transport options open up. We did not use any buses or trams on this trip, but did ride the Metro, and take taxis, when walking got to be too much. Overall we had a wonderful stay at this apartment and would stay there again. Its an excellent value if you are visiting the Vatican area.

You will NOT be disappointed!

Where to begin...? This flat is only 3 blocks from the Vatican. On our full-day tour of the Vatican (Papal Audience, lunch, museum, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica), we were able to dress warmly for the audience and then go to the flat to shed some layers for the rest of the day. Most convenient! We taxi'd to the other side of the river and walked and walked and walked. Rome is huge and so much to see. Rather than a Hop On-Hop Off bus, just pick an area and walk. There is so much to experience "on the ground" that you might miss from the bus. The apartment itself is wonderful. It is big! It's on a small private street so secluded. On the 4th floor - there is a lift so not to worry. There is a huge living area with the TV. Large entry space. A nice-sized kitchen that is fully equipped (even a dishwasher!). The bedroom is spacious with a dresser and plenty of hanging space. The bathroom is equipped with a toilet, bidet, sink, shower, and a washing machine. Energy is very expensive in Italy so not many have dryers. No worries - there is a rack for hanging clothes inside or outside on the balcony. You can see St. Peter's from the balcony. Best of all, this apartment comes with a very helpful and efficient host! We enlisted Giovanni to arrange a sedan to pick us up at the airport. He connected me with the driver via WhatsAPP so there were no concerns about where to meet, etc. He was there when we got there (after some delays on our part). When we got to the apartment, there were three people waiting for us to show us around. Again, when we left, the driver was there exactly on time to take us to the airport. Giovanni was available via email for questions and we asked many. It was just the two of us so the apartment was very roomy. The sofa might convert to a bed, but I'm not sure. If so, a family of 4 would be quite comfortable. Thank you, Giovanni, for all you and your team did to make our stay enjoyable and memorable!

Comfortable Retreat

Traveling to Rome recently, we were very relieved to have Giovanni's spacious apartment as our home base! Minutes from the Vatican, it was perfect for our multiple tours & trips to St. Peter's Square, the Basilica, Museum and the beautiful Easter Mass with Pope Francis. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and sitting room are comfortable & spacious and close to many shops & restaurants. In addition, the transfers to and from the airport along with the hometown welcome and highlights of Rome from Matteo were so appreciated! Thank you Giovanni & Matteo!

The apartment was superb! Very roomy and spacious, great bed, close to grocery stores and transit. Best of all it was only a couple blocks from the Vatican. We walked through St. Peter’s Square every day. Who can say that? It was the highlight of the 6 week vacation as our other stays were in hotel rooms. We really appreciated the owner’s input as well. Thanks for a great memorable stay!
