Pigna is the name of rione IX of Rome, located in Municipio I of the city. The name means "pine cone" in Italian, and the symbol for the rione is the colossal bronze pine cone, the Pigna.
The giant bronze pine cone (Pigna) once decorated a fountain in Ancient Rome next to a vast Temple of Isis. There water flowed copiously from the top of the pinecone.
History

The Pigna was moved first to the Old Basilica of Saint Peter, where Dante saw it and employed it in the Divina Commedia as a simile for the giant proportions of the face of Nimrod.
In the 15th century it was moved to its current location, the upper end of Bramante's Cortile del Belvedere, which is now usually called in its honour the Cortile della Pigna, linking the Vatican and the Palazzo del Belvedere. There it stands today under Pirro Ligorio's vast niche at the far end, flanked by a pair of Roman bronze peacocks brought from Hadrian's mausoleum, the Castel Sant'Angelo.

Feel that photos need to be updated, obviously the photos were taken a very long time ago. The lounge was dirty and very uncomfortable. Said there was Netflix had to use your own login and it still wouldn’t connect. There was no hand soap at the basin and the only roll of toilet paper was the one on the toilet roll holder and we were there for 3 days. Was in a great location. We understand it’s a very old building, but didn’t live up to the photos at all. Maybe we were spoilt by the places we stayed in Naples and Sorrento.

3 days in Rome July 2025

Charming apartment perfectly located in the center of Rome. All major attractions within 20 minutes walking, most within 10 minutes. Taxi required for Vatican only (or a 40 minute walk). Host arranged our seamless transfer from airport and is quick to respond to all inquiries and very helpful. My family very much enjoyed our stay here.

The location of the site is amazing. Perfectly located close to many attractions, especially the Parthenon. Unfortunately, during our three night stay in July, the air conditioning did not work. While the host did try to address the issue while we were there, we ended up trying to sleep there for three very hot nights. Also, please note, even after you pay VRBO for the stay, there is still a city tax you will need to pay the host after your stay. Despite all this, my wife an I had a wonderful time visiting Rome.

Perfect Spot for a Quick Stay in Rome

We stayed just one night and had a great experience. The apartment was clean, pretty, and exactly as described. The location was excellent—central and easy to access. The host was friendly and responsive, and check-in was simple. No complaints at all. Would definitely recommend for a short stay in the city!

A comfortable gem of an apartment just a short walk from major areas

Apartment is in an excellent location and has a huge deadbolt on the door to make you feel extra safe. There is a washing machine and drying rack too for small loads. The host communicates exceptionally well. Very easy process and we were very comfortable later at night walking around. There is a convenient store with food and dry goods 200 steps away which is a huge benefit for waters and snacks.I will absolutely stay again when we decide to revisit Rome!!!

Didn't match pictures

This apartment is in a great location, but it needs a lot of work. The laminate floor is peeling, the kitchen sink is cracked and stained, and the walls are spattered with stains. The lighting is poor, and the furniture is tired. The bed is fine, the water pressure is good, and the hot water was plentiful, but we were paying nearly 300 per night, and we expected the apartment to look like the photos - crisp, clean, and worth the price being charged. The building is quite old and very dirty. We travel a lot, and this was one of the worst apartments we have stayed in.

Our host was not there when we arrived. But after contacting her, she opened the door remotely and sent a video to how to access the apartment. The apartment was clean, but very small for a party of four. But we knew that going in we made the most of it and it worked out very well. Loved the location. Everything was within easy walking distance. Give us a great opportunity to see Central with no problems.

Cozy apartment close to everything

We stayed one week. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked well in the bedroom as it was in the 90’s the week we were there. The apartment is a short walk to the Pantheon. There are several close grocery stores. We didn’t cook but had breakfast and wine and cheese in the apartment. The kitchen is in a cabinet so not too much room but fine for our needs. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby.

Wonderful Apartment in the Heart of Rome

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. Our host, Mariano, started communicating with us several days before we arrived to make sure we were all set for the stay. He met us at the property and gave us a detailed explanation of everything we needed to know for the property and the general area of the city. The apartment was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for our 3 day stay and was a nice size for our family of 3. It’s located on a quaint street just a 5-10 minute walk from the Pantheon. We also were able to walk to the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Campo de Fiori, Piazza Navona, Trastevere, and the Vatican. We didn’t use public transportation, but walked by both taxi stands and bus stops close to the apartment. There’s a supermarket conveniently located less than a block away and too many good restaurants and cafes to count in the area. The surrounding area was safe to explore and lively both during the day and in the evening. We would recommend the apartment to anyone traveling to Rome.

Amazing stay in Rome's Historic Center

I LOVED my stay at the Raffaello Inn during the first week of June. The front of the building, with its flowering ivy, looks like something from a fairy tale. The apartment in the 500-year-old building is comfortable, clean, and charming! Mariano greeted me when I arrived and gave me a thorough tour of the apartment, as well as tips on where to eat in the neighborhood. He was so friendly, funny, and welcoming! This location is fantastic—right near all the top sights. The next street over, there is a supermarket. I was able to save so much by getting a few groceries in and eating a few meals at "home," a cafe within a two-minute walk.

Quaint

The apartment was just as decribed, very lovely. Mariano was so easy to work with. He met us at the property and gave us a wonderful overview of the city. The location was nice. It was walking distance to most attractions. We took a cab to the colleseum and to Vatican City. If you prefer to stay in the middle of the action, you need to change locations. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the airconditioner (until June, we visited in May) due to the company in the area. Because we had to keep the windows open, there was much noise from traffic, sirens and a particular bird that kept making sounds all night long. My husband named it Doe-doe bird! People sometimes walk and talk in front of the property. Overall impression was good!! Thank you Mariano for everything!

Centrally located to all of the major sites in Rome! We were within walking distance to Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Capitoline Hill, Roman Forum, Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Vatican City and the Trastevere area known for their restaurants. But first... Neri was the best host! She was very accommodating to our schedule. We had previously booked tours that did not coincide with check in times and she worked with us to drop off our luggage at a time that worked with our schedule. Mariano met us at the apartment and he couldn't have been more accommodating... Making sure we knew where everything was, showing us all of the amenities of the apartment, how to use the keys / apartment access, and even made some great restaurant suggestions in Campo di Fiore! Overall a great experience, cute apartment, and perfect location. we will definitely be reaching out to Neri next time we come to Rome!
