This is simply a wonderful place to stay, and I could not recommend it more highly. The rental was everything I wanted and needed while visiting Rome during the very hot and busy tourist season. Located in a lovely green area in the heart of the Via Appia Antica, it felt at least 10 degrees cooler at the villa than in the city center! I chose not to rent a car because there is a little bus that runs every half hour that drops you at a metro station in just 10 minutes. I also cannot say enough about the hospitality of Federico and his family. They are wonderful hosts and I look forward to staying at the apartment on my next trip to Rome.
