Amazing Location, amazing apartment, fantastic hosts!
We had such a lovely break in Rome, and it was made all the better by booking Svevo’s apartment in Monti.
It’s in a lovely location, above a lovely little street with the most friendliest of people. Accessible to everything, I would say in the perfect location to see everything. We walked 44miles whilst there for 3 nights as it was central to everything. The colosseum is at the end of the road and the food offerings around here are beaut. Had lovely meals at Alle Carrette, Barzilai (the ricotta and honey was to die for!) and Ai Tre Scalini. Breakfast was lovely at Ce Stamo a Pensa and ice cream and Canoli were beaut at Cuiri Cuiri.
Francesca - Svevo’s cousin - gave us a lovely welcome and the list of recommendations were perfect.
We won’t hesitate to book an apartment with Svevo when we visit again!
Thanks so much Svevo and Francesca!

Top tip: when visiting Vatican get up early and get there for 7am. St. Peter’s. Basilica opens at 7am and is beautiful when the sun is rising...the dome opens at 7.30 and there was about 10 of us up there.
Vatican museum opens at 9 and we were in the queue for 8.20. First ones in, quiet and got to see everything without massive crowds.
By 9.30 the place is heaving :) xx
