It is true that it’s not the places you go that make a vacation, but it’s the people you meet. Our hosts, Mariano and Francesca, where the high light of our trip to Rome. They made us feel extremely welcome and cared for. Mariano was communicative and helpful with travel assistance even before we arrived. I felt he was our travel agent by securing local transportation, detail restaurant recommendations (we use them all -exceptional), and mapping out a walking tour of Rome’s finest attractions - all ready upon our arrival. Francesca greeted us every morning with her beautiful smile, and served us a traditional Italian breakfast. She helped us with our Italian and made us feel ever so welcome.
The apartment is situated in a well maintained Ancient Rome building. The apartment itself is modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. The place contains numerous attention to detail items that made our stay feel like a high end resort.
The location provided effortless access to Vatican City and an array of fine and causal dining. The historical sites of Rome are easily accessed by Metro or within walking distance. I recommend Mariano’s walking tour. An easy day long walk that takes you to all the Rome highlights, and more. Truly a great experience. When in Rome stay at the Great Vatican Guest House, it’s truly great!
