Not knowing anything about Rome, we booked this based almost entirely on the photos provided. We are so very glad that we did!
Looking at a map of Rome, it’s clear that this home is near Vatican City, but it seemed at first to be a little further from the other main tourist attractions of Rome. However, once we arrived it was clear that not only was the location perfect for us (40ish couple and 7yo daughter), but the space itself is absolutely stunning.
It’s around the corner from the Metro A line, so getting around the city in that regard is very handy (as well as to and from the airport, if that’s how you were to do it - though our hose arranged a car to meet us at the airport, at our request, which was fantastic). We chose to walk everywhere during our stay, which was fantastic - losing ourselves in the back streets of a city is exactly how we like to travel - but if you want to take more direct routes, the location is very handy to some large thoroughfares that will take you right to the city’s main attractions.
Unfortunately, our host was sick while we were there, so we didn’t get to meet in person. However, they were always available on the phone and online. There was a fantastic list of suggested restaurants and bars provided, as well as directions to the local supermarket and farmers’ market. We took advantage of a few restaurant suggestions, but also cooed a bit in the home, as the kitchen invites use.
As for the space itself - swoon! Our daughter was straight up into the mezzanine, which she promptly claimed as her own, and loved the feeling of being removed from the adult world while still being right there. The beds seemed to be the memory foam type, which we love, and the bedrooms are large and beautiful. The open plan main room is very creative and welcoming.
This home really is a fantastic option for those wanting to come in from the excitement of Rome to find a quiet, relaxing, and artistic space. Highly recommended.
