Raffaele’s sunken cave apartment was the perfectly cool air conditioned haven for our very Hot Roma visit late June. It was getting up to 100° in Rome and having a cool dark apartment with a pool you can make cool or warm was awesome for the hottest part of the day. The apartment itself is perfect for 1 or 2 people and the bed is the largest bed we found in Italy travels. Location of the home; decent for those wishing to bus 15-30min to attractions or walk a short distance to catch a cab (most cabs were 8-15minutes to our desired restaurants or attractions) and all we’re about 10€. You are across the bridge, once you cross the bridge there are tons of different mixed use neighborhoods (shops/food/residences). You are closest to the Vatican about a 10-12min walk. Nearby shops include a pharmacy, a few cafes, Manny’s Gelato shop, Tony+Dinos dinner restaurant and the edge of the Vatican shopping. Check in was easy and we were greeted to be shown function of pool and given keys.
