We arrived into the centre of Rome, walked right up the avenue to the Vatican, before turning off to find our apartment nestled in the historical fortification walls of the Vatican City, with views from the back bedroom over the dome of St. Peter's. the street was peaceful and there was a wonderful fruit shop and an ice cream parlour right around the corner. Inside it was light and airy with two lovely bedrooms and a small but well stocked kitchen which fulfilled all our needs.
It was the perfect base for all our explorations in the city. We must have been some of the only people in history who saw the Castel Saint Angelo rise up beyond the river and think 'oh good, we're nearly home' after a long days walking in the heat.
We hope to stay again in the future!
