The stay was truly wonderful! We hired Fabio to shuttle us to/from the airport, eliminating the stress of navigating public transportation and saving time, so we could maximize our time in this beautiful city. Also, Fabio told us about the city and answered our questions during the drive.
Clo was so kind as to leave us a welcome basket, including wine, along with a nice note and delicious chocolates for our anniversary! Visiting Rome was our anniversary trip that had been delayed due to covid and the apartment was the PERFECT LOCATION for visiting all the sites on our list. We enjoyed the short walk to the Vatican (my #1 item on bucket list) and had a view of St. Peter's Dome from the apartment's deck from the main bedroom.
We also enjoyed the walk to the Pantheon, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and more. We wandered along the river, up and down the many alleys and stopped to enjoy coffee, a glass of wine or beer and sampled the many, many great food offerings. We put on 10+ miles a day. I LOVED the walk back to the apartment each night, cutting through St. Peter's Square, with the Basilica lit up.
We had many great meals within easy walk of the apartment, just up the street. Padi's was our favorite. There were also many small mini-marts near the apartment and a grocery store. The first night we walked to the grocery store and picked up fruits and veggies, cheese and meats and olives. We had this for breakfast each morning on one of the decks (depending on the sun.....we lucked out and had beautiful weather every day). The apartment was well equipped and in a great location for exploring Rome. Our hosts made us feel welcome and comfortable in our home away from home.
