A fantastic and very tastefully decorated and well equipped apartment in a grand old building in the beautifully and well located Trastevere region. We were greeted by Valentina at the time agreed and settling in was easy. It is an easy ten minute walk one way over the bridge to the central area of Rome, and right into the Campo de’ Fiori market and ten minutes the other way up the hill for the best views of Rome. Surrounded by a selection of great restaurants. And if you want to cook you can easily pick up what you need from the small co-ops dotted around. We were walking distance from most everything, the Vatican, the Pantheon, piazza Navina, the Spanish steps, the Trevi fountain, although on the first day we took the taxi to the Colloseum to beat the queues and get there ultra early even with our pre booked skip the queue tickets. But ensure you pack good walking shoes because you will need them treading the cobbled streets and the miles you will cover! We did an unexpected visit to the Castel Sant ‘Angelo with fantastic views of the city from the cafe at the top where we just had to stop for some refreshments! Were were blessed with four lovely days of weather 18 to 22oC and lots of sunshine. We took our three children and it was probably their first proper City break and they really enjoyed it, especially the gelato from the great little ice cream shop on the corner just down the street from the apartment. We kept the visits to the ‘boring’ attractions to a minimum and avoided the Vatican museum and Palatine hill as we felt these would hold no appeal for the children and we wouldn’t subject them to the queues. All in all it was a great trip, staying in a fantastic apartment in a super location and was made even more special by revisiting Rome on our 20th wedding anniversary having last visited during our honeymoon.
