My Mum and Aunt stayed for eight days in this elegant, chic apartment and have no hesitation in giving it a five star recommendation to the discerning visitor. The apartment is well designed, furnished tastefully and spacious enough for two or three adults. There is a large living/kitchen area leading onto a delightful terrace where the only ‘disturbance’ will be the occasional sounds of singing coming from the adjacent monastery! The bedroom, which has a sunny balcony leading of it, has a king-size bed and generous wardrobe space. The bathroom is large and like the rest of the apartment tastefully decorated; two large sofas in the living room turn into another comfortable bed if there are three visitors. Although you’ll be living in what was a medieval monastery you’ll find everything in this apartment very 21st century. The location is perfect for travelling on foot to all the major sites (15 minutes to the Vatican, Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Trasdavere, Borghese Gardens and no more than 20mins or 25mins to the Coliseum. You are minutes away from the delightful Campo di fiori and you’ll enjoy great Italian food in the multitude and variety of cafes, restaurants, patisseries, not to mention fabulous shops and boutiques that abound in this area and beyond. Ms Fontana was the perfect host, advising my Mum and Aunt before their trip and supporting them whilst there. So the verdict is that if you want to ‘live like a Roman’ in the heart of a thriving interesting community this apartment is definitely for you!
