If you want to experience 'la dolce vita' in Bella Roma, you simply MUST stay here!
Massimo and Marina were very helpful and welcoming hosts when my children and I stayed in Rome. They were extremely quick to respond to our emails and offered helpful advice on different aspects of our travel, which was very much appreciated. Marina was so helpful and gracious on our arrival at the apartment and explained everything.
The location of the apartment simply can't be beaten. The Colosseum is literally just out the window - we couldn't believe it! And the Forum and Metro are right next door, too. Buses and trams are just at the end of the street.
The flat is absolutely stunning - we were so impressed. It is very spacious with great storage and a full kitchen with every amenity you could need or want. It's luxurious yet so liveable. The wi-fi is very reliable, too.
Another special feature is the quiet and safe lift - a luxury in many European apartments and very appreciated when you have heavy suitcases! The two bathrooms are also a luxury with European flats, but fabulous when there are more than two of you.
We found the flat to be very safe and secure - important for all travellers. The windows are modern and secure so the flat is peaceful, the bedrooms are quiet and a goodnight's sleep is assured.
You will save on money and time staying here, as you are RIGHT in the heart of Rome's historical area, so you'll be able to walk to a number of key sights. It's great to do the Forum first thing in the morning before the lines of tourists build up then return to the apartment for lunch and maybe a siesta. Then in the afternoon, visit the Colosseum after the lines calm down a little.
Cafes, bars and restaurants are everywhere around the apartment; if you don't use the fabulous kitchen, you will be spoiled for food choices. There's also a comprehensively-stocked supermarket that opens late for all your requirements.
I would also advise you to take Massimo's excellent and wise recommendation and book transfers through him. We were met at the airport by our driver in an air-conditioned Mercedes van; he kindly organised all the bags and quickly drive us to the apartment. No worries for us about traffic, trains and forgetting or struggling with luggage - it was a breeze!
Thank you so much to Massimo and Marina for their wonderful flat and kind hospitality - we are sad to leave la Bella Roma and can't wait to return!
