Our time at Gianluca’s house was wonderful and memorable! Above all the location was ideal. After a day of seeing the sights in Rome we were able to come back to a charming, laid back neighborhood for drinks and dinner. We usually started the evening a 15 minute walk away in the busier, bustling part of Trastevere but felt fortunate to be able to end it at a very quiet part of it. There are still a large number of utterly charming bars and restaurants but much more quiet and understated (and more elegant) than in the busy part. Truly the best of both worlds! I should also note that, though the house is away from the noisy part of Trastevere, it’s still very much well within the scenic “picture postcard” charming area. The modern-ish suburban area is still a very long way off. You really feel like you’re living on a movie set!
Upon arrival we were given a complete briefing on how to use everything in the apartment, along with lots of useful advice and tips for the area and tourism in general. After the briefing we were given a binder with all the information for our reference. Excellent service!
We’ll definitely want to stay here next time we come to Rome if it’s available! I also should recommend eating at Trattoria da Enzo just around the corner. It’s so close to the apartment yet is one of the highly recommended restaurants in the city. Make sure to make reservations early, though because it’s notoriously hard to get in.
