This top floor apartment in a building at the end of a street has the most amazing view of the Duomo. It’s a perfect size for a family of four. When we first got there, Francesca met us right away and called us a taxi to make it to our tour on time. She let us leave our bags early, and told us exactly where to park our rental car to be safe. (BTW, use the FREE NOW app to get a taxi around Rome. It works quickly and you can pay with ApplePay.)
Elevator made it easy to make it to the top. The bedrooms had air conditioning, which came in handy on hot days. But because we were on a bluff, if you opened the doors and windows, the fresh breeze blowing through the apartment made our midday naps relaxing.
Francesca greeted us both mornings with breakfast and coffee set on the outside patio table. The view of the city in the morning while having coffee is what I’ll remember most. If you want a meal, it’s easiest to take a short walk down the hill. There are many choices within 5-10 minutes. But the best discovery was a wine bar called Dadò Chalet; 4 min walk from the apartment. They make a good Old Fashioned, and served a great antipasto plate. Perfect to end the evening. (Get there before 10; it gets busy with locals.)
Great views of the city, roomy accommodations, wonderful service. If we make it back to Rome, we will stay here again. Grazie Francesca.
