We loved staying in this apartment! As you can see in the photos, it's a traditional Roman building and the apartment itself is an unusual wedge shape; so different in every way from the anonymous, corporate-styled rooms that tend to be found in the majority of hotels. There's much to enjoy in the apartment itself: the style of the furniture and furnishings; the prints on the walls; an interesting selection of books in various languages including some excellent guides to Rome; and so many small thoughtful touches to make guests feel at home - as well as a washing machine and dishwasher. There's even a courtyard terrace that gets the sun, where guests can relax with a drink or light meal.
We were greeted on arrival by Frederica and her mother, Gabriella, who insisted on carrying our bags up the 57 steps from ground level. The steps mean that you can choose to do a quick cardio workout each time you return - or you can plod up slowly as we did!
Frederica could not have been more helpful, and her responses were always prompt, including the couple of times during our stay when we had questions to ask.
We loved the location too, just across the road from the Castel Sant'Angelo bridge over the Tiber, with views from the windows of the fortress itself. It's a short walk to the Vatican and popular locations like Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, to name but two.
There are 2 direct bus routes (40 and 64) to the main rail station (Termini) from a stop not far from the apartment, and a few bus routes terminate in the nearby square. Then there are other routes that head one side or the other of the Tiber depending on the direction required, and others that serve different parts of the centre.
We stayed three nights and would have loved to stay longer. We would not hesitate to recommend the place to anyone looking for a memorable base from which to explore Rome.
