Giacinto’s place exceeded all our expectations. Looks exactly like the pictures, but even better in person. My husband and I enjoyed drinking wine in the evenings on the balcony. Our 2 sons (11 & 13) loved having their own stairs to their room. The cottage is incredibly peaceful. We found it easy to walk most places or take the bus/tram to Rome’s city center. The stairs into and back out of Trastevere are a lot, but doable. We walked down them and back up all the staircases almost daily. I am 39 years old and was born with a heart condition and I found that if I just took my time ,with the occasional break, it was no problem. We highly recommend staying at Giacinto’s cottage. You will not be disappointed.
