Me and my partner stayed at Giovanna’s beautiful property located in Pigneto. When you enter you are greeted with a stunning marble staircase decorated with a large collection of books of art and history of the country (which you are more than welcome to read at your leisure). The room is aesthetically pleasing! It is large and has a spacious bed that comes with plenty of storage options. The bathroom is just opposite that has a shower and Giovanna has ensured that everything a guest would need is there such as luxury’s shampoos, conditioner, razors etc. We had a lot of early mornings and took advantage of the espresso machine that is free for all to use. We highly recommend going to the terrace of the building, it has lovely views of town and enjoyed some of evenings with a glass of wine or started our morning with an espresso taking in the views. There is also a room located up there for washing and drying clothes and detergent available for guests to use. The property is very well located for transport, over the road there is a metro that you can jump on that will take you into the heart of rome and similarly there are busses that run often that stop 2 mins walk from the house. Please do not be discouraged as it is not in the centre of Rome, this will give you the true taste of Rome with authentic Italian cuisine without all the tourist traps, you can see where the locals hang out! There are plenty of restaurants and cafes including grocery shops to get local/ fresh produce.
Giovanna is an amazing host, and is excellent with her communication skills and very friendly which made us feel at ease. Me and partner love travelling and going to new places, however this place is an exception, we would come back here in a heartbeat.
