Why the Owner Chose Navona
The apartment is in the same building than my home, so I can help my guests on every eventuality. You'll feel at home and you'll live in Rome as Romans do.
My family lives in this area since Julius Caesar's era. That's why I love and know very well my town.
One of the most valued features of the apartment is its location in the old district of Rome: it gets you away from the tourist crowds and right into a wonderful, Italian neighbourhood “Centro Storico”.
Address: Via Banchi Vecchi.
The apartment block is situated between the Vatican and Campo de’ Fiori, in the heart of historical and archaeological Rome.
The location of the apartment makes it easy to get to all the places of interest
(Piazza Navona, Castel S. Angelo, Colosseo… monuments and museums)
either by walking or by taking the convenient bus lines.
Well connected to all areas of Rome by public transportation (bus stops, taxi stands are so accessible).
The area is very safe.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

Chère Mirella, Ces 4 jours de city trip à Rome dans votre appartement furent une parenthèse ensoleillée superbe dans notre automne belge. Nous avons adoré Rome!!! Quel bonheur d'être au coeur de la ville et pouvoir tout visiter à pied... votre appartement est vraiment magnifique! Merci pour votre accueil si chaleureux et vos explications concernant l'histoire de Rome! Nous avons été très heureux de faire votre connaissance. Si vous passez par Bruxelles, n'hésitez pas à nous faire signe! On vous embrasse. Céline et Xavier

Dear Mirella, Pete & I say "Grazie Mille" and "Merci bien" for your hospitality. We very much appreciate your arranging our cab on our arrival night. And that you welcomed us with open arms when we arrived, due to our late plane, at 12:30 am! You were also so helpful with many things we needed during our stay... and always ready and willing to be of help. Our apartment was spacious and wonderfully quiet - a nice rest from the hub-bub that is Roma. We wish you Buona Fortuna e Arrivederci ! Sue & Pete CA USA

Dear Mirella, thank you for your hospitality, you have been a most gracious host. Upon reading the reviews from your former guests, we knew we wanted to stay with you because you would be so very helpful to us. Your generosity in so many ways - maps, bus tickets, trying to find my mother's perfume, the wool shawl that kept me warm on a cool day, the beautiful plate for our anniversary and the hot tea after a long day of sightseeing - meant a grat deal to us. We felt as if we were taken care by our own family. We also appreciated your lovely apartment. It was nice to come home to a confortable and warm bed each night. Please accept our open invitation for you to come visit us sometime in Colorado. Many blessing + auguri ! Jon & Susan
