The Castello vacation apartment in Rome is located in the safe, elegant and popular Prati neighborhood. It just behind Castel Sant'Angelo, the Pope's refuge in more turbulent times, and steps from Saint Peter's Basilica. Cross the Tiber river across the bridge of Angels in front of the castle and you'll find yourself near the popular Piazza Navona, a ten minute walk.
Walk out your front door three blocks to reach one of the most popular shopping areas for Romans, the Via Cola di Rienzo which features fine clothing and gourmet food shops, good restaurants, cafes and prices that are a bit lower than the tourist-only areas of the historic center. Food shopping in this neighborhood is excellent with everything from a covered market, gourmet shops and supermarkets.
Building
