Our luxury one bedroom apartment owned by an English-Italian couple, is located a few streets from St Peter's and Castel St. Angelo.

The apartment is about 60 sqm, on the top floor of a 1920's building. There is a lift and a full time caretaker, it has been fully renovated and includes all needed appliances. The apartment is very bright with stunning views. It has a modern and very spacious living room with a sofa bed that can comfortably sleep two, also a single bed futon.

Satellite TV is included as well as a DVD player and a CD stereo player and Wireless internet access.

The bedroom comes complete with a large cupboard with a king size bed. High standard bathroom with hair-dryer. The apartment is beautifully furnished with antique furniture and paintings.
Bedroom and living room both have air conditioning. There is also central heating in all rooms, so that you can be comfortable if it is winter or summer. The kitchen is completely equipped with a microwave, 4 burner gas range with oven, toaster, kettle, fridge, plus all the necessary cooking utensils.

A washing machine vacuum cleaner, flat iron and ironing board, complete the list of amenities.

The apartment is in walking distance form the sites of Rome- Piazza Navona- Piazza di Spagna- The Vatican Museum with the Sistine Chapel- Castel St. Angelo, the former tomb of Emperor Hadrian converted by the Pope's as their fortress and where Tosca through herself in the river Tiber.

The narrow little roads around St. Peter's, the Borgo area, have a different feel and you can sense the hum of everyday life. Ordinary people live here and go about their daily business like their fellow Romans, who breath less holy air, away from the magnificence of the Vatican. Our electrician is the Pope's electrician.

Prati is a great shopping area for shoes, handbags and clothes in all price ranges and there are many tempting profumerie selling cosmetics and perfumes. A Saturday morning spent window-shopping in Via Cola di Rienzo you are ready for a more self-indulgence and pleasure in the fabulous food stores.
The gastronomia Franchi is right next to the Alladin's cave that is Castroni. Both of this food stores are irresistible. Franchi has a great salumeria counter piled high with every form of temptation, with cheeses from Italy, France, and Great Britten and many different hams and salamis. Deeper into store are prepared dishes like stuffed tomatoes and splendid looking shelled prawns, and Rome's favourite fried nibbles, which are prepared in batches. There is a wonderful selection of wines and many people come here for a gastronomic snack. Castroni sells groceries from all over the world. Across the road from Castroni there is a covered food market selling fish, meat, fruit and vegetable and not too far away, in Via Germanico, there is the restaurant Girarrosto which serves the best beef in Rome. There are many local pubs, pizzerias, restaurants and all the conveniences of modern living, such as beauty parlors, pharmacies, groceries, coffee shops, laundry shops, internet points , gelaterie (Ice Cream), Shoe Repair, Flower Shops, and the best mini market, Sidis, just in the next building from ours.

  • Thank you Clara for our third enjoyable stay at your very nice appartment. It is so convenient with access to St Peters and central Rome and shops for food. The weather was ideal so we did much walking ambling for a lot of the time as well as sightseeing.

  • A great location and a lovely, safe and quiet neighbourhood retreat after Rome's hectic pace. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and although the kitchen was tiny, it served our needs. Sidis mini mart 2 minutes away was always handy as were some very good local restaurants within easy walking distance. We especially enjoyed riding the quaint elevator. A very good first time Roman experience we would recommend.

  • Clara’s Alberico apartment exceeded our expectations and perfectly suited our stay in the Eternal City for 11 days. The owner’s daughter, English-speaking, Francesca, proved to be gracious and personable, willing to answer our questions and give helpful advice upon arrival. Staying there provided an opportunity to be part of the rhythm and bustling life of the exciting city through integration with the locals. We felt very safe and enjoyed exploring a plethora of shops and eateries, while strolling through various residential neighborhoods. Relishing eating outdoors with the sight of Castel Sant’Angelo lit up in the background, we enjoyed dining in the leisurely Italian style—never any pressure to “turn the table.” Its close proximity to public transportation helped immensely. I had secured tickets to a double-decker sight-seeing bus before leaving the US, and the stop turned out to be a short walk away. This gave us the opportunity to get a feel for the city and plan our stops. When we arrived back at the apartment exhausted from sight-seeing and an unseasonable spell of hot weather, the air conditioner proved delightful. Also, we could either eat in or rest in its comfy environs to go out later to dine in the cool of the evening. I always enjoyed throwing open the shuttered windows in the morning to see the little swallows flying about with their high-pitched sounds. I would highly recommend this place, and hope to return in the future.

  • Thank you, Clara, for a wonderful stay in your very beautiful apartment. Everything was more than was promised. The area is perfect, safe, and easy to walk to the Vatican and many of Rome's most famous monuments. Staying in your apartment made our Roman Holiday the best ever! We hope to stay with you again on our next trip. Best wishes, Nathalie and Jim

  • My family of four had a wonderful holiday at this apartment. Great location!!!! Right by Vatican, it is an eight minute walk to the metro stop, from the metro stop we were at the Colosseum in 25 minutes. Lots of dining and shops near the apartment. There is also a market on the next block, We were able to save a lot of money by using the market and having dinner at the apartment. I would definitely stay here again!

  • My friend and I stayed here for a week. We found the apt. very comfortable,clean and well equipped. It is an excellent location in a quiet neighborhood but very close to restaurants and shopping and St. Peter's. The views from the apt. were wonderful and memorable. We would stay here again.
