La Violetta, Exquisite and Chic 1 BR Apt. in Central Location

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Vaticano (St. Peters & Vatican)

When we purchased this flat, we thought it would have been perfect for a vacation, as it is located very close to the Vatican Museums, one of the most exciting world heritage site. It also near the Metro, allowing easily access to other significant sites of Rome. You do not need to use a car, as it is within easy walking distance of all the attractions.

The Unique Benefits at this Apartment

We think this apartment is not banal. We furnished it with furniture bought from antique shops or inherited from our grandparents, in order to make it suitable and comfortable for our guests. Moreover, it is located in a lovely district full of beautiful buildings, with cafés, restaurants, good shopping and a scrumptious indoor market right on your doorstep.

H
ICE CREAM

The best one. The real, natural ice cream with no additives!

 

Owner's Map of Vaticano (St. Peters & Vatican)

This newly refurbished apartment has been in our family since 1930. Refurbishment was managed by 2 architects who have brought a rare feeling of clarity, character and style to a really unique space. It is superbly located for visiting the Vatican and the City as a whole, and my husband and I are always available for advice and guidance on the best and most interesting bits of Rome.

    • Believe everything everyone says in these overwhelmingly positive reviews & look no further for the perfect home away from home in Rome! Alessandra was wonderfully communicative, thoughtful and cheerfully flexible every step of the way, from her prompt email responses to the time we reluctantly said goodbye. The flat is immaculately clean, super quiet, comfortable yet stylish & roomy with plenty of storage for bags & clothes, and ideally located in a fantastic, safe & walkable neighborhood close to all major sights, the metro, markets & restaurants. We especially appreciated the washer-dryer and laptop with Internet access. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Thanks for everything Alessandra!

    • Alessandra's warm, helpful & hospitable spirit was evident from the time I communicated with her about availability of this charming apartment until the day we left Rome. After arranging a driver from the apartment for us and checking on us by phone after our airplane arrival, she met us on the street in front of the apartment to show us around and make us feel welcome and at home. The apartment is as lovely as the pictures on the website (if not more so), very clean, comfortable and had many extra amenities. We enjoyed the welcome basket of pasta, sauce, wine & other goodies. We were able to get anywhere in Rome so conveniently either by foot or by the Metro, which is situated only a few blocks away. Also, don't miss the market just down the street for an authentic shopping experience. Alessandra's warm hospitality, charming personality, graciousness and helpfulness made our stay in Rome so much more pleasant. It was a pleasure meeting you Alessandra and we will definitely stay in your apartment again if we find ourselves in Rome! Ciao!

    • Alessandra, The apartment worked very well for us. We could walk to all the major site, or catch the Metro on a rainy day. The apartment is clean, spacious, and well-maintained. After spending three weeks in hotels, this was very welcome. We very much appreciate your help to get settled, and it was a pleasure to briefly meet your family. Grazie e Ciao, Andy & Vineeta

    • Dear Alessandra We loved your appartment, beautifully renovated - high spec, very clean and fitted out with everything you could possibly need. It is so conveniently located for everything:shopping, restaurants, transport to everywhere in Rome and of course the Vatican. Shame we only had 4 days as we were feeling quite at home. Thanks for your hospitality and helpfulness. Fred and Rose, London GB

    • Alessandra made us feel right at home from the second that she met us on the street and accompanied us to her charming apartment. It was sparkling clean, spacious, comfortable and quiet (truly a home away from home. The location was amazing! We easily walked to St.Peter's, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Nevona and more churches than we could count. When needed, the Metro was minutes away. Alessandra was most helpful in giving tips to good eating places and made herself available to us should we have any questions. She even arranged for a driver to the airport. There is no doubt that we would recommend this apartment to all our friends and anyone else who wants to enjoy their stay in Rome.

    • Thanks to Alessandra for how helpful she has been. The welcome basket was so generous & the apartment is fantastic. Location is great, only 10 mins from Vatican and Metro stops. We found a lovely restaurant called 'Abruzzese', which is 2 minutes by foot. I especially recommend the bruschette with garlic to start and the calzone. All in all it has been an amazing honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for more. We are definetely going to recommend this apartment to family and friends. Thank you!

    • Gracias Alessandra y Massimiliano! Ha sido una gran suerte encontrarte por internet, - menuda efectividad pues gracias a que Alessandra es una 'pazza' del internet pude acordar la reserva de este maravilloso apartamento; desde la reserva del mismo ha sido genial nunca me habia encontrado con nadie que respondiera a los correos electronicos tan rápido. Gracias Alessandra, eres todo un ejemplo a seguir! El apartamento es una maravilla, la ubicacion es perfecta, està en uno de los barrios mejores de Roma para vivir, lleno de tiendas interesantes, y con toque de glamour. Por otro lado, tiene la heladeria mejor de Roma a 4 manzanas, esto si que es un detalle que no puede pasar por alto. Tenéis el desayuno incluido, en una cafeteria muy cerca, donde te dan una "colazione" por todo lo alto. Hemos pasado unas vacaciones incribles y en este apartamento nos hemos encontrado mejor que en casa! De hecho ya se ha quedado bautizado con el nombre de " Nuestra casa en Roma" Carolina & Carlos
