  • Having just returned from buying 3 chocolate Cornetti at the local bakery for breakfast, I realized I had not updated our 2005 comment. Since 2005 we have stayed at Villa Arnobio evey year but one. So, the update: The apartment has improved with the addition of air conditioning, new windows and internet connection. What has not changed is the ambiance of this supeerb location and especially the attention to the comfort of guests extended by Adriana and Paolo. Read the comments and the praise given to these two great people and our friends. None of them are exagerations. If you are looking for a comfortable apartment in a great location with exceptional hospitality, you need look no further. As we said in our 2005 comment, should you like to contact us directly, do not hesitate. We are at 918-584-0881, my law office. If I am not there, just leave a message and I will return the call.

  • We just returned from a six night stay in Casa Adriana. We were there from Sept 25 thru Oct 1, 2008. Paolo and Adriana were great. We were in contact from the time we made our reservation until shortly before our arrival. Paolo made us a taxi reservation from the airport which was great. I highly recommend this. We arrived late at night but Adriana and Paolo gave us a tour of the home and the area and Paolo even drove us to a restaurant because we were starving. The apartment is wonderful. You feel like you are a resident of Rome while there. The location is great also, close to all public transportation. We ate in the recommended nearby restaurants which the locals use. That was also a great experience. After touring all day we would relax on the balcony with a bottle of Italian wine. I can't say enough good things about Paolo, Adriana and the apartment. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

  • This apartment was perfect for my group of 4 women (including a teenager and my 80+ years old grandmother. We had plenty of space in the apartment and we were very comfortable. And we loved the location!!!! It was so much fun to walk to the grocery store and neighborhood restaurants. It was great to have the coffee shop on the corner. The people were so nice to us! It did not matter that we only speak English. Adriana and Paolo are wonderful people. They are so very helpful. I hope to stay in their apartment again some time. This is so much better than a hotel. (Our stay was in July - but I just now remembered to write this comment.)

  • To anyone thinking of renting this apartment, you will NOT be disappointed. Recently, my wife and I came to Rome with my wife's parents and decided to rent Adriana's beautiful apartment. We had a wonderful stay and both Adriana and Paolo are excellent hosts. They make every effort to help you with anything you need. They are two very kind people who give you much better service than any hotel ever would. The apartment itself is perfect for four or five people. It is situated away from the tourists but close enough to the metro station and buses to help you get anywhere. You really feel like you are living in the true Roma while living there. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and if you're lucky enough to get to know Adriana and Paolo, it is a bonus. We will definitely be back!

  • Dear Adriana, Just to let you know that my family and I very much enjoyed your apartment during our recent one week stay. We landed in Rome on a rainy day. But we were met by the Taxi service that you arranged for us as expected. The driver was very courteous provided convenient service. I would recommend this service highly. The orientation drive around the apartment that you provided shortly after our arrival was immensely helpful in getting us oriented. After that drive, we were pretty clear on where to go for supermarkets etc. We found location of the apartment to be very convenient. We particularly enjoyed walking to the market each morning and buying the day's supply of fruits, bread and cold cuts. The sea food restaurant that you recommend turned out to be one of our favorite eateries in Rome. We went there twice for dinner. I enjoyed talking to the restaurant owner about food and wines of Sardinia. Your reservation for Vatican Museum worked out fine and we were able to get into the museum without any waiting. After walking all day in Rome, we were happy to come back to your apartment each day. All facilities of the appartment worked well and we had plenty of space (for four people) to relax. We felt very safe and comfortable at your appartment during our stay. Thanks for all your help and hospitality durng our stay in Rome. I would be happy to recommend you and your apartment to anyone who might be considering renting the apartment. With fond memories. Myung B. Lee New York, NY

  • The Apt was beautiful and Adrianna was very helpful. Our plane was late, so when we got to the Apt at 10:30 at night. She and her husband Paul were there and fixed us a simple dinner. The restaurants she recommended all had great food. It was fun being in a Rome neighborhood where real people live rather than staying in the tourist traps. We would recommend this Apt to all of our freinds.

  • This is a fantastic apartment! It is very spacious, comfortable, and beautiful. The location is equally good. Access to the bus is literally just a few steps around the corner. Adriana was very helpful in arranging airport pickups as well as setting up transportation for our family's visit to Castel di Sangro to see relatives. The restaurants in the area are good, and the other places to eat and snack are good, too. Sitting on the balcony in the late afternoon with a bottle of wine became one of our favorite daily activities. There is no better way to unwind after a full day of siteseeing.

  • It's difficult to add comments that haven't already been said about such a nice apartment in a terrific area and with the added bonus of such hospitable hosts as Adriana, Paolo and Massimo! Our stay at Casa Adriana was excellent. The accommodations were everything we expected and more. Adriana goes out of her way to be gracious and helpful with booking, directions recommendations, and ensuring that your stay in pleasant. We shopped in the markets and had a delicious meal at Caselli's, upon Adriana's recommendation. The neighborhood is convenient to the sights, within walking distance to the Vatican, and we felt very safe even with the disadvantage of not speaking Italian. We highly recommend Casa Adriana and hope to return soon!

  • We spent a lovely week at this very comfortable apartment. Adriana and Paulo's are the perfect hosts and go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable. They showed us where we could find the supermarket (two in walking distance), told us about the street markets (also two in walking distance) where to catch the bus, the best local restaurants ... basically everything we needed for a perfect stay. The apartment gives a great Roman experience with all the comforts of home. We liked to have a cafe and a conetto at the little place on the corner in the morning, and sometimes we would go back in the evening for a lovely glass of wine. We also liked the Sardinian restaurant so much that we went back twice - almost unheard of for us. The big market at the bottom of the hill has a fabulous selection of fruits and vegetables. We were there in the summer and the Centro Storico in Rome was packed and hot. It was so nice to escape the crowds at the end of the day and head back to our quiet little neighborhood. I highly recommend this place. One word of caution - if you are there in the summer, don't run the air conditioning too much because it is very expensive. Thank you to Adriana and Paulo for being such wonderful hosts. We hope to return again some day!!

  • We stayed in the apartment and thoroughly enjoyed it! It was close to everything we needed and had plenty of room for 5 adults. Advise to anyone wanting to do the Vatican tour is to reserve on-line before you go. You avoid all lines & enter in the rear for group tours. Adrianna recommended Nuraghe Sardo and was the perfect restaurant to end our stay and is two blocks from the apartment.
