Location: Navona, Rome, Latium (Lazio), Italy, Europe

Accommodations:  Condominium, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-5)

Charming 70 square meter 2 bedroom apartment located on the first floor of a period building (no elevator) in the heart of the historical centre of Rome, around the corner from Campo de Fiori, Piazza Farnese and Piazza Navona.

Elegantly furnished and quiet and peaceful flat in the centre of town, the apartment is characterized by a beautiful wooden beamed ceiling and all-over "cotto toscano" flooring. The entrance opens directly onto the main living area, presenting a living room furnished with a sofa bed (queen size) facing the TV cabinet, and a dining table with 6 chairs. The kitchen, albeit not an eat-in kitchen, is fully equipped with all necessities including a dishwasher and microwave oven.

The sleeping area offers two bedrooms, of which the master bedroom complete with queen bed and the second bedroom with a single bed. The bathroom has a bathtub. The apartment is complete with air conditioning and independent heating. No house pets or smoking allowed. On request it is possible to have an additional bed (bed linen included).

The Balestrari Flat is situated on Via dei Balestrari, and is a comfortable studio in the heart of the historical district of Regola. Rome can easily be explored from this lovely apartment, which is situated in an 17th century building. Campo de Fiori is still a favorite place of many artists, musicians and actors. It's magical atmosphere - which enriched by historic buildings and picturesque streets and squares in - will leave hardly anyone untouched.

Rione Regola is mainly a Renaissance quarter with very few signs of Ancient Rome. However the long street which crosses the whole rione from NW to SE follows an ancient Roman street and the straight street leading to Ponte Sisto does the same. It became a very densely populated area during the Middle Ages due to its proximity to the river which at the time was the only source of water. Most of the streets are still named after the artisans who had their workshops there. Regola was a sort of industrial district of Rome: Via dei Cappellari (hatters), Chiodaroli (nail-makers), Pettinari (comb-makers), Baullari (case-makers), Giubbonari (dress-makers), Vaccinari (fur-makers), Calderari (coppersmiths), indicate just some of the activities which were performed in Regola.

The rebuilding by Pope Sixtus IV in 1475 of Pons Aurelius, called after him Ponte Sisto and a few years later the opening by Pope Julius II, nephew of Sixtus IV, of a straight street linking Ponte Sisto with Ponte S. Angelo, changed in part the nature of Regola. Via Giulia, named after the pope, became the most important street of Renaissance Rome and Pope Paulus III Farnese built across the street his palace and his garden. Regola did not have large churches, the majority of them being churches belonging to a guild.

  • A friend and I stayed for a week at the Balestrari flat. The space is terrific and the details wonderful. The city managers, Ruza and Nicola, were charming, helpful, courteous, accomodating and punctual. The flat was fairly well stocked for the beginning of a self catering vacation. Lots of clean linen and towels are provided, and Nicola has provided a very helpful guide to the area provided with transportation routes and restaurant suggestions. The apartment is quite roomy, with high ceilings and a folding wall to mask the kitchen area. The best feature is the proximity to the Campo and surrounding shops. Try Baccanale for fantastic take away panini, and Roscioli Bakery is a must visit. There are also a butcher and fishmonger in the immediate area. As I am an accomplished chef, we had little need to eat out due to the variety and quality of food at the market,which was my main reason for choosing this location. The cons: the small twin bedroom is only a cot, and a terrible sleeping surface. The convertible bed in the living area is a bit better, if only accomodating one adult sleeping in the center of the mattress. The shower drain also needed snaking, overflowing with each use. The Campo evening party noise is deafening with the windows open-- for a longer stay I would choose another location.

  • We stayed here in this delightful apartment for 8 days, and my family of 5, 3 kids aged 11, 9 & 7 were very happy. Perfect location right off Campo De Fiore and with-in walking distance of Piazza Nirvona,Trevi Fountain, Spainsh Steps and other attractions. The apartment was toasty in Feb and is perfect for a family on a budget. During the season, the restaurants located a few steps away might get a little noisey on weekends.
