Enzo's Roman Apartmentj
Guest: Michael

Date of Stay: 12/17/11
Review Submitted: 12/21/11
This is my second rental of one of Enzo's apartments. I have also rented his place in Istanbul. He does a masterful job of coordinating visits. Both places are superbly located. This apartment is on a relatively quiet area but close to everything. It was very well equipped and felt almost like a private home even though it is a full time rental. Furniture and beds are not 5 star - lots of stuff that seems like IKEA maybe but very adequate. One thing I really like is that he returned my deposit via Paypal the same day we left. Very professional and reliable.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car.

Excellent location walking distance to most sights except vatican city, close to subway and bus stops and one stop from train station. Very large for our family of 4 with very comfortable beds. The owner was very helpful and available all the time. One suggestion may be to replace the towels as they are all threadbare, kitchen and bathroom towels.
Owner response:Thanks for the suggestion: bathroom and kitchen towels have been replaced few days ago with new ones.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

My husband and I spent six nights at the Palazzo Grillo Apartment on Oct. 27 - Nov. 1. We both have some walking problems so the location of this apartment allowed us to walk to most of the tourist spots in Rome - the Colliseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Victor Emmanuel Memorial, the Forum, Palatine Hill, etc. The information and pictures given in the description were accurate. The property was clean and well-maintained. Enzo was helpful in sending us information about taking a taxi from the airport, and he also called a taxi to take us to the port of Civitavecchia for us on the day of our departure. We had a great time in Rome, and the Palazzo Grillo added to that! We enjoyed living in an Italian neighborhood where we could shop in the markets and eat in the neighborhood restaurants.

We had the best time in Enzo's apartment! I was traveling with my mom and friend in the fall. The apartment is set on an idyllic street steps from the old Roman Forum and Coliseum. In fact, you can see some of the ruins from the windows of the apartment! The rest of the surrounding neighborhood is friendly maze of cute cobble stone streets and wonderful restaurants and shops. The apartment is very spacious, fully appointed and well decorated. The building itself it also very nice with an elevator, several secure doors and lovely art hanging in the halls. Enzo was friendly, accommodating and gave great recommendations of places to eat and see. I really can't recommend this place more! In my opinion, this place is perfect for couples, friends or a family on vacation. Why get a hotel when you can stay in a real Roman apartment!!!

Ten days in Rome
Guest: Fonz
(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
Date of Stay: 09/20/11
Review Submitted: 10/17/11
Beautiful apartment; very spacious; incredible views (Roman ruins all around); comfortable furniture (though the pillows were a bit hard for our taste); lots of place for clothes; lots of place for toiletries in bathroom. Drawbacks: kitchen a bit lacking in basics -- no kettle, no toaster, no microwave, only one dishtowel There was however plenty of dishes and glasses. Lack of linens -- no change of sheets; only one large and one small each for 10 days. Still, we enjoyed ourselves.
Owner response:Thanks for the suggestion: few days ago I added a kettle in the kitchen equipment! A quick note for all future guests: The apartment has a washing machine and dryer: whatever the duration of the rent, everyone can easily wash sheets and towels by himself . However additional linens, as well as full cleaning service during the stay, can be provided on request at an extra cost. Feel free to ask at the time of reservation. With regard to the kitchen, I never mentioned it is equipped with microwave and toaster. If in the future I decided to add these items, I will mention in the description of the apartment. So always read the description and give a look at the pictures! However keep in mind there are 4 ring stoves and an oven with grill in the kitchen ... and plenty of delicious restaurants (to suit all budgets) nearby!

We stayed at Palazzo Grillo for nearly a week in mid July of August, 2011. Our family of 4 (with 2 teenage daughters) couldn't have been happier or more comfortable. We had plenty of space, privacy and immediately felt right at home from Teresa's warm greeting until the day we left. The location couldn't have been better within steps of the incredible Coliseum. In spite of being in the center of it all, it was incredibly quiet. Thank you for a great Roman Holiday.

We stayed in the Palazzo Grillo with our two children (aged 6 and 8) in January. It was lovely and warm, and very conveniently located. Teresa (the owner's representative) was very helpful - she organized our taxi to the airport! The apartment is perfectly located next to Roman ruins, and we walked virtually everywhere.

This is our first family visit to Rome (and Europe in general). The owner has been very responsive throughout the booking process. The apartment is very well maintained and our kids love the antique elevator in the building. It is very well equipped but could use a microwave, and everything is working as expected. Couldn't ask for better location - very close to Colosseo, Roman Forums, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain etc. We walk everywhere and only rode taxi to the Vatican city. There are also plenty of sourvenir stores, cafe, bakery shops, and restaurants nearby. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who would want to experience Rome.

Great apartment in a perfect location

We just came back from Rome and I should say that Palazzo Del Grillo was one of our best experiences during the whole trip. We traveled with our two kids (21 and 13). This place gave us plenty of space. Kids had their own bedroom and bath. So did we. Washer and dryer was a huge plus (if you figure out how to use it), considering hot weather and lots of walking, we had to change a couple of time a day. Location is amazing. We walked to metro, and most of the attractions. Mrs. Teresa was very prompt and helpful. Definitely would recommend this apartment to anyone who doesn't want to stay in hotels.

My husband and another couple chose Palazzo Grillo for our 10-day stay in May. It was our first time renting an apartment in Rome, and it was perfect! You really can't find a better location. The Colosseum and the Forum are right outside your door. There are markets and plenty of restaurants nearby, and the Metro is less than a 5 minute walk. Aside from lacking a few dishes, it had everything else we needed. We'll definitely come back to this apartment on our next trip to the Eternal City!
