    • We just returned from a week in Rome. The apartment at Palazzo Del Grillo was all that was promised, and more than expected. My husband and I were there with our adult daughter and her teenaged daughter. There was plenty of space for all of us, without getting on each other's nerves by being too close together all the time. Location, location, location! In the week we were there we saw most of Rome's major sights, and did not use public transportation once. Everything was within easy walking distance. The apartment was stunningingly beautiful, and very clean. Enzo and his representative were very helpful. The entire experience was wonderful. If you go, try the little restaurant right there in the square, Mario's. It's friendly, and feels very much like a place the locals would go to.

    • We stayed there with another couple in late September. It’s a nice large two bedroom apartment set up well for two couples or a large family. The bedrooms and baths are located on opposite ends of the apartment. Nice kitchen with a full size fridge. Big common areas with lots of room to spread out. Also appreciated was the lift (for those heavy bags!). No street noise. It’s located conveniently for most sites and within 5 mins of the Metro. Booking process was simple with Enzo who was good to communicate with and his agent, Teresa, was very nice and available when needed. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend this apartment. Feel free to e-mail me with questions. Roger

    • The apartment was perfect for our needs. Its location is fantastic. We were able to walk to the forum and the colosseum in 5 minutes and about 15 minutes to the Pantheon. The apartment was clean and very well maintained. Teresa was great, and the whole process of making the reservation very easy. If we return to Rome, this will be the first place we check on for availabilty. We couldn't have asked for a better location or nicer apartment to stay in.

    • I loved the apartment. I am a small business owner and the high speed internet helped me keep up with e-mails and other business related items. Apartment was centrally located and you can walk to the Coliseum, Forum restaurants, and taxi stand. In fact, the one across the alley was very good. Would definitely use it again when I go back, and pricing is low compared to local hotels. Dealing with property owner's local representative was easy. Thanks Enzo.

    • The apartment at Piazza Del Grillo was wonderful. Communication with Enzo during the reservation process was efficient and timely. Teresa, the Rome representative, was courteous, attentive and extremely helpful upon our arrival. The apartment is airy, spacious, well-maintained and in the most perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and look forward to staying there again. Many thanks, Aviva and Harry Atlanta

    • Ce bel appartement présente des avantages appréciables. La disposition des pièces permet d’y vivre à plusieurs en préservant l’intimité de chacun. Le quartier est à la fois spectaculaire – le Forum est à un jet de pierre – et très vivant:”Monti” avec ses rues anciennes et ses nombreux petits restaurants fréquentés surtout par les romains. Au plan pratique, la visite des sites et musées est facilitée par la proximité de la ligne d’autobus 64, qui en dessert un grand nombre et va jusqu’au Vatican. - Une excellente “base” de séjour.

    • We stayed 4 nights, the apartment is very clean and spacious. The kids could have their own room (which made everyone happier) and the location was great for sightseeing, we probably walked past the Colosseum a dozen times. The Rome metro, such as it is, is easily reached in a short walk either at Colosseo or Cavour and the kids have already spotted the Palazzo del Grillo in the background of a History Channel show on Rome.

    • Enzo and Teresa were wonderful and communication during the reservation process was great. The apartment is, like others have said so well, great. Plenty of room to hang out and all modern conveniences available. The location is fantastic. We walked to nearly all major tourist attractions and the local restaurants were delicious. La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali was absolutely divine. The wine and the food were fantastic. We travelled with our young son and the chef/owner and waiters doted on him. Another place we loved was Enoteca Corsi near Piazza Navona (Via Del Gesu 88). Open for lunch only the place is busy with local people. On our first visit we had steamed meatballs and mushed potatoes, minestroni soup and burgundy wine. Fantastic. All in all we had a great trip to Rome and we would definitely stay at Enzo's place again. Grazie mille, Enzo and Teresa!!!
