Via Veneto Apartment in Rome

We really enjoyed our stay in the lovely little apartment. We stayed with our two boys, ages 6 and 8. They LOVED the tiny elevator and enjoyed riding with the luggage while we walked down! It was in a quiet but pricey neighborhood, but once we figured out how to use the buses we were all set. We also quickly decided to cook breakfast at home in the small bu well-appointed kitchen due to the cost of the surrounding cafes! We also walked to and from many of the sights in the City without too much trouble. Loved being close to Villa Borghese and the beautiful Borghese Gardens. Within a block of the apartment were the world's greatest coffee, Taza del Oro (went there every day!), a fabulous bakery with many, many gluten-free options, and a yummy pizza-by-the-slice place which my 6-year-old could not get enough of. We would definitely stay here again and we would recommend Italy Perfect highly. We had all of our questions answered and everything was as we expected.

The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed. We made good use of the kitchen and the laundry facilities! I would definitely stay there again, or recommend to a friend. As we were there in winter, one concern we'd had ahead of time was about keeping warm enough in an older building -- but in fact the apartment was kept quite toasty with radiant heat. I actually already have recommended Italy Perfect to a couple of friends who are thinking about trips to Rome.

This apartment is in a very good safe area,and if you are reasonably fit and enjoy walking,you can walk almost anywhere you need ,to see the sights.However there is a metro stop 8-10 mins away if you need it. The kitchen is very well equipped ,and has everything you need to cook for yourself.Everything was clean. Hairdryer, iron and board all provided. The bathroom was also well equipped ,having a washer and a dryer,however I found the shower a little awkward.It had 2 fixed shower heads,neither of which seemed "right",however we managed. The bedroom has lots of storage room and the bed was very comfortable. The room is also quiet,so you can sleep well. Nearby,there is a small supermarket,and also several restaurants where the food is good. We ate at Pomodorino a couple of times,and also at Marco's. The information sent beforehand is comprehensive,and the "greeter" was waiting for us as planned ,and was very helpful,answering our questions. I have to say,I felt the sitting room ,on first opening the door,was smaller than I had anticipated from the photo,but actually was fine.Internet access was good. If the apartment was mine,however,I would make it a 2 person only apartment,and replace the converter lounge/bed with a proper,really comfy couch !! Overall,we had a good time in this apartment. Thank you.

We enjoyed staying in this apartment for a week in September 2011. The rooms are all roomy and nicely furnished. Having a washer/drier is a great convenience. The couch was comfortable for siting and sleeping (I sometimes snore.) Mostly quiet though a few nights we heard conversation or tv noise late, but this was solved by turning on the air conditioner (nice that there are separate controls for the living room and bedroom.) The location was good, on a pleasant street with good restaurants. For us, it was walking distance to many tourist sites, (we like to walk,) though it's a good hike to the Coloseum or Vatican, and we sometimes took a cab home at the end of the day. Wifi worked well. In short, we loved it, and would be happy to stay here again when we return to Rome.

The experience of staying in this apartment was even better than the descriptions we had read online, and our discussions with Italy Perfect prior to our trip. LOCATION: The apartment is just one block off the top of the Via Veneto in a great area with access to everything: just two blocks from the Villa Borghese Park, and easy walking distance to many of the top sites including the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza del Popolo, and others. Actually, twice in our stay in Rome we even walked back to the apartment after dinner in Trastevere on the other side of the Tiber River - a walk that took about 1.5 hours, but was completely doable and enjoyable (there is nothing like walking in Rome at night!). Rome is so manageable in its size, and you really see more of the city's character if you walk everywhere. But just in case, you can access the metro after a 5+ minute downhill walk from the apartment. THE BUILDING/APARTMENT ITSELF: Just as described, although we didn't realize how upscale the building actually was before we got there. There was lots of security and we felt very safe in the building. We also loved that quaint European elevator! Inside the apartment, there were two beds in the living room (for our two, good-sized teenagers), a separate bedroom with large bed for my wife and myself, a decent sized kitchen, and fine bathroom/shower. Oh yes..we were grateful for the washer and dryer! NEAR THE APARTMENT: There were great restaurants and breakfast cafes within a few block radius in all directions from the apartment, as well as a nice wine/gourmet food store about a block away down the same street. Do not miss the Villa Borghese Park - and especially the museum there which you have to book in advance (check it out online). Even my children who are not always museum enthusiasts were mesmerized by this one! You can also rent funky multi-person bicycles and segues in the park. Otherwise, just walk all over Rome from the apartment...as I said, the whole city is accessible if you like to walk, and you have decent weather. I would definitely use Italy Perfect again for any future trips. Grazie Mille !

Via Veneto was everything that we hoped it would be! The apartment was comfortable, modernized, and easy to use. The building was very attractive and well located clearly in a very upscale neighborhood. All of the conveniences which mattered to us, such as a blow dryer, TV and coffee maker were supplied as well as many other amenities. We heard no outside noise and sleep very well every night. We would return and stay longer given an opportunity. Cheers to Via Veneto!

My entire family loved this apartment. Let's start with the greeter. She was lovely. She waited despite the delay in our flight. She explained everything in full detail. The apartment had everything we could need. It even had an American outlet. What a treat. The refrigerator was a regular size and fabulous. The bedroom was a perfect size and comfortable. The location was perfect. Quiet. You can walk to restaurants, transportation, and anything you may wish. Our favorite little out of the way restaurant was Il Boscaiolo on Via delgli. Perfect for that first night in. For a nice meal out and a needed reservation try Restorante Vecchia Roma. For the Best Gelato is San Crispino by Trevi Fountain. The beauty is the apartment makes all of this easy to get to. I would stay here again and will recommend to all my friends.

We loved this apartment. The bedroom was a nice size and the air conditioner worked great. The washer/dryer were wonderful as well. Bathroom had plenty of space. The kitchen was a good size. A bit tight at the table for 4 to eat, but it worked. The refrigerator was a nice size. The living room was nice as well. The apartment building was quiet, clean and in a perfect location. Even the kitchen had U.S. plug outlets. What a thoughtful touch for travelers. I would return to this apartment.

A well sited, clean, comfortable, well equipped apartment with accurate photos and description on the web site. The internal looking windows provide adequate daylight and make the whole place very peaceful. The supermarket is nearby and well stocked. We chose it for it's proximity to the gardens and were happy to use buses which were cheap and very frequent to get us to the sites.

My adult daughter booked a Rome Cabs transfer from the airport and our fabulous week in Rome was off to a great start. We drove past the Colosseum and more and Rene , our greeter, was waiting for us. The apartment was ideal for us..terrific location as we walked everywhere and took the Metro only twice, to the Vatican and back! There was a little supermarket around the corner and we found out quickly you need to weigh and price your fruit before you get to the checkout. There were two escellent restaurants nearby La Bruschetta and La Pomodorino and we ate at each one twice. We ate at home as well as the food shopping was so much fun and the food was wonderful.All food was great everywhere actually! The only small issue we had was that the bed in the lounge room was rock hard and not very comfortable. Everything else was just fabulous in the apartment. There were books to read and a few staples in the pantry and umbrellas and washing powder and ice cubes and lots of things that made it a very welcoming place to stay. All the paperwork was excellent and very helpful and we started every day by walking down the Via Veneto to the Trevi fountain.. we just had to go there every day on our way to see lots of wonderful sights. I would recommend Rome Cabs and 7 Hills tours of the Vatican and our very best tour was a Dark Rome tour of the Colosseum and Palatine and Forum. Do not try to see this incredible area alone. We booked Galleria Borghese at 5pm and had a lovely afternoon in the gardens before our visit. We also bought audio tours in all galleries.. well worth it! Thanks Italy Perfect and Rene. [Thank you, we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the twin sofa beds in the living room, we have personally inspected and slept on these many times . They are firm, I personally do not find them to be uncomfortable and in reviewing prior guest comments they have have not been an issue with other guests. I've certainly encountered much firmer in my many property inspections throughout Italy. A benefit to this style of sofa bed is that the mattress does not fold in the middle, so is thicker.

Great time in Rome The Via Veneto apartment worked out just great for us. Loved the location being so close to park which was great for running in the morning. The greeter, Rene, was a fabulous help showing us the apartment and directing us to the market and close restaurants in the neigborhood.My family of four was very comfortable in the apartment and really found the wireless and washer/dryer very handy. With the high cost of hotels in Rome (for very small rooms), there was no comparison.

We enjoyed our visit to Rome and were very pleased with the apartment. It was such a comfortable, homey respite after long days of touring. The location was wonderful and convenient to the Metro and shopping. The apartment building and neighbourhood were very quiet. Having the luxury of making coffee in the morning along with breakfast gave each day a fresh, relaxing start. The apartment was well-stocked and meeting Rene was such a plus. He was most gratious and was quite informative about the particulars in the apartment as well as the surrounding area. If you enjoy making meals in, we discovered Carrfour for groceries near the Metro. It was a great one-stop-shop for produce, wine, fresh meats and fish. We cannot say enough about Italy Perfect's service, and in particular, Pat; we will certainly call again when we travel to London and Paris next year. Pat provided so much information prior to our travels which saved a lot of time and answered specific questions. Thanks to Pat and Italy Perfect.

This is a lovely, meticulously clean, extremely well cared for apartment that is very comfortable for a short or long stay. My wife and I felt immediately at home. It was perfect. We lived in Rome many years ago and although this is not our favorite neighborhood (a bit over-the-top touristy), it does offer convenience to commonly desired sites to visit in the downtown area and to Metro service. A small pearl of advice. There are several snack bars in the area and most cater to Americans and tourists. If you exit the apartment and make your first right, just around the corner, next to a dry cleaner, is a small bar that caters more to local clientele and has delicious coffee, morning cornettos and a terrific tavola calda (hot table) lunch at wonderful prices.

The apartment was spotless, quiet, and convenient. May 2010 We are home safe and sound after our wonderful week at Via Veneto. We appreciated your suggestion of hiring Stefano to drive us from the cruise ship to our lodging. He was waiting for us at the ungodly hour of seven a.m. At the end of our week, he picked us up at five thirty a.m. (groan) to get us to our flight on time. Rene greeted us and walked us through all the details you had prepared us for in your excellent handout. He was very kind, offering for us to call him if we had any need of help. He checked in with us before we left to be sure that all was going well. We appreciated his advice and assistance. The apartment was spotless, quiet, and convenient.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Via Veneto! Everything was truly perfect! From the moment we arrived at the airport until we departed and everything in between was superb - we could not have asked for a more fabulous vacation. The apartment was incredibly convenient, well-equipped, and oh so comfortable. The car service (Stefano), our initial meeting with Rosie, Despar's and the neighborhood restaurants were all wonderful. We loved the Context Travel tours (Ostia Antica, Vatican, and Roma Antica - Palatine Hill, Forum, and Coliseum), walked for miles and miles each day taking in the sites and sights, and enjoyed the Villa Borghese Gardens for some quiet time. Thank you so much!

"An Excellent Accommodation Choice for family of 4" We were very pleased with our decision to rent this apartment in Rome. We liked our location. It was in a nice neighborhood. It was quiet and private but easily accessible to the sites, restaurants, and transportation. The information sent by Italy Perfect prior to our visit was amazing, and so helpful. We had a contact to pre-arrange a car service from the airport, and a greeter to meet us upon our arrival and to orient us to the building and apartment. The apartment was comfortable for our needs and so much better than a hotel room. Great for the independent traveler with a map and a guide book. If you need room service, a concierge, & a front desk...forget it!! The apartment needs a new hair dryer!! Look for friendly waiter, Bonifacio, at sidewalk cafe just west of apartment. He knows everything there is to know about American Football, and "America's greatest athlete, Jack Nicklaus"!!! Response - Nov 3, 2009 Thanks so much Barb. So glad you enjoyed yourselves so much. We will definitely replace the hairdryer. - Pat

Working with Italy Perfect has been a delight. The reservation process was easy to follow and the travel details were very helpful. The apartment named Via Veneto on Via Sardegna overall was adequate. The good points are location, access to groceries, restaurants, and the metro. We also appreciated that it was a quiet neighborhood. The layout which allowed privacy between the living room (which we also used as a bedroom) and the rest of the apartment worked very well for us. The security of the apartment with the quadruple locks was a comfort especially when we noticed that anyone can enter the building with the automatic door closing system. We especially liked the offerings and friendly service at Bar Leon--their cornettos are delicious. Another wonderful family-run restaurant loaded with locals was Pomodoro--look for a big tomato on the sign at a side street off Sardegna. For an excellent and expensive treat, eat outdoors at Harry's Bar on Via Veneto.

We had a wonderful time visiting Rome. The apartment Via Vento was very comfortable and classy. Loved having the washer and dryer, made for packing much lighter, beds very comfortable, couldn't ask for a better location. The only thing we can really say was a negative, the EARTH QUAKE that hit on April 6th at 3:30 am on our 2nd night there. It was a very scary experience to be awaken in the middle of the night from something as awful as that was. I also want to add, working with Pat from Italy Perfect was a joy and a pleasure. She set us up with more information then we could have ever expected, answered all questions plus passed on companies for car pick up at the airport, she made our experience one to come back for more. Our next time in Rome we would very much love to stay at the Via Vento Apartment. Thanks Pat for all your help, hope to be renting again very soon..

EXCELLENT STAY Apr 2009 We had enjoyed thoroughly staying a week at the Via Veneto apt. The location is in a nice area, 15 minutes to the city center & the walk back uphill was a nice exercise. The place is quiet enough considering most city apts can be noisy.The size & provisions in the apartment is excellent, but the door locks needs to be smoothen up. [The earthquake caused some doors to stick.] The tour books & Italy Perfect's guidance have been very handy. Pat/Lisa is always there to answer our queries. We won't hesitate to recommend this apartment.

The neighborhood couldn't possibly offer more choices Feb 2009 The Via Veneto apartment is very well laid out, plenty of closets, quiet and extremely efficient. Internet access was a big plus and allowed me to travel with my laptop and stay in touch with family and business associates as well as plan my activities in Italy. Having a washer and dryer allowed me to pack lighter. I've had washers in other foreign apartments, but never a dryer. The kitchen had all appliances necessary for an extended stay. Having an elevator stop at the door was convenient for luggage and groceries. The neighborhood couldn't possibly offer more choices. I found the Despar Supermarket, 2 blocks away on Via Toscana, to have everything I needed. The Peluso wine shop is even closer with a wide selection of wines at very reasonable prices. I lost count of the number of restaurants in the vicinity, but there are plenty. The family who operate Cafeteria / Pasticceria Lotti, a 1/2 block away on Via Sardegna, were terrific. Caffe Lotti quickly became my choice for morning cappuccino and a croissant. They bake their own pastries, which were hard to pass up, and in the evening Lotti will prepare hot take away meals to enjoy back at the apartment. Lucio and Lucca are the morning baristas and Lorenzo usually handles evenings. Cousins Regina (morning) and Paola (nights) are at the register and behind the pastry counter. Lotti also serves American breakfasts of eggs, bacon, toast etc. Caffe Lotti was definitely my choice over Leon Bar. The proximity of bus and Metro access was another plus as well as the opportunity to get away from the city and walk the peaceful grounds of Villa Borghese only minutes away. A representative of the owner was at the apartment to greet me upon arrival and explained everything. The owner offered another comfort level as he phoned a few times to be sure everything was in order and offered information and assistance. Italy Perfect / Excellent Europe supplied the most complete package of information I have ever received prior to departure. Your companies should be the model for foreign rentals agencies. All in all, my three weeks at the Via Veneto apartment in Rome were both Excellent and Perfect. Thank you.

Accommodations overall were very nice. We enjoyed the location the most. It was located within walking distance of many places we wanted to go, including eating spots of all kinds.The problems or drawbacks were, for the most part, minor, except a gas shutdown by the city that shut off our hot water and heat. However, Italy Perfect's manager did all he could to reinstate heating by an alternate source, successfully, on the day after.So, Italy Perfect's service was, as usual, excellent.One tourist trap with poor service and mediocre food to avoid, is Ristorante Galeassi, which is recommended in some publications. They served us slowly and reluctantly, with some ridicule at our poor Italian language skills and gave us a dish we did not order instead of what we ordered. Because of our schedule, it was too late to send the dish back since it took so long to get served. So we left after paying the bill, with the intent to let others know of the problem.

The apartments were great as were their hosts Jun 2008 We just want to thank you for facilitating our accomodation rentals in Rome [Veneto] and Florence [Strozzi]. Thank you also for the reccomendation for Venice. The apartments were great as were their hosts. We found that the best way to see Rome, Florence and Venice; like many others before us, is to simply get lost walking (but carry a good map, just in case). We figured if you just walk in the general direction of where you want to go, you'll eventually end up at your destination. Plus, you find so many interesting things along the way!

The furnishings were very comfortable and we loved the location which was ideal for exploring all of Rome since we could walk to many of the sites or hop on the nearby subway to get to the Vatican and Coliseum. The greeter spoke perfect English. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! We had a car for the first couple of days for some out of town sightseeing and we were able to park it in the big parking garage under the Borghese Gardens just two blocks away. Very convenient!

Your restaurant list is fabulous, we were delighted with them all and ate only off that list. Your driver is a great find. The apartment is wonderful. It is very well located, easy to get to. It was hot and we ran the air conditioning in both rooms all night every night and ended up owing only E3.5; we would have paid ten times that much for the comfort. At an ATM machine near the Pantheon our card data was stolen and our account shut down. Citibank, thankfully, was very helpful, but tell your guests to be careful.

Well, we are back from a wonderful trip. The Rome apartment [Via Veneto] was very nice as advertised, and we had a chance to meet and chat with the manager. Interesting and pleasant man. We did spend over half and hour cooling our heels in front of the place with our suitcases because the driver didn't speak English well enough to make the call for us to be greeted, even though I made three attempts to convey that information. Rome is marvelous, as you know. The weather was fine, and the only glitch was that I got a bad blister from too much walking which slowed me down some. We definitely want to go back. Greece was also terrific. All in all, a great vacation.

Accommodation exactly as described with helpful greeting etc. We really enjoyed the sandwiches/panini with things you would never eat in a sandwich at home and that could be bought any way and eaten on the run. In my view Italy survives as a nation due only to the the people who were without exception helpful and friendly living the the chaos that is the country. The location is good. Not long to the city, and next to a nice park, with cafes around - it was good. There is a coffee shop, ~30m to the left when you come out of the building. They were more than helpful - and the coffee was excellent. Do not rely on the tourist bus tours. Especially the Archaeological tour. The timetable is advisory at best, and they do not always stop. The standard busses and metro service were more reliable! Actually, you have been very good - but a situation map showing the actual building location in the street would have been useful on the first day.

The owner of the apartment was absolutely fantastic, so helpful and kind it was a pleasure doing business with him. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the apartment to anyone nor use it again ourselves should the need arise.Many thanks also for your thorough follow through of the booking, very reassuring to arrive somewhere and it all be as planned – no nasty surprises!!Accommodations: Fabulous, well set out apartment. ... it was wonderful to come ‘home’ after a long day of sightseeing and have room to move. Problems: Only that it can be hard to be super quiet for the neighbours when traveling with children especially when one local resident takes her Great Dane dog in the lift after exercising him. Location: Lovely, nice to be that little bit removed from the tourist area. Not so sure that the Borghese Gardens lived up to expectations but it may have been the lack of signage more than the place Recommendations: Supermarket within walking distance (it’s on the pedestrian subway to Spanish Steps) Don’t go in the middle of summer!! (much too hot) however if you must the apartment has a fantastic air conditioner. Make sure you buy tickets online to avoid the queues.

The apartment was wonderful. A real oasis in Rome! Helpful hint: ...driving in Rome is not for the faint at heart - or those afraid of being lost forever.

The apartment was very nice and quiet. I loved being able to run in Villa Borghese. Having the metro stop so close was great.
