Amazing studio in Rome!

Our stay was wonderful! Paola gave us detailed instructions on our options to get to the apartment from the FCO Airport. We opted for a Taxi. Check in was so easy as Paola’s friend met us at the apartment and gave us a full walk through in person. The apartment was exactly as described and so centrally located, we were able to walk to the Colliseum/Roman forum area within 20 minutes and to the Trastevere neighborhood within 10! There is so much amazing food within walking distance of the apartment as well. It has everything you could need and our stay was very comfortable. Paola also leaves tons of recommendations for food, transportation, nightlife, and more. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

Great apartment

We really enjoyed our stay in Testaccio. The apartment was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, and Paola provided much information about the neighbourhood and the city. Many restaurants, groceries and shops are close by, Mercato Testaccio is great, and you can enjoy a gelato in the Piazza.

mother/daughter city trip to Rome

We will fondly remember our stay in Paola's beautiful and lovingly furnished flat, she made our mother/daughter city trip to Rome perfect. Above all, a big thank you to Paola for the good tips for life in the Testaccio neighbourhood with restaurant recommendations and the insider tip for a special photo spot.

Charming Studio in walking distance to the Coliseum

A very enjoyable stay at this property. Paola the host met us and gave a thorough tour of the property. The unit has a washer which was a great benefit along with a complete kitchen, safe, remote heat/ac. The neighborhood has a generous selection of restaurants and the Coliseum is a short walk. A very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Loved Roma! Great Accommodations

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the Testaccio area. This particular neighborhood was very lively and felt completely safe. We were able to walk to most sites and took the local buses for others. The bus stops are very close to the apartment. We enjoyed several local authentic (and delicious!!!) restaurants close by. The apartment was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. Thank you, Paola, for such an amazing experience!

Excellent Place to Stay in Rome

This flat is as pictured. This is a private and safe place to stay while you explore Rome. Highly recommend! Walk a short distance to Circus Maximus or the Colosseum and grab the Hop on Hop off for an amazing tour of the city. Other Notes: Take the 50€ capped price taxi ride from the airport to avoid trying to navigate the ticket lines and tourists when you’re exhausted from international travel. The water and fixtures in this property gets scalding hot, so be careful! **You can’t go wrong with this place**

Great stay and lovely host!

We had a wonderful time in Rome and Paola's appartment was the perfect place to stay! It's super clean, comfortable, quiet (you don't imagine being in Rome) and very well equipped. Paolo's tipps were very helpful, the information map she put together is priceless! Only on the recommendation for the Sette Oche in Travestere we can't agree - rather poor quality and no atmosphere. But for all the other things thank you Paola and we'd love to come back next year!

Absolutely Incredible!

Paola, is an absolute delight. I have never had such a marvelous experience, her incredible attention to detail is just simply unmatched. She was so incredible and patient in explaining the area around where we stayed, as well as where to go in Roma that it made it so much easier to really eat, commute and live like a local. If ever in Roma again, she will be our go to! Thank you SO much, Paola.

Casa Della Robbia Testaccio Rome

Beautifully appointed apartment in the heart of Testaccio. The owner was amazing and no issue or question was to great. The information folders and tips available at the apartment were excellent resources. We stayed in the apartment for 1 month. It was lovely and quite and good for sleeping at night. All appliances were available that are required for a comfortable stay. It was obvious that the owner had taken care in appointing the apartment. Testaccious is a local Roman community and has 2 Piazzas to enjoy Grocery stores, 2 butchers, hairdressers, pharmacy, gelateriad, restaurants, bars (cafe)… All you need can be found in Testaccio and close to the apartment. Pyramide Metro and Porta San Paolo stations nearby. For easy access to Roman sites and also to the beautiful beaches if you get time (takes about and hour). Overall 5 star for property owner, apartmento and location

Great starting point for italy

My 19 year old son and I wanted something downtown for a quick intro and starting point to adjust to the time change (we came from the US) in Rome before heading out to explore the rest of Italy. It was 100 degrees in Rome and the air conditioning worked beautifully. Paola was out of town so she had her friend, Donatella, check us in. Communication with Paola ahead of time was excellent and Donatella was an absolute delight. She didn’t speak English but managed to show us everything we needed about the apartment. Location was very convenient. We walked to some of our destinations and Ubers were available every time we requested one within 2 minutes. We visited the trattoria a few doors down from the apartment where we had gnocchi made to order any way we wanted it with excellent service from Max. At night the apartment was so quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfy and my son said the same about the pullout sofa. There is an elevator but other than ck in with our luggage, we just took the stairs. We only stayed for two nights before we headed for the coast to escape the heat, but it was lovely. Zero complaints. Very clean and well appointed. Wifi also worked well. Next time we come to Italy we would def stay again. Thank you, Paula and Donatella!!

Beautiful Apartment in a Great Neighborhood!

Paola was a pleasure to coordinate with, and has a beautiful apartment in a fantastic location. Before we arrived she'd already sent us detailed information regarding transit options for getting to Via Luca della Robbia and around the city (including how much taxi fares should cost - very handy), and recommendations for restaurants, shops, and other services nearby. When we met her at the apartment she spent time showing us the place and even walked around the neighborhood a bit pointing things out. She was very kind and even called to check-in with us before we left in case we needed anything. The apartment is larger in person than the photos, very clean, and has everything you'll need for your stay. The shower is a good size (by European standards) - my husband is 6'4" and had no issues with the shower height. :-) We loved the Testaccio neighborhood and appreciated that it was within walking distance (or easy bus/metro ride) to all of the major sites, yet still not overrun with tourists. It was peaceful and a treat to stay in a neighborhood full of locals. There are so many great restaurants and food shops, and don't miss the Testaccio Market! We will always stay here if we are in Rome. Thanks Paola for helping to make our first time in Rome such a great experience!

Location, location, location!

My husband and I just spent 2 days and nights in Rome. Paola, our host was so detailed on her directions to get us from our car rental drop off to her home. She gave us two options, metro or bus. It turned out the last week she had holiday plans come up but she didn’t miss a beat and had a lovely friend meet us and went through all the information on our stay. Paola kept in contact with us on What’s App through messages and made sure we were happy and if we needed anything. Her home is completely stocked with everything one might need. The location is great to walk, take bus or metro to anywhere you might need to go. Only time we took metro was to the airport upon our departure. We walked everywhere and of course ate our way through Roma. Paola’s neighborhood is charming with pasty and coffee shop right around corner. The must gelato shop right around the corneralso. The square every evening down the street was full of childeren and families getting together and playing. Good restaurant’s close by also. Would recommend staying here and will return if we are blessed to return to Roma! Thank you Paulo for our lovely bottle of wine to celebrate our 40th anniversary! So special!!!! Marci and John

A B S O L U T E L Y perfect!

There are two main reasons to book this apartment - esp if you are rookie American travelers as we were! 1. The location is 👌🏼 It is in the Testaccio area of Rome which has a very local vibe but is close to everything. Technically you can walk to the main sites BUT you will be our your feet all day, you really should use public transportation- it is easy and the stops are very close to the apartment. Paola suggested we download the “Moovit” app and that made busses and metro a snap! (It works in Florence, Venice, etc too.) The area is know for its authentic Roman food and there were lots of quaint and delicious restaurants close by. Paola recommends several and we found her to be accurate. In addition, it quiets down very well at night. We had the windows cracked open all night and didn’t have any problem with noise. 2. As I have already alluded to, Paola is extremely helpful. Everything you could need is in the apartment: adaptors, guide books, restaurant recommendations, plus all the amenities mentioned in the listing. It is small (for Americans - the bathroom especially) but that is part of the charm. It is immaculately clean and comfortable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thanks Paola!
