Your R (h) ome on Vatican's Edge! Minimal design and quiet next to the Vatican
About this apartment rental
Unique, for lovers of art, the house is opposite the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, a few steps from Castel Sant'Angelo, in the oldest part of central Rome. A study of Roman architects oversaw the redesign in 2016, playing in its own way the "genius loci" Capitoline. The house is designed for 4/6 people. E 'consists of two large double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and large living room with 2 sofa beds. A wide, panoramic terrace allows you to lunch or dinner overlooking the city. The house is on the second floor, with elevator, has an area of 90 square meters plus 25 square meters of terrace. The spacious lounge has two comfortable sofas and an ancient "refectory" of 2.9 meters on which to dine, the characteristic solid walnut table where the brothers used their meals in silence. The house is equipped with air conditioning, tv, dvd player, hi-fi, wi-fi and a fully equipped kitchen, from the washing machine to dishwasher. Vatican's edge ... we are at the gates of St. Peter! From Piazza Navona to the Pantheon, Campo de 'Fiori at the Colosseum, the Roman Forum Castel Sant'Angelo is all accessible by walking. The area provides important shopping streets, excellent restaurants and trendy bars. The house is within walking distance to metro and bus stops that will easily connect with all the major tourist destinations of Rome. Besides supermarket and shops, the neighborhood offers a nice local market with fresh products of all kinds. The municipality of Rome asks for the payment of a tourist tax of 3.5 euros per person per day, for guests over 10 years, to be paid directly to the owner at check in, in addition to the sum of 50 euros for cleaning.

This was an amazing place to stay. It was spotless, well equipped and in an excellent location for visiting Rome and all it has to offer. Spacious living room, bedrooms and a very nice view from the Terrace. Quiet and secure. Well equipped Kitchen.
We arrive about 12 hours early due to a flight change and very fast responses from our hosts saved the day and we an entire extra day to explore Rome as they met us the property about 9am!!
There was easy access to several methods of public transit. Based on an earlier review that was a bit critical that this wasn't provided, one thing I will point out is Google Maps!! The transit option was most helpful.
For reference, there are two Bus routes to easily get out and return on - the 45 bus picks up and drops off just around the corner. This was our primary bus route and is joined with others to get anywhere downtown. It event met with one other bus that dropped us off right at the e-bike rental place at the Via Appia. Coming back at the end of the day this was a short walk back.
The 49 bus goes around "the other side" of the Vatican and drops off right at the gate to the property and picks up virtually on the other side of the road! We didn't use as often as the 45 was easier to make other connections.
Ride one stop on the 45 towards downtown and there was a great Pastry / Cafe for breakfast.
The Cipro Metro stop was a short ten minute walk.
We can HIGHLY recommend this location!

The home was very nice. It was in a nice apartment complex. Very safe and secure. Adriano was very communicative from the start. Cristina made us a delicious chocolate cake and gifted us a bottle of wine. The stairs to get up to the home is long so make sure you carry light I like us. The views and security made up for it. Adriano even arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 2:30 am which we greatly appreciated! Thank you Adriano and Cristina. We loved your home and our experience in Rome!

We enjoyed being able to open all the windows and doors. I didn’t realize we were on the backside of the Vatican but it was still and easy walk there. The master shower is very small but we were able to make it work. Overall we had a good stay.

Our family of four (mom, dad and two young adult daughters) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this flat. The large terrace was a pleasure for dining al fresco and for relaxing after busy days sightseeing. The location is in a quiet area, but still very close to the Vatican. We had plenty of space for the four of us and everything we needed to prepare meals.
The metro is about a 15 minute walk away. Grocery and restaurants are a quick walk away as well. The metro is necessary to reach some of the attractions such as The Colliseum, but it's an easy trip.
We had great communication from the host who met us at the apartment and showed us all we needed to know for our stay. We also appreciated the lovely welcome gift of a cake, pears and wine. We appreciated being away from the very busy touristy areas and enjoyed the secure, peaceful and lovely building and surrounding areas.

Located across the street from the Vatican Wall at the top of the hill, this apartment has a tremendous view of the valley below from the extra large covered deck in the back. Adriano was an excellent host and always available to help out. The 49 bus line had a stop in front of the apartments and made commuting by public transportation very convenient. Full kitchen made cooking easy and helped save money by eating meals at home. Two large bedrooms and baths provided privacy for our group of three. Dining room table with monastery history was great location to each inside and study the valley when not enjoying the view and dining on the patio. We stayed for one month and I highly recommend this property and I thank Adriano and his wife for making our stay pleasant and memorable.

Nice cake and wine, insufficient amount of paper goods,requiring 25 minute walk to purchase toilet paper and paper towels. The towels were like sandpaper. There were a few safety issues. The balcony was lovely. An explanation of using the #49 bus , which is easy to use would have saved us much grief had we been given instructions on arrival.

The communication before, during and after our stay was excellent. We appreciated the warm welcome, accompanied by tasty homemade chocolate cake and wine too. The location of the apartment was top class as a base to explore Rome. It was extremely clean, quiet, well equipped with complimentary toiletries, tea/coffee/ water/ fruit.

This apartment was perfect for the four of us for five nights. It was a little further from the Vatican entrance than I had hoped but we always managed to walk there in good time.

Adriano was a fantastic host! The apartment is clean and spacious and the view is wonderful. We greatly appreciated the delicious cake and wine on arrival. The local neighborhood is great and we found amazing food a quick walk away. We weren’t able to lower the blinds in either bedroom and there were only sheets on the beds and no blankets. Very minor issues and overall we had a wonderful time in Rome!

This apartment is extremely good value for money - not just because of its awesome location. It’s huge, stylish clean and comfortable and whisper-quiet at night - a big thumbs up from our family!

The apartment is located directly opposite the Vatican walls and has two bus lines serving it.
It is spacious, well equipped and has a great terrace as well. We felt welcome and home there. Communication with Christina and Adriano was uncomplicated, easy and very fast. Furthermore, we could park our cark on the public parking just opposite the street for less than 10 EUR a day with weekends and nights being free of charge.
We can only recommend this apartment and would not hesitate in choosing Christina and Adriano as our hosts again, when we come back to Rome!

Vrbo in Rome
Great location next to Vatican City, easy to get to from train station, the only thing I would recommend to people is to Uber/cab from metro train to vrbo the steps mentioned are tough in the heat while towing your luggage. The amenities were great (e.g. AC), Adriano who met us at the VRBO was great and helpful.

Adriano and Cristina were wonderful hosts. They were helpful with arranging transportation from the airport and offered us assistance in where to catch the train to Florence. Cristina sweetly made us a delicious cake and left us fruit. They were readily available to answer questions about the apartment or Rome. The apartment is walking distance to the Vatican. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view. We would stay there again.

Family Friendly
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely place by the Vatican City. It is a 15 min walk to the basilica and it’s a bus ride away from the city center. It comfortably fit a family with kids and the hosts were very quick to respond and were helpful when it came to figuring out transportation. We would recommend this place.

This property was amazing. One side an amazing view overlooking the city, the other directly across from the Vatican. The most welcoming host we have seen, even made us a cake. This property has an incredible balcony, unfortunately it was too cold to enjoy while we were there.

Wonderful stay in Rome!
We had a terrific 4-week vacation in Rome in large part because of having an excellent apartment in which to stay, as well as the kindness of Adriano and Cristina. The apartment is clean and spacious with a beautiful view of western Rome. We had friends visit us yet never felt crowded. Adriano and Cristina are wonderful. Very friendly and quick to respond to our questions. We had one mini-emergency--I locked the keys in the apartment on a day friends were coming to visit--and they responded immediately. It is a good feeling in a foreign country to know that if you have a problem someone is there locally that will help you out as best they can.
Once again, this is a wonderful place to stay in Rome. I am already planning to return next year!

Loved our stay there; great views of the neighborhood below and sunsets. Within blocks to the Vatican entrance and rail stations. The only draw- back was we had two -people who have walking limitations, it was difficult to get around to other historical sites and find a taxi at times.
Thanks again.

Great place to stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rome. The apartment was clean, plenty of room and very well located. Close to the Vatican and only 15 min walk to the subway station to take you to the other sites.
The host was great, giving good advise and the cake that Cristina made was delicious. We recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Rome/Vatican.
