Fabulous could only fault that the ac unit didn’t work

Old convent great property

This is such a great property. Huge rooms, cool decor. Close to everything yet quiet and peaceful. Nice linens - it even had great pillows which has been a first for us in Europe. Marco went over and above greeting and helping us. Even the restaurant he recommended was superb.

No lights in the stairway going up to the unit - or maybe we just didn’t know where to look

Marco is an exceptional host. He helped us park our car and carry our suitcases to his beautiful rental apartment, which was actually his grandparents at one time it is nicely furnished and located right at the main square, which proved to be very convenient but a bit noisy. I would recommend a stay at this lovely home.

Excellent location, close to restaurants and bars. The castle is very nearby and worth a visit. There is a pleasant walk to the lake but with an uphill climb on the way back. Bracciano is 30-40 minutes by car to Fiumancino airport so was a convenient spot for our friends needing to go to the airport the next day. Marco was a very helpful host, facilitating finding the nearby free parking and helping with our luggage.

The shower is rather small and could be a problem for some.

The apartment was very clean and well maintained. The location was excellent--in the heart of the historic, picturesque old city within easy walking distance of the amazing castle and several excellent restaurants. We enjoyed walking around the streets, exploring the shops, enjoying the panoramic views of the lake, and trying new restaurants each day. We especially enjoyed the Ristorantino del Castello in the main square below the castle and just 20 meters from the apartment. (Tip: try the Cheesecake al Raffaello for dessert!) The owner, Anna, and her son, Marco, were very helpful and prompt in responding to our messages and meeting us at the house to give us keys and answer our questions.

The apartment is an old family home in the historic quarter. Though clean and comfortable, it is quite basic. Your rental fee buys you old world charm and a great location, but not a luxurious hotel room, if that is what you are looking for. The bathroom is very small, and the shower is a typically Italian space-saver variety that is barely large enough to turn around in. Important note: Do not try to drive your car to the address of the apartment. There is no adjacent parking. The streets close by are extremely narrow to drive through, and when you park to offload your suitcases, you could receive a parking ticket and fine. There are several parking lots or garages within a 5 or 10 minute walk from the apartment. As you approach the middle of town, before you get to Via Umberto I and Via Fioravanti, look for the signs with a blue square and a P in the middle or the word Parcheggio. Some are free, and some require a fee (pagamento).

The location was perfect - directly below the castle and right next to wonderful restaurants.

Everything was perfect!

The hosts were very helpful and responsive to our requests and were very kind. The apartment is peaceful, nicely furnished and very clean. It is wonderfully located with super places to eat a few steps away from the door. Excellent internet.

The location. The size of the property and the hosts were just brilliant.

Nothing.
