A beautiful apartment, an unbeatable location, and unforgettable hospitality made this our favorite
Raffaello's Place truly lives up to its name.
Our host, Flavio, made everything easy from the very beginning. His brother welcomed us with the keys, introduced us to the apartment, shared neighborhood recommendations, and told us its fascinating history. According to him, the apartment was once the home of Raphael (Raffaello) while he was decorating the Vatican Papal Apartments. Knowing we were staying in a place with such remarkable history made our visit to Rome even more special.
Of every place we stayed during our trip through Italy, Greece, and Turkey, this was our favorite. The apartment beautifully blends Renaissance history with modern comfort. With five bedrooms and plenty of space for our group of eight, it was spotless, luxurious, and exactly as pictured.
The location is unbeatable. Just steps from St. Peter's Square and the Vatican, we walked almost everywhere.
What made this stay unforgettable, however, was the neighborhood. Every morning we enjoyed breakfast at Raffaello's Bar downstairs, where Omar and his staff treated us like family. When my niece asked about hot chocolate, Omar surprised her with a cup the very next morning, even though they normally don't serve it in the summer. We also became regulars at Pizza & Sandwich da Pasquale, where Andres and his family welcomed us like old friends.
Raffaello's Place gave us much more than a beautiful place to stay. It gave us the chance to experience Rome not just as visitors, but as temporary neighbors. Thank you, Flavio, for sharing such a remarkable home with our family. It's an experience we'll never forget.

What a wonderful space, close to the Vatican and many restaurants! Would absolutely stay here again!
The apartment was very comfortable and had plenty of space for multiple people. The home was fully stocked with everything we needed. I love how close it is to the Vatican and to restaurants!
What truly stood out was when we had noticed that the iron was missing and it shows as a listed amenity on the listing. When the city tax was collected, the host went out of his way to go get us a new one. That level of care and attention made such a difference and showed how dedicated he was to making sure guests had a great experience.

Proximité du centre historique , à deux pas du Vatican et tranquillité du logement , dans une rue peu passante . Beaucoup de restaurants et stations de bus proches . La réactivité et disponibilité de notre hôte , Flavio.
Flavio a été toujours très réactif suite à nos demandes mais la climatisation des chambres ne fonctionnait pas ou peu , faute d ' entretien régulier, malgré son intervention . Vraiment dommage quand il fait 38 dehors !!!
Améliorations à prévoir : balai, serpillière , éponge , 1torchon supplémentaire , un rouleau de sopalin , sacs poubelle , bref, le minimum pour nous qui étions là pour une semaine pour maintenir propre ? Et prévoir des rangements fonctionnels dans les chambres , et cintres en quantité ; selon les chambres , les vêtements ont dû rester dans les valises .
