“Stop searching, book at Caracola 4!”

This has been our fifth stay in consecutive years at the apartment and once again, the experience has been absolutely great! Caracola 4 has everything you need to have a fantastic & relaxed holiday stay at beautiful Chipiona. The apartment is located approximately 10 minutes’ walk from the beach, in a quiet residential area, with a convenient food store located round the corner. There is an additional larger supermarket (DIA) located 10 minutes’ walk approximately. Apartment is very well equipped with all necessary kitchen appliances. It has aircon in the living-room and both bedrooms. Beds are very comfortable and terrace (with hosepipe available) & rooms are spacious, including the wardrobes. Apartment is also nicely decorated and is very secure with bars in all windows and a secured door lock. Owners, Mari & Antonio are very kind and generous and are always willing to help you in anything you may need which makes our stay very comfortable. We will definitely come back next year!

Apartment's owner Comments
Elena and Álvaro are already friends who have been staying with us for six years now and have already made their reservation for their seventh stay, in 2026.
We are very grateful for all the praise they give us about our house, which we assume is true and they will see it that way, otherwise they wouldn't come back so often.
They are also admirable people, very attentive and respectful.
Álvaro and Elena clearly love Chipiona. They spend every morning on the beach, having lunch at a beach bar, and in the evenings they explore the town and dine at their favorite restaurant.
They live in Oxford, United Kingdom, and they inform me that they have already booked their flights for July 2026.
Our thanks to this couple for their loyalty, their rating, and their wonderful comment they posted on our ad.
Thank you very much, and see you next year!

An amazing apartment with fantastic balconies right in the center of Rome. A really unique place. I can highly recommend it and would definitely visit again. Lovely local neighborhood streets as well.

Thanks for letting us stay in your apartment!

We have been here for a few years now and it feels like home. It is a home and we love that it has been lived as a family holiday home. The location, view, everything about it is gorgeous. It is on the rocks and if the sea is agitated this limits the possibility to swim, as the rocks are too dangerous and the swimming pool can’t be cleaned. It is a limitation that we know, but can’t be annoying if you don’t know. We love this place.

Come sempre siamo stati benissimo, ormai ci sentiamo a casa nella villa. Unico commento / richiesta - il letto della camera matrimoniale è davvero duro e fa rumore ogni volta che uno si gira durante la notte. Andrebbe davvero sostituito. E altra cosa pratica, il gas in cucina ci mette le ore per far bollire l’acqua, magari una piastra elettrica sarebbe meglio

Séjour parfait. Appartement idéalement situé et très calme. Fonctionnel.

Merci pour ces très belles vacances passées grâce à vous !

  Tim / United States of America

Seven of us stayed at this home and were pleased with the location and the host's helpfulness in assisting with transportation, dining, and activities. It's a place to visit!

  Florence / France

L’appartement est très beau, spacieux, fonctionnel et agréable, parfait pour quelques jours avec nos trois enfants. Nous avons bcp apprécié son emplacement dans le centre historique, facile pour les commerces, les restaurants et les visites.

  Javier / Spain

This is the apartment you want in a chaotic city. The apartment is more spacious than the average unit, especially considering you are about 5 min walk from both Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. The host does a great job of communicating with you, and this is a great place to come and relax after a long day of walking and sight seeing……reserve now!!!! ;)

Thank you again for allowing us to stay, we loved the apartment.

This place was perfect for our family of three visiting Rome for a week. The location for us was the best part, as it is super close to John Cabot University and we were visiting our eldest child there. The apartment itself has tons of character and is very comfortable. It is in a nice neighborhood, close lots of great restaurants and cafes and was not far from Vatican City. Check in was easy as a staff member met us at the apartment, and the A/C was a relief as it was super hot during our stay. I wish we could have stayed longer!

  Jonathan / Israel

Great location, spacious apartment and an amazing host. The apartment was well equipped for a family of 6. Minor issues: the couches covers could be replaced and the apartment has an upper floor studio with a terrace but we didn’t use it because the stairs are steep and inconvenient to bring up laundry or your breakfast (the rest of the apartment is spacious so you don’t really need the upper part) Overall a great stay in the heart of Rome ❤️

We had a great stay. Another minor issue- there was a smell of sewage from the shower room in some of the days Anyway thank you very much We hope to come back and visit the eternal city and stay again at the apartment as a great home base Jonathan

  Catherine / Canada

We loved our stay! This home is even better than the photos. The description is accurate, the host was warm and welcoming and even left us some food which was wonderful. The location is very central and walkable and felt safe. The AC works great and we appreciated having laundry too. The decks are amazing. You have to be ok with the tiny spiral stairs to book this place and access the upper floor and deck. My family of four with two teenagers absolutely loved our stay and dream of coming back one day.


Perfect!
 

  Brian / United States of America

Views were spectacular, outdoor space was amazing, and the inside had everything you needed! Great location with lots to do near by and the support staff was incredible!!

Pack and play was pretty outdated and smelled a bit, and not sure there is anything that can be done about the ants. Also, might be helpful to have a broom or battery powered leaf blower to help clean up the debris each day from the trees but that would be nice.
 

  Michael / United States of America

Our stay at villa vendicari was fabulous. We were two families and we rented both the Senior and Junior suite for a week. Both suites are well appointed and very comfortable. The AC worked well such that even in the heat of July, the villas provided a very comfortable respite. But more than that, the property is gorgeous and peaceful. It was the oasis we returned to after full days at the nearby beaches, and the pool was a hit with the kids. Guglielmo, the host, was the most responsive and gracious host that we've ever had on airbnb, even arranging for the house to be cleaned midweek at no charge. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone visiting sicily. there are great nearby beaches / beach clubs and Noto, a great small city with nice restaurants, is only 20 minute drive away.

Thank you, Guglelmo, for the wonderful stay and hospitality. We had a memorable, wonderful week in Sicily and Villa Vendicari was a wonderful base for our stay. your hospitality was truly incredible and unique and it really made our stay that much more comfortable and pleasant. Thank you again!
 

  Elena / United States of America

The location and the apartment are perfect, very comfortable, beautifully decorated, close to everything but set slightly off the beaten path so all the vibrancy of Trastevere is near but none of the chaos. The bathroom, living area and bedroom are lovely, and the kitchen area though small is very efficient. When I needed something and asked, the staff helped me the next day. I would love to stay here again.

  Jennifer / Canada

I stayed at this apartment for about a month and I had a wonderful time! Guglielmo and Iryna were very helpful and responsive, and kept in touch with me throughout my stay to ensure everything went smoothly. The apartment is beautiful and larger than the photos, with a lovely view of Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore. The location is great, in an easily walkable area and close to bus stops and metro stations. Outside there is often a street market where you can buy produce, meat, cheese, and souvenirs. There are also tons of nearby restaurants and a grocery store just down the road- plus a phenomenal gelato place just around the corner!

  Amber / United States of America

The location is excellent, with easy walking to nearly every major attraction in Rome. There are public transportation options nearby, as well as taxi stations. Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond. He was extremely kind and understanding about our transportation delays. Highly recommend staying here!

Thank you so much for being such a good host!
 

  Dykema / United States of America

We really enjoyed staying at Villa La Rocca.  It was more than accommodating for the 2 families (6 people total).   Especially enjoyed the Italian kitchen which we made great of and the choice of the indoor or outdoor dining table.   The outdoor shower was a huge bonus.  It was a few steps down to the street, and great access to restaurants, groceries and to the beach.   Our guide Marco was a terrific host and really made our vacation special by taking us to some great places that were "off the beaten path". Thank you Marco, until we see you again.

  Charles / United States of America

Our family of five enjoyed the space. Location was very convenient and had the bonus of a small “farmers market” right around rhe corner for great fruits and vegetables. We were there in late June and temps 90’s (F), overall unit was able to stay cool with AC but the bedroom with two single beds does not have dedicated AC (it relies on the AC unit in the adjoining living room).

  Rick / United States of America

We had such an awesome time at Villa La Rocca! The villa exceeded our expectations in every way. We especially liked the kitchen and made great use of it. The outside shower was a bonus. Marco is such a special person and we enjoyed spending time and getting to know him. Next time we visit we hope to stay with you again. Can you direct me to where we can leave a review

  Lori / United States of America

The villa was beautiful and more then we expected !The villa we stayed in was absolutely fabulous, and Marco wasn’t just a host — he was like a personal concierge who helped plan every detail of our trip. He turned our vacation into a true travel experience, and we can’t wait to come backThe dinner they prepared for us was better than any restaurant — truly unforgettable and incredible :)))

  Smantha / United States of America

Perfect location to everything you want to see in Rome and very quirky and fun place. Appreciated the AC very much. Hosts were really great.

  Ameera / United States of America

Guglielmo’s home was very comfortable, easy to get to, on a quiet street but not to far from the hustle and bustle of the city. We felt right at home, and really appreciated our hosts responsiveness and hospitality. Totally worth what we paid and also would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much for your hospitality. Your home truly felt like a safe comfortable haven from the rush of people and heat. You have a beautiful home. Thank you!
 

  Jeff / United States of America

We had a great stay here for 6 days with our family of 6. The apartment was great with a ton of space for us to wind down. The apartment is in a GREAT location in Rome very close to Piazza Navona and many restaurants. It is on a very quiet street and we never heard any outside noise. The apartment is several stories up with 67 steps which was fine for us because we have no mobility problems. The host was extremely receptive to our needs and very accommodating which we very much appreciated. We would stay here again.

We very much appreciate you helping with removal of the dry plants and potpourri, as well as working to clean the shower and bathroom. The furniture covers in the living area might be due for cleaning or washing, but we very much enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again.

The peaceful setting was perfect. Surrounded by nature, the villa is beautifully and thoughtfully designed. Besides the villa itself, we especially enjoyed the outdoor terrace with the garden and the pool. The hosts were warm and welcoming. Hopefully, we’ll return!
