Absolutely perfect! So comfortable, awesome location, excellent communication. A/C!!! I'm so glad we found this place for our family. We LOVED everything about it. FYI The stairs are steep, just so you know.

This place is in a beautiful location with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved the neighboring restaurants and made good use of the terrace. Gugliemo was very thorough in explaining the charming apartment. I would absolutely recommend staying here for your next trip around Rome!

Location is amazing and in the heart of a lovely neighborhood. The apartment has many amenities (air conditioning, elevator, washer). The bathroom is lot older (can't flush toilet paper).

Apartment's owner Comments
Thanks Shaz, I'm sorry you never gave me the possibility to meet you for a couple of tips. This is the second review that mentions the bathroom as a problem. Let's look into it for future renters so it's clear. This is an old building, the basement is over 2000 years old and the building itself some 500 years. The building's plumbing is over 100 years old and to get it fixed you need all the single households to agree to do it and then agree on a budget and then agree on how the works should be done and who is going to do it. This takes time, there are dozens of households in the building and not all of them are affluent. In the meantime we ask renters not to throw the toilet paper into the WC or at least throw as little as possible in it, the reason is that it can easily get clogged. If it gets clogged it can be fixed, but it's obviously a drag, to avoid this risk, we ask renters not to throw anything in the toilet. Some renters like Shaz here, have found it somewhat incredible, I'll make sure on the description everybody is aware of it beforehand. Other than that, really, the bathroom is very small, but it's ok. Old, sure, but it's really not true there is a cleanliness issue (previous comment), we have a professional company taking care of cleaning and really it's the same standard as in all the other bathrooms of apartments where toilet paper can be flushed and nobody complains about it.
Private housing in the old town here, all share this kind of issues, big hotel chains fixed it because they have the money and most importantly one single owner that can take the decision. This should be a disclaimer for all the private properties in the old town. Still, quite frankly, if you know of it in advance, for most of us it's not a big deal of a problem.

What a wonderful place to stay! PierGuido's apartment is close to Termini station, has a wonderful view, is incredibly spacious and a short walk to Rome's well known historic attractions (i.e. Colosseum, Roman Forum, Santa Maria Majore, etc.) We loved this quaint apartment. It was one of the highlights of our stay in Roma. Thank you!

  Julia / United States of America

I had a wonderful time at Guglielmo's apartment. It is clean and spacious with lots of light. It is close to everything and would definitely go back. The rooftop terrace is very nice and convenient since the apartment is on the top floor.

 sono stata molto bene nel vostro appartamento, era pulito, comodo, e perfetto per i miei bisogni.

  Lukas / Germany

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, der Kontakt mir dem Vermieter war unkompliziert und sehr freundlich. Das Haus ist mit Grill und Pool bestens ausgestattet. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden was man für einen komfortablen Urlaub braucht. Wir werden gerne wieder kommen!

  Charlez / France

The apartment is very well located, close to all the essential places (5 min walk from the Pantheon and maximum 30 min walk to the furthest places). The terrace, the two bathrooms, the welcome and the sympathy of Guglielmo mean that we will come back with great pleasure. I recommend the apartment with eyes closed.

Like we told you before, thank you again for your welcome. we can't wait to come back to Rome and this time we'll be the ones to invite you.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié votre appartement.
Il est lumineux, confortable, spacieux. Et la clim a été la bienvenue !
L'équipement de la cuisine à été un peu juste, notamment pour faire du café.
Un autre point gênant également, a été la pression de l'eau dans la salle de bain
L'accueil est très bien malgré l'heure tardive ! Merci

Appartement lumineux, spacieux, confortable, calme, très agréable. Seul bémol, dans la salle de bain, le débit d'eau est à peine suffisant.

Wir waren 2 wundervolle Wochen in der Villa Vendicari zu Gast und wären sehr gerne noch länger geblieben. Bewohnt haben wir die große Villa mit 2 Familien, es war Platz en masse, das großzügige Gelände mit dem fantastischen Garten ist eine grüne Oase! Überall riecht es nach Rosmarin, Lavendel, Zitronen, Minze, Majoran. Die Natur im Mai/Juni war prächtig.
Das Haus ist umgeben von einem Naturschutzgebiet mit mehreren Naturstränden, die sehr zu empfehlen sind. Unweit entfernt sind ebenfalls zahlreiche tolle Restaurants/Bauernhöfe.
Grazie Mille, Guglielmo, für die Gastfreundschaft! Wir haben es sehr genossen!

We had booked to stay here for 3 weeks but the night before we were due to leave for Rome, the owner told us she had a problem and we couldn't move in. We booked in to a hotel for 2 nights and Guglielmo arranged for us to move to another apartment for a week. Eventually, with his input, we were able to move into this apt for the last 2 weeks of our holiday. We also have to comment on the description of this apartment:
there is no mention of the 99 spiral steps to negotiate going up and down (frankly, these are dangerous for most ordinary users);
the apartment is not quiet as contended (the garbage collection for the whole neighbourhood begins at 6am with bins of bottles being thrown into the trucks and this continues until mid-morning; and there is the constant presence of raucous seagulls which seem to occupy both the abutting roofs and even get into Cristina’s roof-space);
the apartment is dilapidated (shutters falling to pieces and one is even repaired with black plastic bags; several windows do not close easily; cupboards coming off their fixings; two of the chairs are rusty and another was broken and thus unsafe);
many of the amenities mentioned on the website are not there (bicycles (!), coffee table, chest of drawers, etc);
no air con (given the heat -unseasonal or not- this was a serious omission; and given the noisiness of the seagull and refuse removal, this is essential even when it’s not so hot);
there were no instructions about garbage separation and disposal, how to work the TV, sorting out problems with the water (thanks to Guglielmo for coming to help with that; though we must add that it never really worked properly and it activated the heating and it smelled distinctly odd).

Wunderschöne Unterkunft. Sehr besondere Architektur. Ausgefeilter Geschmack. Die Küche ist auch sehr gut ausgestattet. Toller Garten, super Pool, schöne Blicke. Guglielmo ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber. Wir hatten das Glück, ihn persönlich zu treffen. Es hat alles reibungslos geklappt. Immer offen für Fragen, sehr engagiert. Wir hoffen, noch einmal wieder zu kommen. Danke für deine Gastfreundschaft!

Hi Guglielmo. Really a pleasure to meet you. Perfect host. Interesting person. Beautiful place. Take care!

  Charlie / United States of America

What can we say? The apartment is unique and in the perfect location for Centro Roma. This is truly a Roman experience. Piazza Navona is just a few steps away. And the round bed inside the apartment is really comfortable. Many thanks.

  Natale / United States of America

Very big flat in a fantastic location in Rome surrounded by restaurants and beautiful landmarks. The reason for the low rating was the cleanliness of the apartment, the bathroom had many issues and it did not feel clean which is a big factor for me. If this is improved then it would be a fantastic place to stay!

 

Apartment's owner Comments
Hi Natale, Ouch I'm so sorry and surprised to read this since it hasn't happened before. We use a professional agency for the cleaning that is certainly not cheap and it has to take responsibility, we'll investigate this further, but for future renters, please, if you have a problem like that contact us, we'll send the cleaning immediately back in a moment of your choice so they don't disturb. I'm sorry you tell me when it's too late already.
I do hope you come back though and that you will let me know immediately anything that is not up to your standards
For future reference, to be honest, this apartment cannot possibly be considered 'big' not even by Roman standards. Nevertheless roughly 99% of the guests love it and we have a high percentage of repeat guests in this apartment.
Thanks for your feedback Natale, hope to meet you next time

  Linda / United States of America

Terrific host in a terrific location. The apt is in the ancient part of Rome, safely tucked behind a locked passageway leading to several apts. It's small but has all the essentials, including a washing machine and air conditioning. The location is truly perfect; about a 5 minute walk to Piazza Navona, 15 to the Pantheon, 20 to Vatican City and 25 to the closest metro. We're in our 70's and walked everywhere. The street has a small grocery store and a nice assortment of coffee bars, eateries, and an Irish pub for good measure. Equally important to our stay was the host, Guglielmo, from whom we received regular communication and arranged for an early check-in. He met us at check-in and showed us how everything worked and where we were located in relation to landmarks, food, etc. I'd recommend this property and stay again in the future.

Our family had a marvelous time in Rome. The fact that Roma won the UEFA championship sweetened the experience. I should mention that we had a problem with flies in the bathroom. Oddly they were in no other room. It wasn't a big deal for us but thought you'd like to know

Apartment's owner Comments
Thank you so much Linda, you've been such terrific guests I do hope you come back!

PS flies issue is being dealt with and solved now thanks for pointing that out

  Matthew / United States of America

The location was PERFECT. It’s about 15 minutes walk from the colosseum, it’s just outside the Altar of the Fatherland, and it’s just a few minutes walk from the Roman Jewish ghetto with great food options everywhere. The apartment was very clean and very nice looking. Really a great place and would stay there again.

  Laura / France

The stay was great, the appartement looks exactly like the photos. Guglielmo was very reactive when we arrived, it was really easy to find the place and he was waiting for us. The balcony is amazing, you can see the sunset, take your breakfast, we enjoyed it so much ! The appartement is clean. The localisation is perfect, there are a lot of bars and restaurant (a little bit noisy the night). I totally recommend this place!

Thanks for everything ! I’m glad we choose our place to stay :)

  Yana / Montenegro

I would definitely say that this is one the best impression of our whole city trip to Rome. It is so important to feel ourselves in a such cozy and stylish place during traveling. The place has everything you need and even more such as a great library, stylish magazines and old-fashioned furniture. Beautiful view, bell-ringing of a historical chapel are also benefits. My rate is 10/10!!

  Jane / United Kingdom

Fantastic host, fantastic apartment, fantastic location. The flat has lovely views over Roman rooftops and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The apartment is so close to everywhere and there are lots of frequent buses on the next street (2 minutes walk away). There are lots of lovely places to eat literally 5 minutes away. Guglielmo is a charming and super efficient host. Thank you!


We really enjoyed our stay at your apartment. Thank you! Just a little suggestion… it would be good to have a bit more crockery so one doesn’t have to wash up so often but that is really a little moan. The air-con and washing machine were really useful. The unpleasant smell in the shower room really did smell like old cooked cabbage which is rather unfortunate. We lived in Athens for a few years and so I totally understand old plumbing systems and poor water flow so I’m not sure what you can do about it. Thank you for sorting out the adapter so quickly because without it, the iron wouldn’t work either. We would really love to return soon. Best wishes. Jane and Andrew.

Roomy accommodations with large patios overlooking the water - beautiful setting. Location is great, close to center of Positano but far enough away to be quiet. Multiple good restaurant choices within a five minute walk. Photos accurate.
