Reviews
Janet from United States (10/10)
It was spacious,clean and close to many attractions. The bus was close and went to Trevi and many other places to visit.
Sumit from Finland (9/10)
Let me start off by thanking the host, Paolo for his friendly welcome after a long flight and allowing us a bit later than the check-in cut off at 6 pm. When we arrived, he showed us around and explained how to use the windows, gas, and other appliances. He also gave us a list of recommended pizza places and grocery stores nearby. Highly appreciated!
We also loved the huge bedrooms with excellent mattresses which allowed for super comfort. Lots of plug points for charging etc. Ample storage space to keep clothes in both bedrooms. There is also a study table in one of the bedrooms which is helpful. The living room is well designed with nice sofa sets and a wonderful bookshelf. There is a TV as well with a firestick which we actually did not use eventually since it asked us to enter an account or create one which was way too much hassle.
Beautiful paintings adorn the walls of each room, and these have been done by Paolo's parents. It is his ancestral home so plenty of character to the house. There is a very nice patio outside which is private but with limited sun there now, we did not actually sit there. It can be great in spring/summer time. The kitchen is cozy and has lot of pots and cutlery. The fridge, microwave work just fine.
The best part of course is the location, as it is next door to Vatican and also has very good connections via buses to train station and city center. Nice cafes all around and felt safe to walk. The mini market shops had very good fruits and vegetables which helped us a lot.Tracey from United Kingdom (10/10)
Location to the Vatican….literally just across the road!! Super Host. Lovely little courtyard at the rear giving so much needed quiet in such an amazingly bustling city.
Anne from United Kingdom (10/10)

Wendy from United Kingdom (10/10)
Lovely helpful host. Great property in fabulous location. Lots of character with great facilities.
Richard from Malta (10/10)
We spent 12 days in this place in August/September 2024. The place was immaculately clean and fully functional (efficient air-conditioning, clean fridge/freezer, fully working cooking, washing and ironing facilities)
The location is ideal for whomever needs to visit Vatican City, with convenience stores very close by and public transport within 5 mins walking (bus) or 10 mins (Roma S.Pietro train station). Internet was also available throughout the property – which was very important for my two teenagers.
Paolo (owner/administrator) was very responsive to our messages and very, very helpful to our requests. Would definitely rebook if I need to revisit.Stuart from United Kingdom (10/10)
Location, host, apartment, taxi across the road, Vatican minutes walk away, shops and restaurants next door/across the road. Home from home, fully equipped just like your own kitchen.
Luciano from Australia (10/10)
The owner Paolo was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. This was actually our second 3 night stay in this property because we loved it so much the first time. The property is in pristine condition and very clean. The location was brilliant, a very short walk to St Peter's Cathedral and Vatican Museum. Heaps of great restaurants right at your doorstep and across the road. We felt like locals. We felt very safe. We travelled all over Italy in June and July and without doubt the two properties that were a class above the rest were "Il Limone a San Pietro" in Rome and "Casa Brogi" in Milan. We'll be back in Rome next year and will definitely be booking this one again. If the owner Paolo is reading this review "thank you Paolo for a wonderful experience and for all your help". We will definitely be seeing you in 2025.
Claudia from Canada (10/10)
The property was clean, very close (like across the street) from St. Peter’s Square which made everything very accessible and walkable! It was spacious and most of all had air conditioning which was such a relief after a long day and evening walking around the city. In addition, the owner, Paolo, was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and answer any questions. He was available at all time and even secured our shuttles from the airport to apartment, and apartment to Civittavecchia for our cruise. Outstanding service and most gracious host. I’ve been to Rome many times and would most definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone.
Winkler from United States (10/10)
Paolo was welcoming and helpful. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, impeccably clean, conveniently located, and has a private outdoor space which was lovely.
