  Riccardo our host was amazingly kind and hospitable. We had a 4hr flight delay, plus a 2hr wait for a taxi at the airport due to the chaos that ensued as all the other transports had stopped due to the late hour. Riccardo kept in touch with us, told us where to find the taxi rank and waited up for us so he could greet us when we arrived at the property. Despite arriving at 3:30am Riccardo took the time to welcome us, tell us about the apartment and it's location and gave us some road maps and metro maps and showed us where the best sites were to help navigate in the morning.
  
  The air-con was a great relief, the shower was wonderfully powerful and the kitchen facilities were well equipped. We weren't expecting our hosts to provide coffee and tea facilities and even a fridge stocked with drinks for us. This was extremely welcomed after such a long wait for our taxi transfer.
  
  The next morning Riccardo messaged me with recommendations of local restaurants, bars and the location of the nearest supermarkets and local markets.
  
  The apartment was wonderfully clean, self contained from the rest of the apartments in the block and it had a lovely little courtyard.
  
  The location was perfect, 10-15 minute walk to the Vatican, a few steps to the best ice-cream parlour I've ever had the pleasure to visit (Lemongrass) and a 2 minute walk to Ottavio metro station.
  
  If we visit Rome again in the future, we will surely book to stay at Riccardo and Marzia's St Peter's Charming House. In fact I wish I could live here permanently 😊

• Tetyana from United Kingdom (9/10)

  House is well equipped and central but quiet at the same time. Attentive hosts. Would gladly stay at this property again and already recommended it to my friends.

• Lyubomir from Bulgaria (10/10)

  The location is top notch, you’re at 30m from Ottaviano metro station, the house itself is in an inner court behind a secure massive door.
  
  The host, Riccardo, was most informative and kind.

• Chris from United Kingdom (10/10)

  A magical place, a magical house, a magical host!!! If we go back to Rome, it will be here and nowhere else!!!

• Filip from Poland (10/10)

  Everything was great. Great location, you can basically walk everywhere. Very nice and helpful owner.

• Zuzanna from Poland (10/10)

  It was a perfect place for our stay in Rome. We couldn’t ask for a better localization with metro station few steps from front door and Vatican within 10min walk. Many restaurants and markets in the neighborhood. The owners were very helpful, the time of check in and check out is flexible, we were allowed to stay longer on our last day. They also told us about the best shops, places to eat and attractions. The house was very clean and well equipped. We would definitely choose St Peter Charming House for our next visits in Rome and recommend it to everybody!

  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  
  St. Peter's Charming House is an absolute gem in the heart of Rome! It’s a private standalone house, which is a rare find, nestled in a beautiful, green garden—a peaceful oasis in the bustling city.
  
  The location is unbeatable—right across from a metro station and just a 7-minute walk to the Vatican! It’s also next to a large pedestrian shopping street, perfect for exploring local stores, cafes, and restaurants.
  
  The house itself is modern, spotless, and equipped with all amenities—kitchen, appliances, toiletries, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. It truly feels like a home away from home.
  
  Big thanks to Riccardo, who was incredibly helpful and accommodating. He welcomed us earlier than expected, provided useful tips about the neighborhood, and ensured we had everything we needed.
  
  We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Rome—highly recommended!
