Reviews
Gwenyth from United States (10/10)
Our stay at the Vatican Fairytale Garden was incredible! Clean facilities and everything was as described. Titti was the best host we've ever had, incredibly helpful and going out of her way to give us great recommendations and itineraries. Location is great, a very quick walk to many nice restaurants and the best gelato we had during our stay! Bus and train stops are also very close by to get to city center easily. Would highly recommend booking here for your visit to Rome!
Alison from United Kingdom (8/10)
It was a great location for visiting the Vatican. Easy to get a bus to other areas of Rome for evening entertainment and sightseeing. It was a lovely apartment – but we only had 3 days in Rome and there is a lot to see so we didn't get to use communal facilities in the apartment much! All was very clean and well maintained. The host was very helpful.

Elizaveta from Montenegro (10/10)
Host is very friendly, she told us about nice places nearby like where to have breakfast and where is tasty gelato, also gave recommendations on trains and buses routes. Host allowed us to leave out baggage at the place and the room was ready earlier than check-in time.
The doors open without a key using a phone, which turned out to be quite convenient. There was free room cleaning every day. The room was clean and comfortable, little garden is beautiful, shared kitchen is well equipped.Liviu-cristian from Romania (10/10)
The apartment was beautiful and we had everything mentioned in the description (everything was clean, we had an AC and TV, the bed was comfortable, the furniture was lovely, and the garden was a cute relaxing place).
The owner is also a very nice and helpful lady who gave us many tips for our trip (what buses to take, what to visit, wonderful restaurants and gelato, etc.) and helped us with whatever we needed.
The location is very close to the Vatican, a train and bus station and many restaurants and other facilities.Liz from United Kingdom (8/10)
A lovely place in a convenient location. Titti was really welcoming and helpful giving us lots of top tips for our time in Rome. The bed was comfortable so we had good nights sleep.
Kathy from United Kingdom (9/10)
The location was fantastic, and for the most part, I was able to walk most places. Being in a local neighbourhood offered a different aspect to my first visit to Rome.
The facilities were excellent. The room was a good size and nicely decorated. Having access to a kitchen was a bonus.
My host was very helpful, even before I arrived in Italy. She sent instructions on how to get to the property and then on meeting in person provided helpful information on how to get around Rome and ideas where to eat locally.Jessenia from United States (10/10)
The cleanliness , politeness of the host and the cleaning services everyday
Rebecca from Australia (10/10)
