About this property

A Green Oasis in Town with a Magnificent View of S.Peter Dome

The major characteristic of this quiet and bright location is its positioning in a green area in the center of Rome, with a terrace where you can enjoy having breakfast over the skyline of the city.
The apartment, suitable to host a family (up to 3 people), is located on Via San Damaso, 15 minute walking distance from the Vatican City, on the top floor (5th, with elevator). The building faces a private park and just below the terrace you can see grazing sheeps, goats and horses, while a family of foxes is asking for food. Forget the confusion of the city and relax yourself just few minutes from the center of town.
All rooms are very bright and cool in summer, due to the position of the apartment. The terrace, the living room, and the main bedroom overlook a splendid, broad, panoramic view of St. Peter's dome and all of central Rome, as far as Villa Borghese, the Pincio terrace, Villa Medici and Trinita’ dei Monti.

It consists of a living/dining room with a dining table, a TV and a a pull-out style queen sleep sofa, one double bedroom (160 x 200 cm), a second bedroom with a single bed, a bathroom equipped with tub and shower, a kitchen completely equipped (gas cooker, microwave-oven, fridge/freezer, , both moka and American-style coffee machines, kettle, toaster and all the necessary cooking utensils, no dishwasher) and a large terrace (20 sqm) with table and chairs. A washing machine is available upon request.
The apartment, totally refurnished, has luxury finishing and parquet floors in every room.

A bus stop (n. 982) is at the gate of the building, taking you to sixteenth-century Rome (Via Giulia, Piazza Farnese, Campo de’ Fiori) or to the Vatican City and metro A “Ottaviano” station. Many other buses are a few minutes walking distance. A train stop (ROMA S. PIETRO, line FR3 connected to FR1 from “Leonardo da Vinci airport” at the TRASTEVERE station) is a 10 minutes walking while a taxi ride to and from the airport costs 40 euro (March 2012). Free parking is easily available in the area, or a private parking place can be arranged upon request.


PLEASE NOTE: Check-In is from 4 to 7 p.m. and Check-Out by 11 a.m., to allow cleaning and preparation for the next guests.

Recommended without any doubt
Alberto’s flat is lovely, spotlessly clean and has beautiful views, thanks to an extremely privileged location. It is a convenient distance from the centre (only a 20 minute walk) but thankfully far enough from the hustle and bustle of what is a very noisy city indeed. In fact, the views from the terrace make one feel as if you’re in the country. A perfect terrace on which to eat breakfast before a day of sightseeing and put your feet up afterwards. You could not wish for a more hospitable, helpful, informative and friendly host than Alberto. We would certainly recommend this flat to anyone considering visiting Rome. The location also means it is a fairly quick taxi ride from Fiumicino airport, which was actually as economical as public transport. Have I mentioned the views?

Lovely place
My sister and I had a great week staying at Alberto and Anne Marie’s apartment. They were both very welcoming but not intrusive, the apartment was just as described, very clean and tidy with great views over Rome and we felt very much at home. If you’re planning to stay for more then 3 days I’d recommend getting the 72 hours Roma Pass which includes free entrance to 2 main attractions, eg Colosseum and Villa Borghese and free bus/metro travel. It’s only about 15 mins walk to the main attractions in Rome but after a long day sightseeing you’re grateful for a quick bus ride “home” and you can hop all over Rome as the fancy takes you. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this property, hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

A great apartment in a good location well served by public transport. We particularly liked the views from the balcony. Alberto could not have been more helpful. A lot of really useful information sent to us when we booked. The sound & light show at the Forum is well worth a visit. We would book again and have recommended to others Many thanks Alberto for all your help and advice. James & Christel Graham Surrey UK

Perfekte Lage und super Gastgeber
Die Lage spricht für sich: Terrasse/Balkon mit Ausblick auf den Petersdom. Vor der Haustür ein Bus (alle 30min) und in ca. 8 min Entfernung mehr Busse, die alle Richtung Stadtzentrum fahren. Der Gastgeber Alberto und seine Frau sind äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend; auch Lebensmittel waren schon da: Butter, Toastbroat, Marmelade, Orangen, Erdbeeren, Wein. Auch Kondensmilch/Kaffee sind da sowie alle Verbrauchsmittel (z.B. Spülmittel). Auch der Consierge der Wohnanlage ist immer nett und freundlich. Absolute Empfehlung unsererseits und Dank an Alberto und seine Frau.
