Summary: You must stay here to experience Rome. Gian and Cristina are amazing hosts and so welcoming it is like you are staying with family! Our family of 4 (two teenage daughters) stayed for 5 nights and our experience was exquisite. We are already trying to plan our next trip back to Rome! Perfect Roman apartment with plenty of room!The accommodations are beyond any hotel you will stay at in Rome and you are staying within ancient Rome. Gian helped us plan our stay and his recommendations for restaurants and using Petites Promenades and Sylvia were "spot on" for a cooking class, catacombs tour and day trip to Napoli and Pompei! He also helped arrange transportation to and from the airport which was so appreciated.We definitely look forward to returning!

Summary: Gian and Cristina were truly “SUPER” hosts. They took care of all our needs and were very responsive. They gave us a lot of recommendations that were all terrific. We look forward to returning again in the near future!

Summary: Incredible location, fantastic hosts who really put a lot of energy into creating a unique and authentic experience. Highly recommend.
Robert C. May 31, 2025 10:05:51 PM
Summary: My family had a lovely time in Rome staying at Gian and Christina’s beautiful and authentic apartment. The location, while quite busy, was conveniently located to many of the sights of the city, and Petites Promenades (introduced and recommended by our hosts) was a great resource for tours and experiences—very high quality guides, and a very fun Italian cooking class. We were also grateful for Gian’s TLC in arranging for car service for my family—very helpful in a city where taxi access is more difficult. The curated guidebook in the living room was also a helpful resource for restaurants and activities. Highly recommend!

Summary: We loved our stay at this fantastic property! The location is perfect for touring Rome, and the apartment itself and the views are amazing. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the balcony overlooking Trajan's Column. It is perfect for families and is truly a unique property. We can't recommend it enough.

Summary: Our family has stayed in many VRBO properties and can affirmatively say that it is the most luxurious and comfortable apartment we have stayed in. The apartment is immaculate, and they provided a cleaning service halfway through our stay. It is beautifully decorated, and you immediately feel immersed into the Italian/Roman culture and at home. Everything is very well appointed - bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen. Spacious living room to relax in. Great laundry room and they have plenty of umbrellas if needed, as well as phone chargers and adapters. Our hosts made sure to have water bottles in the fridge, coffee ready to go and breakfast items for us to eat. The location could not be better. 10 to 20 minutes walking from most major monuments (the Roman Forum is right in front of the apartment) and we walked everywhere. The location is also in a safe part of town - day or night. Our hosts were incredible and went above and beyond to make our stay spectacular. They helped us book drivers from and to the airport, put us in touch with an amazing Tour Company (Silvia and Elena at Petites Promenades were wonderful and their guides were fantastic). They also provided us with a list of amazing restaurants that people in Rome (not tourists) go to and they did not disappoint my husband and I, who are true foodies. They also have a wonderful suggestion book in the apartment that is very thorough. We will definitely rent this apartment again next time we are in Rome!

Summary: The Location & view:It was our 3rd time visiting Rome, and Gian & Cristina’s apartment made this visit the most exquisite experience of all! (we had stayed at St. Regis previously) The location is surreal - we didn’t realize the apartment is literally in the middle of historical Trajan’s square until we arrived there. It was truly an ideal location because all the major sites were within walking distance but it is not in the midst of hustle and bustle of craziness. Instead, there is wide open square in front of you with the incredible view. I knew that it has gorgeous view from the photos I had seen online, but it was way more magnificent in person! Waking up to such a view really made me soaking up being in Rome. The apartment:It was not only beautiful and comfortable, but was also filled with thoughtfully curated books and pictures of Rome and Italy, some telling stories that I had never known - I lost track of time going through them! Gian and Cristina even made their own book with photographs of Rome during the Corona Virus pandemic! Their love for Rome was so evident in every corner of the home. We also appreciated the thoughtful snacks and drinks they provided.The owners:Gian and Cristina were so pleasant and super responsive before and during the stay helping us with arranging tours, cooking class, and car services. We felt so well supported by them! This apartment is truly a gem - we highly recommend!!!

Summary: Hosts were fabulous the views from the apartment or exactly what we had hoped. They organized golf trips for us with Emmanuel, who was amazing and a ride to the airport. They recommended restaurants. Very, very nice stay We look forward to coming back
Jeff F. Oct 17, 2024 08:26:10 PM
Summary: I highly recommend this apartment in Rome! Communication with the owner before, during, and even after our stay was excellent. The apartment matched the description perfectly and is situated right in the heart of Rome. We were able to walk everywhere over three days, including the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and fantastic shopping and dining options. We even walked back from the Vatican! Gian recommended Petites Promenades for private tours of the Colosseum and Vatican, and our guide, Barbara, was fantastic. The apartment itself is beautiful and incredibly comfortable. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the balcony over Trajan's Forum and the monument to Victor Emmanuel II was breathtaking. All the amenities worked perfectly. The air conditioning, washer, and dryer were particularly convenient. We can't say enough good things about this apartment and host. If you're planning a trip to Rome, stay here—you will love it!
