Property Description
Luminous and cosy studio apartment of 35 m², located in the western part of the city, within a quiet set of buildings, in a strategic position between the international airport “Leonardo da Vinci” (Fiumicino) and the centre of Rome. Piazza San Pietro can be reached on foot (approx. 3.5 km), and there is underground in the area (“Cornelia” station line A) and buses that take you to all the most important tourist attractions as well as to the airport. Within 700 meters is one of the greatest markets of the city, and just beyond are four different supermarkets. For shopping, we recommend Via Boccea, a street of great commercial vocation where you will find clothes and footwear. There are numerous restaurants, pizzerias, bars, cinemas, meeting spots and Internet cafes, which are also tranquil at night. For nature lovers, within 2 or 3 km there are three public green zones, including the largest park in Rome, Monumental Park (186 hectares), Villa Doria Pamphili. The buildings have a small parking area in front of the entrance where suitcases can be unloaded comfortably and there is occasionally parking. There is also a pay parking garage within 300 meters – guests may easily bring their suitcases with wheels to the building where there is also a lift, unfortunately not apt for people with disabilities. The apartment was renovated in 2006 taking into consideration the exigencies of travellers - and in spite of being far from home - many prefer to be in a domestic atmosphere rather that in a hotel. The furniture is simple and functional, to comfortably welcome two adults in a standard double bed, with the possibility of providing accommodation for two children or a third adult on a sofa bed. The elements of the flat include: TV, HiFi with CD player, climate control, corner kitchen with sink, an electric refrigerator of 130 litres with freezer, two-burner stove, microwave, toaster, complete kitchen settings for 4 people (pots, dishes, places setting, utensils) in addition to bath towels, sheets and kitchen towels. The bathroom is equipped with a shower and small closet, in separate room with window. There is also a small covered balcony overlooking the interior garden with a parasol and a small table and chairs. The price includes all the services and the cleaning (initial, final and intermediate, when anticipated). Domestic animals of small stature are accepted.

Location Description
Rome has always been a city of great importance throughout history. The early civilizations have left their mark on Rome’s streets, art, architecture, and monuments.
The Coliseum is the largest and most spectacular construction from the Roman era, built to house the famous battles between gladiators and beasts. Known world-wide, this authentic and marvellous architecture from the antiquity is the symbol of the eternal city. It was constructed by the Flavia Dynasty on what used to be the artificial lake of the Domus Aurea for Nerón, after the Roman fire (64 A.C.)
The Roman Forum is the most important archaeological area in Rome. It was the centre of Roman public life and it was occupied after the draining of the marshy valley that was between the Palatino and the Campidoglio en the VII century A.C. The Forum was the centre for political, religious, and commercial activities in ancient Rome. As time passed, they built the section opposite the Imperial Forum, in order to respond to the necessities of a growing population, or possibly to give even more emphasis to the grandeur of the empire.
The numerous plazas and fountains are probably a symbol of the eternal city. The very famous Fontana di Trevi was designed by the architect, Nicola Salvi, in the century XVIII. It was the location for one of the scenes in the movie “La Dolce Vita” by Fellini, and it has become one of the essential stops for tourists who hope to take part in the tradition of throwing a coin in the fountain and having their wish granted, as well as assuring their return to the eternal city. The “correct procedure” is to turn your back to the fountain and throw the coin with your right hand over your left shoulder.
The Plaza del Popolo is considered one of the best urban works of the city. It is situated in the junction of 3 main streets and is characterized by the Porta del Popolo, a work by Bernini which was the access gate to Rome for those travelling from the North on the Via Flaminia.
Plaza Navona is one of the most famous plazas, where you can admire major works by Bernini, Borromoni and Porta, excellent exponents of Baroque Art. It is one of the most frequented places in Rome, by tourists just as much as the Romans, who assemble here with friends in the evenings and nights and fill up all different types of restaurants and cafes.
Plaza Spagna – Fontana della Barcaccia is one of the most distinctive plazas in the city, characterized by the front steps to the Trinidad del Monte, the stage for many fashion shows. It is located among the most exclusive and elegant streets in Rome. From the Plaza Spagna you can go up the stairs to the Pincio Terrace, where you will find a splendid panoramic view of the city.
The beautiful Villa Borghese is the largest public park in Rome, characterized by its trails, trees and lakes. There is a magnificent view from the finest terrace in the city, the Belvedere del Pincio.
